Either I missed it or AMD just installs ReLive now without the installer having the option to ask the user about opting out or skipping, easy enough to trim down afterwards though.

There's a new log file in the C:\AMD folder with this driver too, not quite sure what it's about yet but I assume it's part of the performance overlay or one of these OSD's at least even if the default config is to save result to the AppData\Local\AMD folder instead.
The bundled Vulkan runtime was also updated to 1.0.65.0 with this driver.
And that's about all for now, liking being able to save Wattman profiles (finally.) and some of the bug fixes are welcome too, probably not any major performance gains (Particularly for older AMD hardware like this Fiji series GPU.) but perhaps there's some improvements and in either case bug fixes and other enhancements are welcome additions.
EDIT: So the XML comparison then.
