This release contains the Nix version bump to 2.24.5, which includes a fix for the issue we mentioned in the release notes for https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/nix-installer/releases/tag/v0.23.0 (a regression in substituting store paths with many dependencies, NixOS/nix#11387).

This release has a couple important-to-note changes:

  • It changes the installed-by-default Nix version back to 2.23.3 due an observed regression in substitution. For more information, see the upstream bug report: NixOS/nix#11387.
  • All new macOS installations will now have a build GID of 350 and build UIDs that start at 351 (for nixbld1), in order to be robust against the upcoming macOS Sequoia update. Work is still in progress on implementing a migration helper for existing pre-Sequoia macOS installations; stay tuned for more information.

What's Changed

  • Move determinate-nixd to /usr/local/bin/determinate-nixd on Linux by @grahamc in #1120
  • Synchronize macOS UIDs and GIDs with upstream scripts to prepare for Sequoia by @cole-h in #1123
  • Update and unify limits across systemd and macOS. by @grahamc in #1126
  • Print the nix-installer version when it runs by @cole-h in #1127
  • Bring LimitNOFILE back down to 1024 * 1024 due to the performance impact of too many FDs by @grahamc in #1128
  • Update flake inputs, downgrade Nix to 2.23.3 due to curl issues by @grahamc in #1129
  • Update cargo deps by @cole-h in #1130
  • Release v0.23.0 by @cole-h in #1131

This patch release release improves macOS 15 beta fresh install support by handling the case where reading the current system version from SystemVersion.plist returns the compatibility version 10.16, instead of 15.0.

A huge thank you to @ratbag98 for their assistance in narrowing down the issue and testing out various approaches to resolve the problem!

  • Work around macOS compatibility SystemVersion.plist by @cole-h in #1046

This release includes one significant change to the installer's behavior: it now sets always-allow-substitutes = true by default in nix.conf. Beyond that, changes include some additional README documentation of CLI flags and environment variables, new testing suites for ARM64, and a standard round of Rust dependency updates.

This release includes a couple of improvements:

  1. On all targets, we bundle the default Nix version we install into the installer binary itself.
  2. On macOS, we give a better error message when a device policy would prevent mounting the internal Nix Store volume we want to create.
