out as the default now, to receive as much testing as possible before
the NixOS 25.05 release.

  Users on old macOS versions should consider upgrading to a supported version (potentially using [OpenCore Legacy Patcher](https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/) for old hardware) or installing NixOS.

  If neither of those options are viable and you require new versions of software, [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org/) supports versions back to Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.



- The default kernel package has been updated from 6.6 to 6.12. All supported kernels remain available.



- GCC has been updated from GCC 13 to GCC 14.

  This introduces some backwards‐incompatible changes; see the [upstream porting guide](https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-14/porting_to.html) for details.
