It's nice to see the Known Issues down to only 4 issues, been a while since I remember seeing it that small.  It seems like the AMD driver team has finally found their stride and I'm hoping they stick with the current setup till they are stable.  The move from Catalyst to Crimson seemed really abrupt and from Crimson to Adrenalin seemed to be a weird rebranding and UI change with no real benefit.  Not it seems like the focus has actually been on the driver itself which is great.
