* New upstream release (LP #1259237):
  - Add support for X.org xserver ABI 15 (xorg-server 1.15).
* debian/rules:
  - Make it possible to set the xserver ABIs in debian/substvars.
  - Add the download-sources target.
  - Update the modules blacklist.
* debian/substvars:
  - Add support for xserver-xorg-core-lts-quantal,
    xserver-xorg-core-lts-raring, xserver-xorg-core-lts-saucy,
    xorg-video-abi-14, xorg-video-abi-15.
* debian/control.in:
  - Drop dependency on the Linux headers.
  - Add ${misc:Depends}.
  - Add transitional packages for nvidia-173-updates. There is
    no point in keeping the -updates flavour at this point.
  - Recommend nvidia-settings >= 331.20.
* debian/nvidia-173.dirs.in, debian/nvidia-173.install.in,
  debian/nvidia-173.override.in, debian/nvidia-173.postinst.in,
  debian/nvidia-autostart.desktop.in,
  debian/ubuntu-nvidia-settings.desktop.in:
  - Remove nvidia-settings icon, desktop file, and autostart file.
    This is all provided by nvidia-settings now.
* debian/nvidia-173.prerm.in,
  debian/nvidia-173.install.in,
  debian/nvidia-173.postinst.in:
  - Disable glamoregl.
  - Do not update gmenucache any more.

* New upstream release:
  - Added support for xserver 1.11.99.901 (also known
    as 1.12 RC1).
  - Added support for X.Org xserver 1.11 (LP: #948053).
  - Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
  - Fixed a bug that caused libglx.so to fail to load
    on 32-bit X servers.
* debian/control.in:
  - Bump build dependency on debhelper.
* debian/dkms.conf.in:
  - Don't apply any patches.
* debian/rules:
  - Re-enable automatic ABI detection.

Oops! This driver does not actually support Xserver 1.11. Rebuild,
manually specifying video ABI 10. This will prevent Jockey from
automatically installing it.

50. By Chris Halse Rogers on 2012-01-19

Rebuild against Xserver 1.11 to pick up new dependencies.

[ Daniel van Vugt ]
* debian/dkms.conf{.in}:
  - Fix failure to install with kernel 3.2 (LP: #576648).
  - Drop non-functional OBSOLETE_BY variable.

[ Alberto Milone ]
* debian/nvidia-$flavour.prerm.in:
  - Use the right path to remove the alternative for the
    other architecture (LP: #915461).

48. By Alberto Milone on 2011-10-10

Re-enable grub fb and drop the initramfs hook in favour of
"alias nouveau/lbm_nouveau off" (LP: #864149).

47. By Alberto Milone on 2011-09-30

* debian/rules:
  - Make sure that the module alias is always correct and
    uses underscores instead of hyphens (LP: #855396).
  - Make the grub-gfxpayload file a template and blacklist
    all Nvidia cards so that Grub doesn't set a framebuffer
    which prevents recovery mode from working (LP: #854967).

46. By Alberto Milone on 2011-09-07

* debian/rules:
  - Remove trailing spaces.
  - Blacklist the updates flavours in modprobe.conf.
  - Add an initramfs hook to make sure that nothings else loads
    open graphics drivers in the initramfs (LP: #839524).

45. By Alberto Milone on 2011-08-30

* debian/nvidia-173.postinst{.in}:
  - Make sure to create and use X.Org's multiarch extra modules
    path (LP: #807209).
  - Share the same name for grub's blacklist file for all
    drivers.
* debian/rules:
  - Fix issues with pbuild.
  - Do not provide the X abi any longer. Depending on the ABI is
    enough.

44. By Alberto Milone on 2011-06-27

Use an empty ld.so.conf when installing alternative for the
non-native arch, otherwise it would be impossible to switch
to mesa without installing mesa for the same architecture.
