Observations

Added support for the following GPUs:
GeForce GTX 750 Ti
GeForce GTX 750
GeForce GTX 745
GeForce GTX TITAN Black
Fixed a regression in the NVIDIA kernel module which caused it to improperly dereference a userspace pointer.
The regression did not affect NVIDIA GPU drivers before release 334.
Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL programs to hang after calling fork(2).
Added support for GPUs with VDPAU Feature Set E. See the README for details.
On GPUs with VDPAU Feature Set E, VDPAU now supports more robust decode error handling at the cost of a minor performance impact.
This can be disabled by setting the VDPAU_NVIDIA_DISABLE_ERROR_CONCEALMENT environment variable to 1.
Added support for application profile rule patterns which are logical operations of subpatterns. See the README for details.
Added support for a "findfile" application profile feature which allows the driver to apply profiles based on matching files in the same directory as the process executable. See the README for details.
Improved performance of OpenGL applications when used in conjunction with the X driver's composition pipeline. The composition pipeline may be explicitly enabled by using the ForceCompositionPipeline or ForceFullCompositionPipeline MetaMode options, or implicitly enabled when certain features such as some XRandR transformations, rotation,Warp & Blend, PRIME, and NvFBC are used.
Fixed a bug that could cause nvidia-settings to compute incorrect gamma ramps when adjusting the color correction sliders.
Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to allow the selection of display devices using RandR and target ID names when makingqueries targeted towards specific display devices.
Fixed a bug that prevented some dropdown menus in the nvidia-settings control panel from working correctly on olderversions of GTK+ (e.g. 2.10.x).
Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to provide help text for application profile keys and suggestions for valid key nameswhen configuring application profiles.
Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to populate the dropdown menu of stereo modes with only those modes which are available.
Fixed a bug that could cause applications using the OpenGL extension ARB_query_buffer_object to crash under Xinerama.
Fixed a bug that caused high pixelclock HDMI modes (e.g. as used with 4K resolutions) to be erroneously reported as dual-link inthe nvidia-settings control panel.
Fixed a bug that prevented some DisplayPort 1.2 displays from being properly restored after a VT switch.
Renamed per GPU proc directories in /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/ with GPU's bus location represented in "domain:bus:device.function" format.
Added 64-bit EGL and OpenGL ES libraries to 64-bit driver packages.
Changed format of "Bus Location" field reported in the
/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0..N/information files from "domain:bus.device.function" to "domain:bus:device.function" to matchthe lspci format.
Fixed a bug in the GLX_EXT_buffer_age extension where incorrect ages would be returned unless triple buffering was enabled.
Changed the driver's default behavior to stop deleting RandR 1.2 outputs corresponding to unused DisplayPort 1.2 devices. Deleting these outputs can confuse some applications. Added a new option,DeleteUnusedDP12Displays, which can be used to turn this behavior back on.This option can be enabled by running sudo nvidia-xconfig --delete-unused-dp12-displays
Improved support for the __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE and VDPAU_NVIDIA_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE environment variables in certain configurations. Both environment variables will now recognize all supported display device names. See "Appendix C. Display Device Names" and "Appendix G. VDPAU Support" in the README for more details.
Improved performance of the X driver when handling large numbers of surface allocations.

Observations

Fixed a bug that prevented configuration files containing application profiles from being loaded when directories were present in the application profile configuration search path.
Fixed a bug that could lead to memory exhaustion in OpenGL applications running on 32-bit systems.
Fixed a bug that caused the X server to fail to initialize when DisplayPort 1.2 monitors were assigned to separate X screens on the same GPU.
Fixed a bug that could cause a deadlock when forking from OpenGL programs which use some malloc implementations, such as TCMalloc.
Fixed a bug that prevented Warp & Blend settings from being retained across display configuration changes.
Fixed a bug that prevented some settings changes made via the nvidia-settings command line interface from being reflected in the nvidia-settings graphical user interface.
Fixed a bug in MetaMode tracking that could cause spurious error messages to be printed when attempting to add or delete Metamodes via NV-CONTROL.
Fixed a bug that caused the NVIDIA X driver to attempt to load the X11 "shadow" module unconditionally, even in situations where the driver had no need to use the module. This could result in the printing of spurious error messages, on X servers where the module was not present.
Fixed a bug that prevented display configuration changes made with xvidtune(1) from working correctly.
Fixed a bug that occasionally caused display corruption in GLX applications while changing the display configuration.
Fixed a bug that prevented glReadPixels from working correctly when reading from Pixel Buffer Objects over indirect rendering, when the image width is not a multiple of 4.
Added a new NV-CONTROL attribute, NV_CTRL_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS, for controlling backlight brightness.
Fixed a bug that prevented nvidia-settings from creating display device configuration pages for newly connected DisplayPort 1.2 Multi Stream Transport downstream devices.
Added GPU utilization reporting to the nvidia-settings control panel.
Fixed a bug in the nvidia-settings control panel that prevented users from configuring stereo, when stereo was not already configured.
Added support for reporting the tachometer-measured fan speed on capable graphics boards via nvidia-settings and the NV-CONTROL API. The preexisting mechanism for reporting fan speed reports the speed of the fan as programmed by the driver.
For example, `nvidia-settings --query=[fan:0]/GPUCurrentFanSpeedRPM`.
Fixed a regression that caused GPUs that do not support graphics to not appear in nvidia-settings.
Fixed a bug that caused DisplayPort 1.2 multi-stream devices to stop working if they were unplugged and plugged back in while they were active in the current MetaMode.
Added support for multiple NVIDIA kernel modules. This feature allows users to assign different GPUs in the system to different NVIDIA kernel modules, potentially reducing the software overhead of coordinating access to multiple GPUs.
Added support for the EGL API on 32-bit platforms. Currently, the supported client APIs are OpenGL ES 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0, and the only supported window system backend is X11.
Add a new option, AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration, which allows the X server to start even if no connected display devices are detected at startup. This option can be enabled by running "sudo nvidia-xconfig --allow-empty-initial-configuration"
Added a system memory cache to improve the performance of certain X rendering operations that use software rendering fallbacks. The X configuration option "SoftwareRenderCacheSize" may be used to configure the size of the cache.
Removed the "DynamicTwinView" X configuration option: dynamic reconfiguration of displays is always possible, and can no longer be disabled.
Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-settings to display incorrect information in its display configuration page when all displays on an X screen were turned off.

Removed libvdpau and libvdpau_trace from the NVIDIA driver package. VDPAU is not supported on the legacy hardware supported on the release 304 legacy driver branch. The libvdpau_nvidia vendor library is still included, so users who wish to use VDPAU with newer hardware that still works with release 304 drivers may install libvdpau from packages provided by the OS vendor where available.
Updated nvidia-installer to use modprobe(8) when leaving the NVIDIA kernel module loaded after installation, instead of insmod(8) or libkmod. This allows the kernel module to honor any configuration directives that apply to it in /etc/modprobe.d when it is loaded.
Fixed a bug that allowed console messages from the Linux kernel to be drawn over the user interface of nvidia-installer.

Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 19 (xorg-server 1.17).
Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
Implemented support for disabling indirect GLX context creation using the -iglx option available on X.Org server release 1.16 and newer. Note that future X.Org server releases may make the -iglx option the default. To re-enable support for indirect GLX on such servers, use the +iglx option.
Added the "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" X config option. This option can be used to disallow use of GLX protocol. See "Appendix B. X Config Options" in the README for more details.
Updated nvidia-installer to install a file in the system's xorg.conf.d directory, when a sufficiently new X server is detected, to cause the X server to load the "nvidia" X driver automatically if it is started after the NVIDIA kernel module is loaded.
This feature is supported in X.Org xserver 1.16 and higher when running on Linux 3.9 or higher with CONFIG_DRM enabled.
Updated nvidia-installer to log uninstallation to a separate file from the installation log, and to attempt uninstalling previous driver installations using the installer program from the previous
installation, when available.
Updated nvidia-installer to avoid writing to non-zero offsets of sysctl files in /proc/sys/kernel.

Fixed a bug that could prevent nvidia-xconfig from disabling the X Composite extension on version 1.20 of the X.org X server.
Added support to nvidia-installer for systems which provide ncurses libraries supporting the ncurses widechar ABI only.
Updated nvidia-installer to avoid problems with commands whose proper functionality may be dependent on system localization (e.g. via the LANG environment variable.) For example, some kernel configurations may produce unusable kernel modules if LANG is set to a language other than English.
Updated nvidia-installer for better compatibility with ncurses when libncurses.so.6 exposes the ncurses reentrant ABI, such as on openSUSE Leap 15 and SUSE Linux Enterprise 15.
Fixed a build failure, "too many arguments to function 'get_user_pages'", when building the NVIDIA kernel module for Linux kernel v4.4.168.

The 340.xx legacy Unified Memory kernel module is incompatible with recent Linux kernels, and the GPU hardware generations that the 340.xx legacy driver series is intended to support do not support Unified Memory.
Added support for X.Org xserver ABI 24 (xorg-server 1.20).
Improved nvidia-bug-report.sh to check for kern.log which is the default kernel log-file location for many Debian-based Linux distributions.
Fixed a bug which could cause X servers that export a Video Driver ABI earlier than 0.8 to crash when running X11 applications which call XRenderAddTraps().

Observations

Fixed a compatibility problem between the nvidia.ko's Page Attribute Table (PAT) support and the kernel Page Table Isolation (PTI) patches.

To optimize stores to memory, nvidia.ko contains support for configuring the CPU's PAT registers, as a fallback for Linux kernels that predate kernel native PAT support. On any recent kernel with CONFIG_X86_PAT enabled, the driver will detect that setup has already been done and skip its PAT setup. However, a static inline function called by nvidia.ko's PAT fallback support was updated in the PTI patches to use the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL symbol 'cpu_tlbstate'. nvidia.ko was updated to only contain its PAT fallback support, at build time, on kernels without CONFIG_X86_PAT.

Observations

Added support for the following GPUs:
GeForce GTX 750 Ti
GeForce GTX 750
GeForce GTX 745
GeForce GTX TITAN Black
Fixed a regression in the NVIDIA kernel module which caused it to improperly dereference a userspace pointer. This potential security issue was initially reported to the public at:
The regression did not affect NVIDIA GPU drivers before release 334.
Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL programs to hang after calling fork(2).
Fixed a bug that could cause a multi-threaded OpenGL application to crash when one of its threads exits after the application has unloaded libGL.
Added support for GPUs with VDPAU Feature Set E. See the README for details.
On GPUs with VDPAU Feature Set E, VDPAU now supports more robust decode error handling at the cost of a minor performance impact.
This can be disabled by setting the
VDPAU_NVIDIA_DISABLE_ERROR_CONCEALMENT environment variable to 1.
Added support for application profile rule patterns which are logical operations of subpatterns. See the README for details.
Added support for a "findfile" application profile feature which allows the driver to apply profiles based on matching files in the same directory as the process executable. See the README for details.
Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-installer to log the automatically selected answers to some user prompts without logging the prompt text itself, when running in silent mode.
Improved performance of OpenGL applications when used in conjunction with the X driver's composition pipeline. The composition pipeline may be explicitly enabled by using the ForceCompositionPipeline or ForceFullCompositionPipeline MetaMode options, or implicitly enabled when certain features such as some XRandR transformations, rotation,Warp & Blend, PRIME, and NvFBC are used.
Fixed a bug that could cause nvidia-settings to compute incorrect gamma ramps when adjusting the color correction sliders.
Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to allow the selection of display devices using RandR and target ID names when making queries targeted towards specific display devices.
Fixed a bug that prevented some dropdown menus in the nvidia-settings control panel from working correctly on older versions of GTK+ (e.g. 2.10.x).
Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to provide help text for application profile keys and suggestions for valid key names when configuring application profiles.
Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to populate the dropdown menu of stereo modes with only those modes which are available.
Fixed a bug that could cause applications using the OpenGL extension ARB_query_buffer_object to crash under Xinerama.
Fixed a bug that caused high pixelclock HDMI modes (e.g. as used with 4K resolutions) to be erroneously reported as dual-link in the nvidia-settings control panel.
Fixed a bug that could cause poor stereo synchronization in large multi-monitor setups using 3D Vision, due to failed hardwarehandshaking on some of the monitors.
Fixed a bug that prevented some DisplayPort 1.2 displays from being properly restored after a VT switch.
Renamed per GPU proc directories in /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/ with GPU's bus location represented in "domain:bus:device.function" format.
Added 64-bit EGL and OpenGL ES libraries to 64-bit driver packages.
Changed format of "Bus Location" field reported in the /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0..N/information files from "domain:bus.device.function" to "domain:bus:device.function" to match
the lspci format.
Fixed a bug in the GLX_EXT_buffer_age extension where incorrect ages would be returned unless triple buffering was enabled.
Updated the NVIDIA X driver to load the NVIDIA kernel module using `nvidia-modprobe`, rather than the XFree86 DDX helper function xf86LoadKernelModule().
Changed the driver's default behavior to stop deleting RandR 1.2 output corresponding to unused DisplayPort 1.2 devices. Deleting these outputs can confuse some applications. Added a new option, DeleteUnusedDP12Displays, which can be used to turn this behavior back on.
This option can be enabled by running sudo nvidia-xconfig --delete-unused-dp12-displays
Improved support for the __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE and VDPAU_NVIDIA_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE environment variables in certain configurations. Both environment variables will now recognize all supported display device names. See "Appendix C. Display Device Names" and "Appendix G. VDPAU Support" in the README for more details.
Improved performance of the X driver when handling large numbers of surface allocations.

Observations

Added support for NVIDIA OpenGL-based Framebuffer Capture (NvFBCOpenGL). This library provides a high performance, low latency interface to capture and optionally encode the composited framebuffer of an X screen. NvFBC and NvIFR are private APIs that are only available to approved partners for use in remote graphics scenarios. Please contact NVIDIA at [email protected] for more information.
Fixed a bug that prevented configuration files containing application profiles from being loaded when directories were present in the application profile configuration search path.
Deferred initialization of libselinux in the NVIDIA OpenGL driver, in order to avoid a problem where libselinux might not be ready when the NVIDIA libGL shared library is first loaded.
Fixed a bug that could lead to memory exhaustion in OpenGL applications running on 32-bit systems.
Added nvidia-uvm.ko, the NVIDIA Unified Memory kernel module, to the NVIDIA Linux driver package. This kernel module provides support for the new Unified Memory feature in an upcoming CUDA release.
Fixed a bug that caused the X server to fail to initialize when DisplayPort 1.2 monitors were assigned to separate X screens on the same GPU.
Fixed a bug that could cause a deadlock when forking from OpenGL programs which use some malloc implementations, such as TCMalloc.
Fixed a bug that prevented Warp & Blend settings from being retained across display configuration changes.
Fixed a bug that prevented some settings changes made via the nvidia-settings command line interface from being reflected in the nvidia-settings graphical user interface.
Fixed a bug in MetaMode tracking that could cause spurious error messages to be printed when attempting to add or delete Metamodes via NV-CONTROL.
Fixed a bug that caused the NVIDIA X driver to attempt to load the X11 "shadow" module unconditionally, even in situations where the driver had no need to use the module. This could result in the printing of spurious error messages, on X servers where the module was not present.
Fixed a bug that prevented display configuration changes made with xvidtune(1) from working correctly.
Fixed a bug that occasionally caused display corruption in GLX applications while changing the display configuration.
Fixed a bug that prevented glReadPixels from working correctly when reading from Pixel Buffer Objects over indirect rendering, when the image width is not a multiple of 4.
Added a new NV-CONTROL attribute, NV_CTRL_BACKLIGHT_BRIGHTNESS, for controlling backlight brightness.
Fixed a bug that prevented nvidia-settings from creating display device configuration pages for newly connected DisplayPort 1.2 Multi Stream Transport downstream devices.
Added GPU utilization reporting to the nvidia-settings control panel.
Fixed a bug in the nvidia-settings control panel that prevented users from configuring stereo, when stereo was not already configured.
Added support for reporting the tachometer-measured fan speed on capable graphics boards via nvidia-settings and the NV-CONTROL API. The preexisting mechanism for reporting fan speed reports the speed of the fan as programmed by the driver.
For example, `nvidia-settings --query=[fan:0]/GPUCurrentFanSpeedRPM`.
Fixed a regression that caused GPUs that do not support graphics to not appear in nvidia-settings.
Fixed a bug that caused DisplayPort 1.2 multi-stream devices to stop working if they were unplugged and plugged back in while they were active in the current MetaMode.
Added support for multiple NVIDIA kernel modules. This feature allows users to assign different GPUs in the system to different NVIDIA kernel modules, potentially reducing the software overhead of coordinating access to multiple GPUs.
Added support for the EGL API on 32-bit platforms. Currently, the supported client APIs are OpenGL ES 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0, and the only supported window system backend is X11.
Add a new option, AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration, which allows the X server to start even if no connected display devices are detected at startup. This option can be enabled by running "sudo nvidia-xconfig --allow-empty-initial-configuration"
This option is useful in RandR 1.4 display offload configurations where no display devices are connected to the NVIDIA GPU when the X server is started, but might be connected later.
Updated nvidia-installer to provide a scrollable text area for displaying messages from the /usr/lib/nvidia/alternate-install-present and /usr/lib/nvidia/alternate-install-available distro hook files. This allows for longer messages to be provided in these files.
Updated nvidia-installer to avoid recursing into the per-kernel "build" and "source" directories when searching for conflicting kernel modules in /lib/modules.
Added a system memory cache to improve the performance of certain X rendering operations that use software rendering fallbacks. The X configuration option "SoftwareRenderCacheSize" may be used to configure the size of the cache.
Removed the "DynamicTwinView" X configuration option: dynamic reconfiguration of displays is always possible, and can no longer be disabled.
Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-settings to display incorrect information in its display configuration page when all displays on an X screen were turned off.
Updated nvidia-installer to only install the libraries libvdpau and libvdpau_trace if an existing installation of libvdpau is not detected on the system. This behavior can be overridden with the --install-vdpau-wrapper and --no-install-vdpau-wrapper options.

Added the NVIDIA OpenGL-based Inband Frame Readback (NvIFROpenGL) library to the Linux driver package. This library provides a high performance, low latency interface to capture and optionally encode an individual OpenGL framebuffer. NvIFROpenGL captures pixels rendered by OpenGL only and is ideally suited to application capture and remoting.
Fixed a bug that caused applications using CUDA-GL interop to crash when run on X servers with Xinerama enabled.
Fixed a bug that could prevent some double-bit ECC errors from being properly reported.
Fixed a bug which could cause a blank screen when changing house sync settings on Quadro Kepler GPUs with Quadro Sync boards.
Fixed a bug that prevented nested loops with identical loop conditions in GLSL shaders from terminating correctly. This could cause hangs in applications such as Exa PowerVIZ.
Fixed a bug that resulted in corrupt texels when a previously empty texture image was specified with glXBindTexImageEXT. In GNOME 3, this caused gnome-screenshot to produce garbled window screenshots.

Observations

Added support for X.org xserver ABI 15 (xorg-server 1.15).
Updated nvidia-installer to consider the "libglamoregl.so" X loadable extension module to be in conflict with the NVIDIA OpenGL driver. This module can cause the NVIDIA libGL to be loaded into the same process (the X server) as the NVIDIA libglx.so extension module, which is not a supported use case.

Observations

Added support for the following GPUs:
GeForce GTX 750 Ti
GeForce GTX 750
GeForce GTX 745
GeForce GTX TITAN Black
Fixed a regression in the NVIDIA kernel module which caused it to improperly dereference a userspace pointer.
The regression did not affect NVIDIA GPU drivers before release 334.
Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL programs to hang after calling fork(2).
Fixed a bug that could cause a multi-threaded OpenGL application to crash when one of its threads exits after the application has unloaded libGL.
Added support for GPUs with VDPAU Feature Set E. See the README for details.
On GPUs with VDPAU Feature Set E, VDPAU now supports more robust decode error handling at the cost of a minor performance impact.
This can be disabled by setting the
VDPAU_NVIDIA_DISABLE_ERROR_CONCEALMENT environment variable to 1.
Added support for application profile rule patterns which are logical operations of subpatterns. See the README for details.
Added support for a "findfile" application profile feature which allows the driver to apply profiles based on matching files in the same directory as the process executable. See the README for details.
Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-installer to log the automatically selected answers to some user prompts without logging the prompt text itself, when running in silent mode.
Improved performance of OpenGL applications when used in conjunction with the X driver's composition pipeline. The composition pipeline may be explicitly enabled by using the ForceCompositionPipeline or ForceFullCompositionPipeline MetaMode options, or implicitly enabled when certain features such as some XRandR transformations, rotation,Warp & Blend, PRIME, and NvFBC are used.
Fixed a bug that could cause nvidia-settings to compute incorrect gamma ramps when adjusting the color correction sliders.
Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to allow the selection of display devices using RandR and target ID names when making queries targeted towards specific display devices.
Fixed a bug that prevented some dropdown menus in the nvidia-settings control panel from working correctly on older versions of GTK+ (e.g. 2.10.x).
Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to provide help text for application profile keys and suggestions for valid key names when configuring application profiles.
Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to populate the dropdown menu of stereo modes with only those modes which are available.
Fixed a bug that could cause applications using the OpenGL extension ARB_query_buffer_object to crash under Xinerama.
Fixed a bug that caused high pixelclock HDMI modes (e.g. as used with 4K resolutions) to be erroneously reported as dual-link in the nvidia-settings control panel.
Fixed a bug that could cause poor stereo synchronization in large multi-monitor setups using 3D Vision, due to failed hardwarehandshaking on some of the monitors.
Fixed a bug that prevented some DisplayPort 1.2 displays from being properly restored after a VT switch.
Renamed per GPU proc directories in /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/ with GPU's bus location represented in "domain:bus:device.function" format.
Added 64-bit EGL and OpenGL ES libraries to 64-bit driver packages.
Changed format of "Bus Location" field reported in the /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0..N/information files from "domain:bus.device.function" to "domain:bus:device.function" to match
the lspci format.
Fixed a bug in the GLX_EXT_buffer_age extension where incorrect ages would be returned unless triple buffering was enabled.
Updated the NVIDIA X driver to load the NVIDIA kernel module using `nvidia-modprobe`, rather than the XFree86 DDX helper function xf86LoadKernelModule().
Changed the driver's default behavior to stop deleting RandR 1.2 output corresponding to unused DisplayPort 1.2 devices. Deleting these outputs can confuse some applications. Added a new option, DeleteUnusedDP12Displays, which can be used to turn this behavior back on.
This option can be enabled by running sudo nvidia-xconfig --delete-unused-dp12-displays
Improved support for the __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE and VDPAU_NVIDIA_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE environment variables in certain configurations. Both environment variables will now recognize all supported display device names. See "Appendix C. Display Device Names" and "Appendix G. VDPAU Support" in the README for more details.
Improved performance of the X driver when handling large numbers of surface allocations.

Observations

Fixed a bug that could cause display flickering after setting some scaling configurations.
Fixed a bug that prevented the status bar on the "PowerMizer" and "X Server XVideo Settings" pages in the nvidia-settings control panel from being updated when settings were changed by another NV-CONTROL client.
Fixed a bug that could cause some UI elements to be duplicated in the nvidia-settings control panel following a VT switch on X server configurations with multiple NVIDIA X screens.
Fixed a bug that prevented the creation of a mode via RandR with the same name as a previously created mode, even after the previous mode had been deleted.
Fixed a bug in nvidia-settings that caused GTK+ theme colors to be ignored for some UI elements.
Fixed a bug that caused nvidia-settings to write hostname-based color correction settings to the .nvidia-settings-rc configuration file, even when the "Include X Display Names in the Config File" option was unset. This could lead to a long delay when starting nvidia-settings, if a hostname saved to the configuration file failed to resolve.
Fixed a bug that exposed edge overlap controls on the SLI Mosaic page of nvidia-settings on edges where overlap was impossible.
Fixed a bug that caused some settings in the nvidia-settings control panel to be reset when reprobing displays.
Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL applications that use Frame Buffer Objects (FBOs) to crash following a mode switch (e.g. changing the resolution of a display or transforming it).
Fixed a memory leak that could be triggered by unloading libGL before destroying all GLX contexts.
Fixed a bug that could cause color correction settings to be applied to the wrong display when multiple displays are unplugged and then plugged back in again.
Fixed a bug that could cause a spurious error message about a missing NV-GLX extension when performing indirect rendering from a GLX client with the NVIDIA client-side OpenGL libraries to a non-NVIDIA GLX server.
Fixed an OpenGL bug that prevented conditional rendering from the NV_conditional_render extension from correctly affecting CopyPixels.
Improved the rendering performance of complex gradients.
Added support for configuring SLI Mosaic and Base Mosaic in the "X Server Display Configuration" page of nvidia-settings.
Fixed an X driver bug where the RandR CRTC panning area and tracking area were not getting clamped to the current X screen size when the RandR CRTC transitioned from disabled to enabled.
Fixed an X driver bug where successful RandR X_RRSetScreenConfig requests would update the server's RandR 'lastSetTime' too far, potentially causing subsequent RandR requests to be unnecessarily rejected.
Fixed an X driver bug that caused GPUs to become inaccessible via the NV-CONTROL X extension when no corresponding X screens could be initialized.
Generate a BadMatch error when applications attempt to create GLX pixmaps using glXCreatePixmap() or glXCreateGLXPixmapWithConfigSGIX() and the pixmap's depth doesn't match that of the specified GLXFBConfig.
Updated nvidia-settings to explicitly specify the direction of rotation for configuring per-display rotation configuration.
Honor a GPU UUID as the GPU qualifier for X configuration options that allow GPU qualifiers (e.g. "MetaModes").
Report GPU UUIDs in the X log when verbose logging is enabled in the X server.
Enabled conformant glBlitFrameBuffer() scissor test behavior by default. A driver-provided application profile enables the previous non-conformant behavior for applications that load libcogl, to work around a bug in older versions of libcogl.
Application profiles can be added to enable the non-conformant behavior for other applications that depend upon it. See the "Known Issues" section of the README for more details.
Fixed a bug that caused the X server to crash when querying the current mode of disabled displays.

Observations

Fixed a regression in the NVIDIA kernel module which caused it to improperly dereference a userspace pointer.
The regression did not affect NVIDIA GPU drivers before release 334.
Fixed a bug that could cause OpenGL programs to hang after calling fork(2).
Fixed a bug that could cause a multi-threaded OpenGL application to crash when one of its threads exits after the application has unloaded libGL.
Added support for GPUs with VDPAU Feature Set E. See the README for details.
On GPUs with VDPAU Feature Set E, VDPAU now supports more robust decode error handling at the cost of a minor performance impact.
This can be disabled by setting the
VDPAU_NVIDIA_DISABLE_ERROR_CONCEALMENT environment variable to 1.
Added support for application profile rule patterns which are logical operations of subpatterns. See the README for details.
Added support for a "findfile" application profile feature which allows the driver to apply profiles based on matching files in the same directory as the process executable. See the README for details.
Improved performance of OpenGL applications when used in conjunction with the X driver's composition pipeline. The composition pipeline may be explicitly enabled by using the ForceCompositionPipeline or ForceFullCompositionPipeline MetaMode options, or implicitly enabled when certain features such as some XRandR transformations, rotation,Warp & Blend, PRIME, and NvFBC are used.
Fixed a bug that could cause nvidia-settings to compute incorrect gamma ramps when adjusting the color correction sliders.
Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to allow the selection of display devices using RandR and target ID names when making queries targeted towards specific display devices.
Fixed a bug that prevented some dropdown menus in the nvidia-settings control panel from working correctly on older versions of GTK+ (e.g. 2.10.x).
Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to provide help text for application profile keys and suggestions for valid key names when configuring application profiles.
Updated the nvidia-settings control panel to populate the dropdown menu of stereo modes with only those modes which are available.
Fixed a bug that could cause applications using the OpenGL extension ARB_query_buffer_object to crash under Xinerama.

Fixed a bug that caused corrupted window content in some cases when moving GLX windows with antialiasing enabled.
Fixed a bug that caused DisplayPort devices that failed link training to be reported as connected rather than disconnected.
Fixed a regression that could cause a DisplayPort device that was connected to one connector to turn off when a DisplayPort device on a different connector was connected or disconnected.
On Kepler-based GPUs, improved the appearance of the tearing that occurs when using RandR 1.4's Source Output capability.While tearing is still expected, the tears should now appear as horizontal lines rather than more noticeable checkerboard or triangular shapes.
Added a "Prefer Consistent Performance" PowerMizer Mode to the nvidia-settings control panel, available on Quadro boards that support this feature.
