    16.1.1 was updated with WHQL certified drivers and re-released on the 16th this month. :) - http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Radeon-Software-Crimson-Edition-16.1.1-Hotfix-Release-Notes.aspx
    (No changes to the drivers, it's just a signature after all and these days it doesn't seem to mean much at all.)

    But yes AMD is planning for more hotfixes and beta drivers and fewer WHQL releases if I understood correctly.

    " Display corruption may be observed after keeping system idle for some time "

    Still? What the hell AMD, this issue is annoying as it forces me to do a restart. Luckily it only affects the main screen, but still....
