Nixpkgs 25.11 ("Xantusia", 2025.11/??)

Highlights

• The initial work to support native compilation on LoongArch64 has completed, with further changes currently in preparation. In accordance with the Software Development and Build Convention for LoongArch Architectures, this release sets the default march level to la64v1.0, covering the desktop and server processors of 3X5000 and newer series. However, embedded chips without LSX (Loongson SIMD eXtension), such as 2K0300 SoC, are not supported. pkgsCross.loongarch64-linux-embedded can be used to build software and systems for these platforms.

Backward Incompatibilities

• The offrss package was removed due to lack of upstream maintenance since 2012. It's recommended for users to migrate to another RSS reader

• base16-builder node package has been removed due to lack of upstream maintenance.
