Nvidia driver versioning scheme

Non-technical Questions
1

not on ‘unstable’,just wondering how does Nvidia goes from 470 to 495?

2

Normally big numbers means big changes,in this case can be Wayland and the support for GBM.

so were there other versions in between(480,485 etc.)or they just decided it’ll be called 495?

If I remember correctly, they are simply matching the windows driver’s name/number. Whether that’s true or not, there is no 480/485 driver.
