[ Alberto Milone ]
* New upstream release:
  - Fixed a bug that caused the X server to crash if an OpenGL
    application tried to allocate a drawable when GPU-accessible
    memory is exhausted.
  - Fixed a bug that could cause an Xid error when terminating a
    video playback application using the overlay presentation queue
    in VDPAU.
  - Fixed a rare deadlock condition when running applications that
    use OpenGL in multiple threads on a Quadro GPU.
  - Fixed a kernel memory leak that occurred when looping hardware-
    accelerated video decoding with VDPAU on Maxwell-based GPUs.
  - Fixed a bug that caused the X server to crash if a RandR 1.4
    output provided by a SinkOutput provider was selected as the
    primary output on X.Org xserver 1.17 and higher.
  - Fixed a bug that caused waiting on X Sync Fence objects in
    OpenGL to hang indefinitely in some cases.
  - Fixed a bug that prevented OpenGL from properly recovering from
    hardware errors or sync object waits that had timed out.
* SECURITY UPDATE:
  - CVE-2015-5950 (LP: #1489391).

  - Build nvidia and nvidia-uvm together, as the latter
    build depends on the former (LP: #1431753).
  - Merge the -uvm package into the main nvidia driver
    package, and provide a transitional package for -uvm.
  - Make sure to remove all upstream dkms.conf files.
