Release highlights since 340.102: Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels. Updated nvidia-installer to label kernel modules with SELinux file type 'modules_object_t'. Some system SELinux policies only permit loading of kernel modules with this SELinux file type. Removed support for checking for and downloading updated driver packages and precompiled kernel interfaces from nvidia-installer.
