# Changelog: macOS Tahoe, lazy trees, and docs in Determinate Nix 3.6.6

**[Determinate Systems](https://daily.dev/sources/determinate-systems)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Determinate Nix 3.6.6 has been released, based on upstream Nix 2.29.0. Key highlights include confirmed compatibility with macOS Tahoe beta, performance and reliability improvements to lazy trees (which have delivered 5x CI speedups for some users), and improved input caching that cuts CI times from over two minutes to under 20 seconds. The release also fixes a NixOS-specific bug in `determinate-nixd status` netrc-file checking, adds a sensible error message for misconfigured sandbox paths, and improves macOS upgrade support for systems using `nix profile`.
