* debian/dkms.conf.in,
  make-use-of-the-new-uapi-framework.patch,
  replace-VM_RESERVED-with-VM_DONTEXPAND-and-VM_DONTDU.patch:
  - Add support for Linux 3.7 (LP: #1075937).
* New upstream release:
  - Fixed a bug that caused the EIZO FlexScan SX2762W
    monitor to remain blank when connected via
    DisplayPort.
  - Updated nvidia-settings to save and restore
    per-monitor color correction settings when RandR
    1.2 or later is available.
  - Fixed a bug that caused too many display devices
    to appear in the X Screen page of nvidia-settings
    when SLI is enabled.
  - Fixed a bug that caused applications to stop
    rendering or the X server to hang in Xinerama
    configurations when windows were moved, resized,
    mapped, or unmapped.
  - Fixed a bug that caused poor OpenGL performance
    on GeForce 6 and 7 PCI cards.
  - Fixed a bug in nvidia-settings that made it report
    the status of ECC configuration incorrectly.
  - Fixed a bug that caused the X server to crash if a
    display was put into DPMS off mode and subsequently
    reenabled while screen transformations are in use.
  - Fixed a bug that caused the X Resize and Rotate
    extension to be enabled when Xinerama is enabled.
    These two X extensions are incompatible and having
    them both enabled can confuse window managers such
    as KDE's kwin. RandR is now correctly disabled when
    Xinerama is enabled.
  - Fixed a bug causing OpenGL stereo applications to
    not work properly when using passive stereo modes 5
    through 9 on Quadro Fermi and newer GPUs.
  - Added support for the "Backlight" RandR output
    property for configuring the brightness of some
    notebook internal panels.
  - Fixed a bug that prevented the Ubuntu Unity launcher
    panel from unhiding (LP:# 1057000).
  - Fixed a bug that caused incorrect input
    transformation after resizing an NVIDIA X screen
    with xserver ABI 12 (xorg-server 1.12) or newer.
  - Fixed a bug that caused GLX to leak memory when
    Xinerama is enabled.
  - Fixed a regression in backlight control functionality
    on some notebook configurations.
  - Fixed a performance issue with recent Linux kernels
    when allocating and freeing system memory.
  - Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented the display
    device / X screen selection menu from being displayed
    in nvidia-settings.
  - Fixed a bug that prevented X driver gamma
    manipulation from working after a VT-switch on some
    configurations.
  - Added the option --output-file to nvidia-bug-report.sh
    to allow specifying a custom filename for the log file.
  - Fixed a hang when using OpenGL programs with some SLI
    Mosaic configurations on pre-Fermi GPUs.
  - Added sections to the Supported NVIDIA GPU Products
    list for NVS, Tesla, and VGX products.
  - Added support for the following GPUs:
    o VGX K1
    o VGX K2
    o Tesla K20c
    o Tesla K20m
