nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (180.27-0ubuntu1) jaunty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release. Supports the new X.org ABI (LP: #308410, #322416)
    * Added support for the following GPUs:
       o GeForce GTX 295
       o GeForce GTX 285
       o GeForce 9300 GE
       o Quadro NVS 420
    * Fixed a bug that caused VDPAU to display a green screen when using the
      overlay-based presentation queue with interlaced modes.
    * Fixed a bug that prevented VDPAU from working correctly after X server
      restarts on some GPUs.
    * Improved VDPAU's handling of mode switches; eliminated a crash in its
      mode switch recovery code and a hang in the blit-based presentation queue.
    * Fixed a bug that caused VDPAU to crash when using DisplayPort devices.
    * Fixed a potential hang in VDPAU when using the blit-based presentation
      queue on systems with multiple GPUs not in SLI mode.
    * Implemented missing error checking of layer data in VDPAU's VdpVideoMixerRender
      function.
    * Improved VDPAU's handling of setups with multiple GPUs, if a subset of the
      GPUs cannot be supported due to resource limitations.
    * Improved GPU video memory management coordination between the NVIDIA X driver
      and VDPAU.
    * Fix potential hang in VDPAU when the overlay is already in use.
    * Improved workstation OpenGL performance.
    * Fixed an X driver acceleration bug that resulted in Xid errors on GeForce 6 and
      7 series GPUs.
    * Updated the X driver to consider GPUs it does not recognize supported, allowing
      it to drive some GPUs it previously ignored.
    * Added the ability to run distribution provided pre- and post- installation hooks
      to 'nvidia-installer'; please see the 'nvidia-installer' manual page for details.
    * Updated the X driver's metamode parser to allow mode names with periods (i.e. '.'s).
    * Fixed a problem with hotkey switching on some recent mobile GPUs.
    * worked around a power management regression in and improved compatibility with
      recent Linux 2.6 kernels.
    * Added support for OpenGL 3.0 for GeForce 8 series and newer GPUs.
  * debian/nvidia-glx-180.preinst:
    - Correct typo in the removal of diversions of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
  * debian/nvidia-glx-180.postrm.in
    - Do not remove libGL.so (LP: #309116)
  * debian/nvidia-glx-180-dev.preinst.in:
    - Add diversion on /usr/lib/libGL.so since (the postrm tries to remove it already)
  * debian/scriptremove.sh:
    - Remove from source.
