+## 2025-01-20
+
+This release updates nixpkgs. **NixOS 24.11 users must stay on the previous
+release.**
+
+Thanks to the hard work of upstream nixpkgs and Mesa (K900 in particular), the
+Mesa graphics support has been revamped to be easier and faster, see commits
+for details. The `hardware.asahi.experimentalGPUInstallMode` option no longer
+does anything and will be deprecated and removed in future releases.
+
+This fixes graphics issues with nixpkgs unstable. The Wi-Fi issue also appears
+fixed.
