Admins will be upgrading ORNL GitLab Servers on Saturday, 16 May 2026, from 7 AM until 11 AM EST. Repositories will experience intermittent outages during this time.
- 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.
- The `intel` driver for the X server (`services.xserver.videoDrives = [ "intel" ]`) is no longer functional due to incompatibilities with the latest Mesa version.
All users are strongly encouraged to switch to the generic `modesetting` driver (the default one) whenever possible, for more information see the manual chapter on [Intel Graphics](#sec-x11--graphics-cards-intel) and issue [#342763](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/342763).
- The `(buildPythonPackage { ... }).override` and `(buildPythonPackage { ... }).overrideDerivation` attributes is now deprecated and removed in favour of `overridePythonAttrs` and `lib.overrideDerivation`.
This change does not affect the override interface of most Python packages, as [`<pkg>.override`](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#sec-pkg-override) provided by `callPackage` shadows such a locally-defined `override` attribute.
The `<pkg>.overrideDerivation` attribute of Python packages called with `callPackage` will also remain available after this change.
- A new `pkgs.mattermost.buildPlugin` function has been added, which allows plugins to be built from source, including webapp frontends with a supported package-lock.json. See the Mattermost NixOS test and [manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable/#sec-mattermost-plugins-build) for an example.
- Note that the Mattermost module will create an account _without_ a well-known UID if the username differs from the default (`mattermost`). If you used Mattermost with a nonstandard username, you may want to review the module changes before upgrading.
- The `intel` video driver for X.org (from the xf86-video-intel package) which was previously removed because it was non-functional has been fixed and the driver has been re-introduced.
