- The default GHC version has been updated from 9.8 to 9.10.
`haskellPackages` correspondingly uses Stackage LTS 24 (instead of LTS 23) as a baseline.
- Darwin has switched to using the system libc++. This was done for improved compatibility and to avoid ODR violations.
If a newer C++ library feature is not available on the default deployment target, you will need to increase the deployment target.
See the Darwin platform documentation for more details.
- **This release of Nixpkgs requires macOS Sonoma 14.0 or newer, as announced in the 25.05 release notes.**
The default SDK is now 14.4, but the minimum version is 14.0.
cc-wrapper will enforce that availability annotations are used or an appropriate deployment target is set.
See the Darwin platform notes for details.
- **We expect to drop support for `x86_64-darwin` by Nixpkgs 26.11,** in light of Apple’s announcement that macOS 26 will be the final version to support Intel Macs.
When support is fully removed, we will no longer build packages for the platform or guarantee that it can build at all.
This may happen in stages, depending on our available build and maintenance resources and decisions made by projects we rely on.
By the time of 26.11’s release, Homebrew will offer only limited [Tier 3](https://docs.brew.sh/Support-Tiers#tier-3) support for the platform, but MacPorts will likely continue to support it for a long time.
We also recommend users consider installing NixOS, which should continue to run on essentially all Intel Macs, especially after Apple stops security support for macOS 26 in 2028.

- LLVM has been updated from 19 to 21.
