Request NixOS 26.05 support

[hakula139]

Problem

First off, thank you for maintaining NixOS-WSL. It makes running NixOS under WSL much easier, and the release branches and artifacts are especially helpful for users who follow stable NixOS releases.

NixOS 26.05 "Yarara" was released on 2026-05-30: https://nixos.org/blog/announcements/2026/nixos-2605/

NixOS-WSL currently appears to have release branches and release artifacts through 25.11, with the latest release being 2511.7.1. Users who want to follow the current stable NixOS release do not yet have an obvious release-26.05 branch or matching .wsl release artifact to use.

This is especially relevant because 25.11 is now in its deprecation window and reaches end of life on 2026-06-30, according to the 26.05 announcement.

Solution

Could NixOS-WSL add NixOS 26.05 support when the maintainers have bandwidth?

It would be helpful to have a release-26.05 branch, a matching .wsl release artifact, and updated docs or release notes for channel and flake users. If there are known blockers for 26.05, documenting those would also help users decide whether to stay on 25.11 for now.

I just created the release-26.05 branch and a release.

Thanks @mdaniels5757
I had planned on doing the release myself, but the drive in my dev machine died and I didn't have the time to get everything set up properly again since then
