# Release 24.05 (“Uakari”, 2024.05/??) {#sec-release-24.05}
Support is planned until the end of December 2024, handing over to 24.11.
## Highlights {#sec-release-24.05-highlights}
In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release has the following highlights:
<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->
- `screen`'s module has been cleaned, and will now require you to set `programs.screen.enable` in order to populate `screenrc` and add the program to the environment.
## New Services {#sec-release-24.05-new-services}
<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->
- [Guix](https://guix.gnu.org), a functional package manager inspired by Nix. Available as [services.guix](#opt-services.guix.enable).
- [maubot](https://github.com/maubot/maubot), a plugin-based Matrix bot framework. Available as [services.maubot](#opt-services.maubot.enable).
- [Anki Sync Server](https://docs.ankiweb.net/sync-server.html), the official sync server built into recent versions of Anki. Available as [services.anki-sync-server](#opt-services.anki-sync-server.enable).
The pre-existing [services.ankisyncd](#opt-services.ankisyncd.enable) has been marked deprecated and will be dropped after 24.05 due to lack of maintenance of the anki-sync-server softwares.
- [Clevis](https://github.com/latchset/clevis), a pluggable framework for automated decryption, used to unlock encrypted devices in initrd. Available as [boot.initrd.clevis.enable](#opt-boot.initrd.clevis.enable).
## Backward Incompatibilities {#sec-release-24.05-incompatibilities}
<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->
- `mkosi` was updated to v19. Parts of the user interface have changed. Consult the
[release notes](https://github.com/systemd/mkosi/releases/tag/v19) for a list of changes.
## Other Notable Changes {#sec-release-24.05-notable-changes}
<!-- To avoid merge conflicts, consider adding your item at an arbitrary place in the list instead. -->
- `addDriverRunpath` has been added to facilitate the deprecation of the old `addOpenGLRunpath` setuphook. This change is motivated by the evolution of the setuphook to include all hardware acceleration.
- Cinnamon has been updated to 6.0. Please beware that the [Wayland session](https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=4591) is still experimental in this release.
- Programs written in [Nim](https://nim-lang.org/) are built with libraries selected by lockfiles.
The `nimPackages` and `nim2Packages` sets have been removed.
See https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/unstable#nim for more information.
- The Yama LSM is now enabled by default in the kernel, which prevents ptracing
non-child processes. This means you will not be able to attach gdb to an
existing process, but will need to start that process from gdb (so it is a
child). Or you can set `boot.kernel.sysctl."kernel.yama.ptrace_scope"` to 0.
- Gitea 1.21 upgrade has several breaking changes, including:
- Custom themes and other assets that were previously stored in `custom/public/*` now belong in `custom/public/assets/*`
- New instances of Gitea using MySQL now ignore the `[database].CHARSET` config option and always use the `utf8mb4` charset, existing instances should migrate via the `gitea doctor convert` CLI command.
- The `hardware.pulseaudio` module now sets permission of pulse user home directory to 755 when running in "systemWide" mode. It fixes [issue 114399](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/114399).
