The new features in this release (since 5.8b) are:
- Fixed a crash on Linux when mining on RDNA2 AMD cards (RX6x00) with older drivers
- Removed error messages when mining on fanless Nvidia cards
The changes of the previous beta (5.8b) since the last version (5.7b) are:
- Implemented optimized kernels for AMD RX6600XT cards
- Added support for the latest AMD Windows drivers (21.10.2, 21.10.1, 21.9.2, and 21.9.1). Note that any AMD cards older than Polaris (RX470/480/570/580/590) won't work with the latest AMD drivers.
- Added support for the latest AMD Linux drivers 21.30
- The latest AMD drivers (21.9.1 and later for Windows, and 21.30 and later for Linux) dropped support for the older kernels, so we changed the kernels for AMD Polaris cards to support these new drivers. There is a very small speed improvement (less than 0.1% on average) with the new kernels and the new drivers on Polaris cards
- Other fixes and small improvements

Known issues (driver incompatibilities, etc.) and workarounds:
- AMD Radeon VII cards will not work with Windows drivers 21.6.1 or higher, or Linux drivers 21.20 or higher - you need to use older drivers for proper operation of these cards
- AMD Vega cards will not work with Linux drivers 21.20 or higher
- Some Nvidia cards will report a lot of stale shares under Windows 11. Using the same driver version under Windows 10 resolves the issue.
