release  info and download address :

https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1024133

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. This functionality was limited to unencrypted ftp and http, and was implemented using code that is no longer actively maintained.

patch to allow the uvm module compile on 4.12.12

Thanks - this has been working well for me on gentoo-source-4.12.12 for the last couple of days.

The attached patch allows the uvm module compile - if you don't need uvm then just keep the uvm use flag off (the default).
