Release Highlights:
Worked around a bug in a RedHat patch applied to the X server in RHEL 5 that caused screen resolution changes to corrupt the screen.
Fixed occasional X driver memory management performance problems when a composite manager is running.
Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.

Quoted

• Fixed VGA console restoration on some laptop GPUs.
• 
  Fixed a bug that caused kernel crashes when attempting to initialize
  NvAGP on Linux/x86-64 kernels built with the CONFIG_GART_IOMMU kernel
  option.
• Fixed a bug that caused some performance levels to be disabled on certain GeForce 9 series notebooks.
• Fixed crashes in Bibble 5.

• Moved kernel module loading earlier in the X driver's
  initialization, to facilitate more graceful fallbacks if the kernel
  module cannot be loaded. Removed the LoadKernelModule X configuration
  option.
• Add support for new horizontal interlaced and checkerboard passive stereo modes.
• Fixed occasional X server crashes when running an OpenGL-based composite manager.
• Fixed crashes in Bibble 5.

Release highlights since 185.19:

* Fixed a Xinerama drawable resource management problem that can cause GLXBadDrawable errors in certain cases, such as when Wine applications are run.
* Fixed XineramaQueryScreens to return 0 screens instead of 1 screen with the geometry of screen 0 when XineramaIsActive returns false. This conforms to the Xinerama manual page and fixes an interaction problem with Compiz when there is more than one X screen.
* Moved kernel module loading earlier in the X driver's initialization, to facilitate more graceful fallbacks if the kernel module cannot be loaded. Removed the LoadKernelModule X configuration option.
* Added support for new horizontal interlaced and checkerboard passive stereo modes.
* Fixed an OpenGL driver crash while running Bibble 5.
* Fixed a DisplayPort interaction problem with power management suspend/resume events.
* Fixed occasional X driver memory management performance problems when a composite manager is running.
* Fixed a bug with VT-switching or mode-switching while using Compiz; the bug could lead to a corrupted desktop (e.g., a white screen) or in the worst case an X server crash.
* Fixed a bug that could cause GPU errors in some cases while driving Quadro SDI products.
* Fixed a several second hang when VT-switching while OpenGL stereo applications were running on pre-G80 Quadro GPUs.
* Added support for multiple swap group members on G80 and later Quadro GPUs.
* Fixed the behavior of the NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_SYNC_DELAY NV-CONTROL attribute on Quadro G-Sync II.
* Fixed a problem with Quadro SDI where transitioning from "clone mode" to "OpenGL mode" would fail.
* Fixed VDPAU to eliminate some cases of corruption when decoding H.264 video containing field-coded reference frames on G84, G86, G92, G94, G96, or GT200 GPUs. Such streams are commonly found in DVB broadcasts.
* Slightly improved the performance of the VDPAU noise reduction algorithm.
* Enhanced VDPAU to validate whether overlay usage is supported by the current hardware configuration, and to automatically fall back to the blit-based presentation queue if required.
* Fixed error checking in VdpVideoMixerRender, to reject calls that specify more layers than the VdpMixer was created with.
* Modified VDPAU's VDPAU_DEBUG code to emit a complete backtrace on all platforms, not just on 32-bit Linux.
* Improved interaction between VDPAU and PowerMizer; appropriate performance levels should now be chosen for video playback of all standard resolutions on all supported GPUs.
* Fixed a bug in VDPAU that sometimes caused "display preemption" when the VdpDecoderCreate function failed.
* Fixed a potential segfault in the VDPAU trace library, triggered by a multi-threaded application creating a new VdpDevice in one thread, at the same time that another thread detected "display preemption".
* Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.

• Библиотека CUFFT теперь поддерживает преобразования
  двойной точности, значительное улучшение производительности для
  преобразований одиночной точности.
• CUDA-GDB - аппаратных отладчик, теперь доступен на всех поддерживаемых платформах Linux и входит в состав CUDA Toolkit.
  
  
• GPUs в SLI группах, теперь, нумеруются в индивидуально, так,
  что вы можете достичь производительность нескольких GPU, даже при включенной SLI для графики.
  
  
• Новая поддержка преобразования между fp16 и intrinsics,
  позволяет хранить данные fp16 в формате fp32. Использование fp16
  формата идеально подходит для приложений, требующих больший числовой
  диапазон, чем 16-битное целое, но менее точной, чем fp32, этим уменьшая
  объем используемой памяти и потребление пропускной способности.
  
• Новая pitchLinearTexure и пример кода, который показывает,
  насколько эффективно использовать текстуры из поля линейной памяти.
  
  
• Новый PTXJIT пример, иллюстрирующий, как
  использовать cuModuleLoadDataEx() для загрузки PTX источники из памяти,
  вместо загрузки файла.
  
• Два новых примера для Windows, показывающих, как использовать
  библиотеку NVCUVID для декодирования MPEG-2, VC-1 и H.264 данных
  и передавать кадры для отображения с помощью OpenGL и Direct3D
  
  
• Обновлены примеры показывающие, как правильно
  выравнивать параметры функций ядра CUDA, так, чтоб один и тот же код
  работал на x32 и x64 системах.
  
• В Visual Profiler в CUDA Toolkit имеет некоторые
  проблемы, которые были обнаружены слишком поздно, чтобы исправить без
  задержки бета-релиза. Пожалуйста, используйте вариант, который
  устанавливается
  отдельно (вне Toolkit) путем установки инструментальных средств, а
  затем отдельно установкой Visual Profiler поверх.
  
• Драйвер для CUDA в MacOS, теперь упаковываются отдельно от CUDA Toolkit.
  
  
• Поддержка основных дистрибутивов Linux, MacOS X, и
  Windows: Fedora 10, RHEL 4.7 & 5.3, SLED 10.2 & 11.0, OpenSUSE
  11.1, и Ubuntu 8.10 & 9.04 Windows XP/Vista/7 с Visual Studio 8
  (VC2005) и 9 (VC200 MacOS X 10.5.6 и позже (32-bit).
  

• Исправлены некоторые ошибки при работе приложений в Compiz/Beryl, в частности устранены проблемы при работе в Kopete;
  
• Исправлены нарушения отображения при просмотре/декодировании H.264 и VC-1 на картах с процессором G98 и MCP7;
