10. By Alberto Milone on 2009-01-29

* New upstream release. Supports the new X.org ABI (LP: #308410)
  * Fixed a problem that caused TV output on secondary TVs to be black and
    white on some GPUs.
  * Added the ability to run distribution provided pre- and post- installation
    hooks to 'nvidia-installer'; please see the 'nvidia-installer' manual page
    for details.
  * Fixed a problem that prevented X from starting on 2.6.29-rc1 with an error
    like the following:
    X:6500 map pfn expected mapping type write-combining for d0000000-d0500000,
    got uncached-minus
  * Fixed a server crash triggered by Kopete's new message popup when a composite
    manager is enabled.
  * Fixed a problem that caused nvidia-installer to remove Compiz's libglx.so.
  * Added "nvidia-uninstall" as a shortcut for "nvidia-installer --uninstall".
  * Improved compatibility with newer kernels.
* debian/nvidia-glx-71.preinst:
  - Correct typo in the removal of diversions of /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so
* debian/nvidia-glx-71.postrm.in
  - Do not remove libGL.so (LP: #309116)
* debian/nvidia-glx-71-dev.preinst.in:
  - Add diversion on /usr/lib/libGL.so since (the postrm tries to remove it already)
* debian/control.in: Make it conflict with driver 180
* Make it easier to add the support for new flavours in nvidia-glx-VER.preinst
* Switch to DKMS patching system (in debian/rules) so as to have different
  patches for different kernel versions
* Drop ubuntu-71xx.patch since the driver is now compatible with the current kernel
* Test the existence of the dkms folder in nvidia-71-kernel-source.postinst
* Fix (LP: #262027) Make sure to remove (in nvidia-71-kernel-source.postinst)
  any directory which was not removed because of bug 261816
* Fix (LP: #261816) Replace "remove" with "remove|upgrade" in the case loop
  in nvidia-71-kernel-source.prerm so that older versions of the drivers are
  removed in case of upgrade
* Add diversions on /usr/lib/libGL.so.1, /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2,
  /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so without checking their existence in
  Ubuntu 32 bit too (LP: #287470)
* debian/scriptremove.sh:
  - Remove from source.

Fix (LP: #254969) Make nvidia-glx-71 conflict with xorg-driver-fglrx

8. By Alberto Milone on 2008-08-20

* Fix (LP: #254444) Remove pound from link in nvidia-glx-71-dev.links.in
* Fix (LP: #259105) Add missing link to usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.#VERSION# in
  usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so

7. By Alberto Milone on 2008-08-09

* Make sure that the installers are executable in the debian/rules
* Don't test the existence of libGL.so, libGL.so.1, libGL.so.1.2 in /usr/lib32
  when adding a diversion on them in the preinst. This will make sure that NVIDIA's
  libGL.so.xx will win against the one in ia32-libs [amd64]
* Remove diversions of libGL.so in the preinst added by nvidia-glx-VER and add
  a new diversion of the file to /usr/lib32/nvidia/libGL.so.xlibmesa [amd64]
* Remove diversion of libGL.so in the postrm.in [amd64]
* Remove dependency on ia32-libs [amd64]

6. By Alberto Milone on 2008-07-17

Make sure that no file is installed to /etc/default

5. By Alberto Milone on 2008-07-13

* Fix (LP: #247984) Add dependency on ia32-libs for amd64
* Add the name of the package to the modalias list

4. By Alberto Milone on 2008-07-11

Fix (LP: #247527) depend on linux-headers-generic | linux-headers rather
than on linux-headers

3. By Alberto Milone on 2008-07-10

* Remove reference to the init file from -dev.postinst
* Don't copy kernel.o.x86_64 to nvidia-kernel-source manually

2. By Alberto Milone on 2008-07-08

* Recommends nvidia-settings instead of Suggests nvidia-settings
* Put the icon for nvidia-settings in /usr/share/pixmaps
