The first version that supports zstd compression, to create the option
to eventually switch compression for the binary cache.
It was released one year ago on 2023-11-03 and first shipped in NixOS
23.11.
- Nixpkgs now requires Nix 2.3.17 or newer to allow for zstd compressed binary artifacts.
- The `sound` options have been removed or renamed, as they had a lot of unintended side effects. See [below](#sec-release-24.11-migration-sound) for details.
- The NVIDIA driver no longer defaults to the proprietary kernel module with versions >= 560. You will need to manually set `hardware.nvidia.open` to select the proprietary or open modules.
