There are a lot of good improvements and fixes in this release. As a remorseful Nvidia on Linux user, I am extremely excited that GAMMA_LUT is finally making its debut in the Nvidia driver. This means I can actually try to use Gnome Wayland at night with the night shift feature, assuming other Wayland issues are also resolved.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
NVIDIA today published their first R545 Linux driver beta series with a number of shiny new features.
The NVIDIA 545.23.06 beta Linux driver was just posted as what will be their next feature series.
With the NVIDIA R545 Linux driver series come a number of exciting features:
Experimental HDMI 10 bits-per-component “deep color” support can be optionally enabled using a new “hdmi_deepcolor” module parameter.
Experimental support for run-time D3 (RTD3) power management for NVIDIA desktop GPUs.
Experimental support for frame-buffer consoles provided by the NVIDIA DRM kernel driver.
