+- `nodejs-slim` has a `npm` and a `corepack` outputs, and `nodejs` no longer has a `libv8` output.
 
 - All Xfce packages have been moved to top level (e.g. if you previously added `pkgs.xfce.xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin` to `environment.systemPackages`, you will need to change it to `pkgs.xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin`). The `xfce` scope will be removed in NixOS 26.11.
