NVIDIA PERFORMANCE PRIMITIVES 
Version 3.1
RELEASE_NOTES.TXT
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Features
------------
  * None. 
    - This is purely an update compiled against the CUDA 3.1 Toolkit.
    - All restrictions from the previous release still apply.
    - The one notable change is that from now on NPP is versioned in 
      lock step with the CUDA Toolkit releases. That is the reason
      for the version bump from 1.1 directly to 3.1.
    - The names of the NPP dynamic libraries now reflect the full version
      suffix as their CUDA Toolkit counterparts.
