I've been testing 1.19.x in 17.04 pre-release for a few weeks, hoping to take advantage of the Nvidia PRIME synchronisation fix for laptops with Optimus hybrid graphics. As of 1.19.3, PRIME sync works (with a modprobe fix related to the nvidia driver). This is a huge improvement for nvidia Optimus users (i.e. most high-end laptops I suspect), since it means no more screen tearing on the laptop's LCD panel when hybrid graphics mode is activated. My testing has been on a Thinkpad P50. Really hope 1.19 gets into 17.04, and then into 16.04.3
