[ Alberto Milone ]
* debian/templates/dkms.conf.in:
  - Drop patches for Linux 3.19 and 4.0.
* New upstream release:
  - 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, or from the source code
    available at:
    http://people.freedesktop.org/~aplattner/vdpau/
* SECURITY UPDATE:
  - CVE-2015-5950 (LP: #1489391).

* New upstream release:
  - Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
  - Updated the NVIDIA OpenGL driver to write temporary files to
    $TMPDIR if it is set, instead of unconditionally writing to
    /tmp (LP: #1212425).
  - Updated a fallback of writing temporary files to $HOME/.nvidia
    to use $HOME/.nv instead, as the latter path is already used
    for other NVIDIA driver related files.
* debian/templates/dkms.conf.in:
  - Drop patch for Linux 3.11.
