## Highlights {#sec-release-22.11-highlights}
In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release has the following highlights:
2022-04-28 14:52:25 +00:00
- During cross-compilation, tests are now executed if the test suite can be executed
by the build platform. This is the case when doing “native” cross-compilation
where the build and host platforms are largely the same, but the nixpkgs' cross
compilation infrastructure is used, e.g. `pkgsStatic` and `pkgsLLVM` . Another
possibility is that the build platform is a superset of the host platform, e.g. when
cross-compiling from `x86_64-unknown-linux` to `i686-unknown-linux` .
The predicate gating test suite execution is the newly added `canExecute`
predicate: You can e.g. check if `stdenv.buildPlatform` can execute binaries
built for `stdenv.hostPlatform` (i.e. produced by `stdenv.cc` ) by evaluating
`stdenv.buildPlatform.canExecute stdenv.hostPlatform` .

- PHP now defaults to PHP 8.1, updated from 8.0.

## New Services {#sec-release-22.11-new-services}
2022-05-20 12:21:27 +00:00
- [appvm ](https://github.com/jollheef/appvm ), Nix based app VMs. Available as [virtualisation.appvm ](options.html#opt-virtualisation.appvm.enable ).
2022-05-23 19:13:37 +00:00
2022-05-06 07:22:46 +00:00
- [infnoise ](https://github.com/leetronics/infnoise ), a hardware True Random Number Generator dongle.
Available as [services.infnoise ](options.html#opt-services.infnoise.enable ).

## Backward Incompatibilities {#sec-release-22.11-incompatibilities}
2022-04-28 14:52:25 +00:00
- The `isCompatible` predicate checking CPU compatibility is no longer exposed
by the platform sets generated using `lib.systems.elaborate` . In most cases
you will want to use the new `canExecute` predicate instead which also
considers the kernel / syscall interface. It is briefly described in the
release's [highlights section ](#sec-release-22.11-highlights ).
`lib.systems.parse.isCompatible` still exists, but has changed semantically:
Architectures with differing endianness modes are *no longer considered compatible* .
2022-04-10 08:59:20 +00:00
- The `isPowerPC` predicate, found on `platform` attrsets (`hostPlatform`, `buildPlatform` , `targetPlatform` , etc) has been removed in order to reduce confusion. The predicate was was defined such that it matches only the 32-bit big-endian members of the POWER/PowerPC family, despite having a name which would imply a broader set of systems. If you were using this predicate, you can replace `foo.isPowerPC` with `(with foo; isPower && is32bit && isBigEndian)` .

## Other Notable Changes {#sec-release-22.11-notable-changes}
2022-06-03 03:53:59 +00:00
- A new module was added for the Saleae Logic device family, providing the options `hardware.saleae-logic.enable` and `hardware.saleae-logic.package` .
- Matrix Synapse now requires entries in the `state_group_edges` table to be unique, in order to prevent accidentally introducing duplicate information (for example, because a database backup was restored multiple times). If your Synapse database already has duplicate rows in this table, this could fail with an error and require manual remediation.
