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

For more robust integrity check, you can use our GPG public key, which was verifyed with ETH transaction from our main devfee account as explained here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg56755869#msg56755869. Here are the signatures for the files in this release:

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.

10/10 from me tonight thanks for fixing the RX6800XT kernel!

Now running PM 5.8c in Manjero with driver 20.40 (until try 21.20 in ubuntu later in week) with clkernel1 running ok and hash rates no longer pinging about nice n stable on all 6 cards with ZERO stales!
