| 2025-10-06 | README: update NixOS logo | Daniel Baker | |

| 2025-08-06 | README.md: use SVG for nixos-white, as done with nixos | yunfachi | |

| 2025-05-23 | README.md: fix NixOS logo | Raphael Borun Das Gupta | |
| (default and light theme) https://nixos.org/logo/nixos-hires.png gives a "Not found" error and https://nixos.org itself uses an (inline) SVG, so let's go for the default logo SVG from nixos-artwork. | |||
| 2025-04-17 | README: sync package count with https://search.nixos.org/packages | Yohann Boniface | |

| 2025-02-04 | README: Updated dead link for nix channel manual (#379247) | Manse | |
| * README: Updated dead link for nix channel The old link from the manual lead to a dead page. The new link leads to the nix-channel command on the manual. However it would also be reasonable for it to lead to the wiki[1] entry on nix channels, or on the channels section of the FAQ[2], however the ladder option already leads to the nix-channel command manual entry "for more information".

| There’s two different ways of viewing rendered versions of the Markdown files in this repo. You can either 1. view them on GitHub or 2. clone the repo and open them using a program like Okular [1]. Before this change, option 2 was a little bit inconvenient. When you clicked on either of the links to CONTRIBUTING.md, it would take you to GitHub instead of opening up the Markdown file locally.
