 * Added a `nvidia-ctk config` command which supports setting config options using a `--set` flag.
 * Added `--library-search-path` option to `nvidia-ctk cdi generate` command in `csv` mode. This allows folders where
   libraries are located to be specified explicitly.
+* Updated go-nvlib to support devices which are not present in the PCI device database. This allows the creation of dev/char symlinks on systems with such devices installed.
 
 * [toolkit-container] Set `NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=void` to prevent injection of NVIDIA devices and drivers into the NVIDIA Container Toolkit container.
