* debian/nvidia-$flavour.{dirs|postinst}.in, rules:
  - Install the blacklist file in /lib/nvidia-$flavour instead
    of /usr/lib/nvidia-$flavour so that the file is available
    early in the boot process when /usr is on a different
    partition (LP: #538071).
  - Ignore errors when trying to update the initramfs
    with -k $CURRENT_KERNEL which is known to fail when
    using chroots (LP: #556653).

* New upstream release:
  - Fixed a bug that caused the X server to crash when rendering
    occurred while the X server was not on the active VT.
  - Fixed a regression that caused the driver to fail to properly
    adjust the GPU fan speed on some GPUs.
  - Fixed a bug that prevented performance level transitions on
    recent GPUs with SDDR3 and GDDR5 memory.
* debian/nvidia-$flavour.{postinst|prerm}.in:
  - Call gmenucache trigger so that the icon of nvidia-settings
    shows up in the menu (LP: #522969).
* debian/nvidia-current.links{32}.in:
  - Add link to libOpenCL.so in /usr/lib and in /usr/lib32.

* New upstream release:
  - Added support for the following GPUs:
    o Quadro FX 880M
    o GeForce GTS 350M
    o GeForce GTS 360M
  - Fixed a bug that caused screen corruption after an application
    released a GLX_NV_present_video device.
  - Fixed brightness control hotkeys on some laptops.
  - Fixed a bug that caused G-Sync stereo synchronization to fail
    sometimes when enabling frame lock.
  - Fixed a bug that caused OpenGL applications to occasionally crash
    with "double free or corruption" messages when exiting.
  - On GPUs with VDPAU feature set A, enhanced VDPAU's handling of
    some corrupted or incorrectly formatted MPEG-1/2 streams. This
    solves a reported issue with "0testbad.mpg".
  - Fixed a bug in the VDPAU video mixer that caused chroma
    aberrations, and corruption in the right-hand few columns of
    pixels, when post-processing video surfaces with widths not an
    exact multiple of 4 pixels.
  - Fixed a bug that prevented the GPUFanControlState attribute from
    being set on the nvidia-settings command line.

* New upstream release:
  - Fixed a regression that made the "TVStandard" X
    configuration option cause system hangs with products
    from the GeForce 6 and 7 series.
  - Worked around a bug in some AUO laptop flat panels
    where the native mode in the EDID is invalid, leading to
    a 640x480 desktop repeated six times across the screen.
  - Increased the maximum number of slices supported by VDPAU
    for MPEG-2 streams, in order to cope with the region 1
    DVD "A Christmas Story".
  - Added unofficial preliminary support for xorg-server
    video driver ABI version 7, including xorg-server-1.7.99.2.
  - Fix the soname of libvdpau_nvidia.so.1 and
    libvdpau_trace.so.1 to match their filenames.

* debian/rules:
  - Blacklist lbm-nouveau.

14. By Alberto Milone on 2010-02-04

* debian/rules:
  - Use the real name of the kernel module in the modalias
    file instead of the alias.

13. By Alberto Milone on 2010-02-03

* debian/nvidia-current.postinst.in:
  - Pass -u to update-initramfs in addition to -k.

12. By Alberto Milone on 2010-02-03

* debian/postinst.in:
  - Update initramfs for the current kernel instead of
    echoing the action.
