I can only find a user's manual for Cg 1.4 from Sept 2005, and the Cg Tutorial from earlier than that. Cg is now on version 3 and I'm wondering about all the new profiles and tech that must be in it... Anyone got some links?

\$\begingroup\$ Okay, I did see that too, but being so manpage-esque I was put off by it. So all up-to-date relevant information can be found in this file? \$\endgroup\$– Steven LuCommented Sep 5, 2011 at 0:29

The reference manual is up to date in the nvidia site Cg 3.0 Reference Manual, which i believe is where you can get most of the information you want. It does contain very detailed data of everything you can do with Cg, I don't think there's something missing there, but it may be hard to read at first as it's just a reference for all the technical aspects of it, you will hardly find something like a tutorial in it, perhaps there is some very small examples to explain some concepts (I'm gonna read some now it looks interesting).
EDIT: The manual doesn't seem to be that tough as I expected, if you have some experience with Cg or something similar already. I downloaded everything from the Cg Toolkit Download page. There it also mentions the users manuals and the demo tutorials were not updated, I believe you may find more updated tutorials on the web.
and this is The Cg Tutorial book, it may be useful for people interested in Cg

\$\begingroup\$ Okay, it looks like they just haven't updated the tutorial (which is great at explaining everything) for all the newer features yet. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Sep 6, 2011 at 15:59
