- `services.openssh.settings.AcceptEnv` now explicitly defined as an option that takes a list of strings, to facilitate option merging. Setting it to a string value is no longer supported.

- `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.

- `spacefm` was removed because it appeared to be unmaintained upstream.

- The `nodejs_latest` alias now points to `nodejs_25` instead of `nodejs_24`.

- `nodejs-slim` no longer exposes a `corepack` executable, it has been moved to an ad-hoc output; to restore the previous behavior, `nodejs-slim.corepack` must be explicitely included.

- `nodejs` is now a simple wrapper for `nodejs-slim`+`nodejs-slim.npm`+`nodejs-slim.corepack`, meaning it is no longer possible to reference or override its attributes or outputs (e.g. `nodejs.libv8` must be replaced with `nodejs-slim.libv8`, `nodejs.nativeBuildInputs` with `nodejs-slim.nativeBuildInputs`, etc.).

- `mold` is now wrapped by default.

- `neovim` now disables by default the `python3` and `ruby` providers, unused by most users and reducing closure size from 365MiB to 240MiB.
