Upstream Changes: * Wi-Fi Easy Connect - add support for DPP release 3 - allow Configurator parameters to be provided during config exchange * MACsec - add support for GCM-AES-256 cipher suite - remove incorrect EAP Session-Id length constraint - add hardware offload support for additional drivers * HE/IEEE 802.11ax/Wi-Fi 6 - support BSS color updates - various fixes * EHT/IEEE 802.11be/Wi-Fi 7 - add preliminary support * support OpenSSL 3.0 API changes * improve EAP-TLS support for TLSv1.3 * EAP-SIM/AKA: support IMSI privacy * improve mitigation against DoS attacks when PMF is used * improve 4-way handshake operations - discard unencrypted EAPOL frames in additional cases - use Secure=1 in message 2 during PTK rekeying * OCV: do not check Frequency Segment 1 Channel Number for 160 MHz cases to avoid interoperability issues * support new SAE AKM suites with variable length keys * support new AKM for 802.1X/EAP with SHA384 * improve cross-AKM roaming with driver-based SME/BSS selection * PASN - extend support for secure ranging - allow PASN implementation to be used with external programs for Wi-Fi Aware * FT: Use SHA256 to derive PMKID for AKM 00-0F-AC:3 (FT-EAP) - this is based on additional details being added in the IEEE 802.11 standard - the new implementation is not backwards compatible, but PMKSA caching with FT-EAP was, and still is, disabled by default * support a pregenerated MAC (mac_addr=3) as an alternative mechanism for using per-network random MAC addresses * EAP-PEAP: require Phase 2 authentication by default (phase2_auth=1) to improve security for still unfortunately common invalid configurations that do not set ca_cert * extend SCS support for QoS Characteristics * extend MSCS support * support unsynchronized service discovery (USD) * add support for explicit SSID protection in 4-way handshake (a mitigation for CVE-2023-52424; disabled by default for now, can be enabled with ssid_protection=1) - in addition, verify SSID after key setup when beacon protection is used * fix SAE H2E rejected groups validation to avoid downgrade attacks * a large number of other fixes, cleanup, and extensions Changelog: http://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/tree/wpa_supplicant/ChangeLog?id=d945ddd368085f255e68328f2d3b020ceea359af Signed-off-by: Markus Theil <theil.markus@gmail.com>
Nixpkgs is a collection of over 100,000 software packages that can be installed with the Nix package manager. It also implements NixOS, a purely-functional Linux distribution.

Other Project Repositories
The sources of all official Nix-related projects are in the NixOS organization on GitHub. Here are some of the main ones:
- Nix - the purely functional package manager
- NixOps - the tool to remotely deploy NixOS machines
- nixos-hardware - NixOS profiles to optimize settings for different hardware
- Nix RFCs - the formal process for making substantial changes to the community
- NixOS homepage - the NixOS.org website
- hydra - our continuous integration system
- NixOS Artwork - NixOS artwork
Continuous Integration and Distribution
Nixpkgs and NixOS are built and tested by our continuous integration system, Hydra.
- Continuous package builds for unstable/master
- Continuous package builds for the NixOS 24.05 release
- Tests for unstable/master
- Tests for the NixOS 24.05 release
Artifacts successfully built with Hydra are published to cache at https://cache.nixos.org/. When successful build and test criteria are met, the Nixpkgs expressions are distributed via Nix channels.
Contributing
Nixpkgs is among the most active projects on GitHub. While thousands of open issues and pull requests might seem a lot at first, it helps consider it in the context of the scope of the project. Nixpkgs describes how to build tens of thousands of pieces of software and implements a Linux distribution. The GitHub Insights page gives a sense of the project activity.
Community contributions are always welcome through GitHub Issues and Pull Requests.
For more information about contributing to the project, please visit the contributing page.
Donations
The infrastructure for NixOS and related projects is maintained by a nonprofit organization, the NixOS Foundation. To ensure the continuity and expansion of the NixOS infrastructure, we are looking for donations to our organization.
You can donate to the NixOS foundation through SEPA bank transfers or by using Open Collective:
