1 Hello,

9 Nvidia continues developing and fixing bugs in the previous
10 branches when necessary. Obviously, new features that goes into
11 the current branch can't be backported, since the older cards just
12 lack the hardware support for such features. But the older branches
13 still get occasional updates if a bug is detected or there's any
14 other problem that requires attention.
