Note that this is not an official release. The changes are:

New AMD kernels for AMD RX470/480/570/580, Vega, and Fury, providing slightly higher hashrate and slightly lower percentage of stale shares. The new kernels are used by default on these GPUs. You can also revert to using the old kernels with -clkernel 1 (or -clkernel 2 for Polaris)
When using the new kernels, the mining intensity is 12 by default instead of 10
The mining intensity range is now up to 14. Use the highest -mi values only with the new AMD kernels as for the other kernels the stale shares may increase too much
Many small improvements and fixes

Hey PM, thanks for the update, Quick question: The text "You can also revert to using the old kernels with -clkernel 1" it sounds to me like a typo, on the readme.txt file, it states that 0: generic, 1: optimized, 2: alternative

But in your update you're saying that with option 1 you're reverting back to old kernels, so, which one to use for 580's? 0 or 1 option?

Thanks
