- Greetd and its original greeters (`tuigreet`, `gtkgreet`, `qtgreet`, `regreet`, `wlgreet`) were moved from `greetd` namespace to top level (`greetd.tuigreet` -> `tuigreet`, `greetd.greetd` -> `greetd`, etc). The original attrs are available for compatibility as passthrus of `greetd`, but will emit a warning. They will be removed in future releases.

- The `archipelago-minecraft` package was removed, as upstream no longer provides support for the Minecraft APWorld.

- `navidrome` 0.58.0 introduces [multi-library support](https://www.navidrome.org/docs/usage/multi-library/)
    and backwards incompatible database migrations. Ensure backups are valid and run a Full Scan after
    starting the new version.

- `tooling-language-server` has been renamed to `deputy` (both the package and binary), following the rename of the upstream project.

- `fetchtorrent`, when using the "rqbit" backend, erroneously started fetching files into a subdirectory in Nixpkgs 24.11.  The original behaviour – which matches the behaviour using the "transmission" backend – has now been restored.  Users reliant on the erroneous behaviour can temporarily maintain it by adding `flatten = false` to the `fetchtorrent` arguments; Nix will produce an evaluation warning for anyone using `backend = "rqbit"` without `flatten = true`.

- `linux` and all other Linux kernel packages have moved all in-tree kernel modules into a new `modules` output.

- `webfontkitgenerator` has been renamed to `webfont-bundler`, following the rename of the upstream project.
  The binary name remains `webfontkitgenerator`.
  The `webfontkitgenerator` package is an alias to `webfont-bundler`.

- `python3Packages.triton` no longer takes an `enableRocm` argument and supports ROCm in all build configurations via runtime binding. In most cases no action will be needed. If triton is unable to find the HIP SDK add `rocmPackages.clr` as a build input or set the environment variable `HIP_PATH="${rocmPackages.clr}"`.

- `floorp` has been replaced with a binary build, available as `floorp-bin`. Due to major changes in the upstream project structure and build system, building Floorp from source has become unfeasible. No configuration or state migration is necessary.

- `inspircd` has been updated to the v4 release series. Please refer to the upstream documentation for [general information](https://docs.inspircd.org/4/overview/#v4-overview) and a list of [breaking changes](https://docs.inspircd.org/4/breaking-changes/).

- `lima` package now only includes the guest agent for the host's architecture by default. If your guest VM's architecture differs from your Lima host's, you'll need to enable the `lima-additional-guestagents` package by setting `withAdditionalGuestAgents = true` when overriding lima with this input.

- `mongodb-6_0` was removed as it is end of life as of 2025-07-31.

- CUDA versions below 12.6 have been removed, as they are unmaintained upstream and depend on end‐of‐life compilers.

- `vmware-horizon-client` was renamed to `omnissa-horizon-client`, following [VMware's sale of their end-user business to Omnissa](https://www.omnissa.com/insights/introducing-omnissa-the-former-vmware-end-user-computing-business/). The binary has been renamed from `vmware-view` to `horizon-client`.

- `neovimUtils.makeNeovimConfig` now uses `customLuaRC` parameter instead of accepting `luaRcContent`. The old usage is deprecated but still works with a warning.

- `telegram-desktop` packages now uses `Telegram` for its binary. The previous name was `telegram-desktop`. This is due to [an upstream decision](https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/commit/56ff5808a3d766f892bc3c3305afb106b629ef6f) to make the name consistent with other platforms.

- `podofo` has been updated from `0.9.8` to `1.0.0`. These releases are by nature very incompatible due to major API changes. The legacy versions can be found under `podofo_0_10` and `podofo_0_9`.
  Changelog: https://github.com/podofo/podofo/blob/1.0.0/CHANGELOG.md, API-Migration-Guide: https://github.com/podofo/podofo/blob/1.0.0/API-MIGRATION.md.
Title: Nixpkgs: Package Updates, Renames, and Breaking Changes
Summary
This section outlines recent Nixpkgs updates, encompassing package renames, removals, and breaking changes. Notable renames include `tooling-language-server` to `deputy`, `webfontkitgenerator` to `webfont-bundler`, `vmware-horizon-client` to `omnissa-horizon-client`, and the `telegram-desktop` binary to `Telegram`. `Greetd` greeters moved to top-level attributes, deprecating old paths. Removed packages include `archipelago-minecraft`, `mongodb-6_0`, and CUDA versions below 12.6. Breaking changes affect `navidrome` 0.58.0 (database migrations), `inspircd` v4, and `podofo` 1.0.0 (major API changes; legacy versions provided). Linux kernel packages now output modules to a dedicated `modules` path. Other updates: `fetchtorrent` `rqbit` backend fix, `python3Packages.triton` ROCm support via runtime binding, `floorp` moving to `floorp-bin` (binary build), `lima` defaulting to host architecture guest agents, and `neovimUtils.makeNeovimConfig` deprecating `luaRcContent` for `customLuaRC`.
