I'm just a user, not a packager, but in my opinion it might worth considering
skipping this release, pending upstream's response to any new issues brought
up. I decided to give 375.10 a try (built the packages from the SVN 375
branch, r6940) since my experience with suspend/hibernate and NVIDIA's drivers
as of late has been quite hit-and-miss, but after upgrading I get the Plasma
screen locker issue mentioned in this forum thread:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/972736/linux/some-applications-crash-on-exit-with-nvidia-375-10/
Perhaps it's just me, but breaking a desktop environment's screen locker in
exchange for new hardware support doesn't seem worth it.
