# Release 25.05 {#sec-release-25.05}
The 25.05 release branch became stable in May, 2025.
## Highlights {#sec-release-25.05-highlights}
This release has the following notable changes:
- The [](#opt-systemd.user.startServices) option now defaults to
`true`, meaning that services will automatically be restarted as
needed when activating a configuration.
Further, the `"legacy"` alternative has been removed and will now
result in an evaluation error if used.
The `"suggest"` alternative will remain for a while longer but may
also be deprecated for removal in the future.
- The Home Manager test suite has been removed from the main Nix Flake
since it caused unnecessary evaluations and downloads. Instead the
tests are available through a Nix Flake file inside the `tests`
directory. See [](#sec-tests) for example commands.
## State Version Changes {#sec-release-25.05-state-version-changes}
The state version in this release includes the changes below. These
changes are only active if the `home.stateVersion` option is set to
\"25.05\" or later.
- The [](#opt-programs.git.signing.format) option no longer defaults to
`"openpgp"`. Users who use Git signing with GPG should explicitly set
this option to `"openpgp"` to maintain the previous behavior. Users
with `home.stateVersion` set to earlier versions will continue to get
the `"openpgp"` default for backwards compatibility.
