# Release 25.11 ("Xantusia", 2025.11/??) {#sec-release-25.11}

## Highlights {#sec-release-25.11-highlights}

<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->

- Secure boot support can now be enabled for the Limine bootloader through {option}`boot.loader.limine.secureBoot.enable`. Bootloader install script signs the bootloader, then kernels are hashed during system rebuild and written to a config. This allows Limine to boot only the kernels installed through NixOS system.

## New Modules {#sec-release-25.11-new-modules}

<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->

- [gtklock](https://github.com/jovanlanik/gtklock), a GTK-based lockscreen for Wayland. Available as [programs.gtklock](#opt-programs.gtklock.enable).
- [Chrysalis](https://github.com/keyboardio/Chrysalis), a graphical configurator for Kaleidoscope-powered keyboards. Available as [programs.chrysalis](#opt-programs.chrysalis.enable).

- [Pi-hole](https://pi-hole.net/), a DNS sinkhole for advertisements based on Dnsmasq. Available as [services.pihole-ftl](#opt-services.pihole-ftl.enable), and [services.pihole-web](#opt-services.pihole-web.enable) for the web GUI and API.

- [FileBrowser](https://filebrowser.org/), a web application for managing and sharing files. Available as [services.filebrowser](#opt-services.filebrowser.enable).

- [LACT](https://github.com/ilya-zlobintsev/LACT), a GPU monitoring and configuration tool, can now be enabled through [services.lact.enable](#opt-services.lact.enable).
  Note that for LACT to work properly on AMD GPU systems, you need to enable [hardware.amdgpu.overdrive.enable](#opt-hardware.amdgpu.overdrive.enable).

- [Broadcast Box](https://github.com/Glimesh/broadcast-box), a WebRTC broadcast server. Available as [services.broadcast-box](options.html#opt-services.broadcast-box.enable).

- [Draupnir](https://github.com/the-draupnir-project/draupnir), a Matrix moderation bot. Available as [services.draupnir](#opt-services.draupnir.enable).

- [SuiteNumérique Docs](https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs), a collaborative note taking, wiki and documentation web platform and alternative to Notion or Outline. Available as [services.lasuite-docs](#opt-services.lasuite-docs.enable).

## Backward Incompatibilities {#sec-release-25.11-incompatibilities}

<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->

- The `services.polipo` module has been removed as `polipo` is unmaintained and archived upstream.

- The Pocket ID module ([`services.pocket-id`][#opt-services.pocket-id.enable]) and package (`pocket-id`) has been updated to 1.0.0. Some environment variables have been changed or removed, see the [migration guide](https://pocket-id.org/docs/setup/migrate-to-v1/).

- `renovate` was updated to v40. See the [upstream release notes](https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/releases/tag/40.0.0) for breaking changes.

## Other Notable Changes {#sec-release-25.11-notable-changes}

<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->

- `services.clamsmtp` is unmaintained and was removed from Nixpkgs.

- `amdgpu` kernel driver overdrive mode can now be enabled by setting [hardware.amdgpu.overdrive.enable](#opt-hardware.amdgpu.overdrive.enable) and customized through [hardware.amdgpu.overdrive.ppfeaturemask](#opt-hardware.amdgpu.overdrive.ppfeaturemask).
  This allows for fine-grained control over the GPU's performance and maybe required by overclocking softwares like Corectrl and Lact. These new options replace old options such as {option}`programs.corectrl.gpuOverclock.enable` and {option}`programs.tuxclocker.enableAMD`.
