Hmm dropping 32-bit now? Interesting.
And it's not 18.11.3 but 18.12.1 for some reason though Just Cause 4 support and that seems to be it for these, hmm.
EDIT: Nothing in the profiles file, though Just Cause 4 had some entry already so it might be working quite well but maybe this driver has further fixes or some smaller performance gains.
Decoder was some updates too it seems.
amf-mft-mjpeg-decoder32.dll=SignatureAttributes.PETrust
amf-mft-mjpeg-decoder64.dll=SignatureAttributes.PETrust
These seem to be new. Motion JPEG?
Joining h264 and h265 decoding from before.
AMDh264Enc32.dll=SignatureAttributes.PETrust
AMDh264Enc64.dll=SignatureAttributes.PETrust
AMDh265Enc32.dll=SignatureAttributes.PETrust
AMDh265Enc64.dll=SignatureAttributes.PETrust
(Both already existed since quite some time ago.)
And I'm still not seeing a entry for Polaris 20 and the 590X in these INF files.
EDIT: Nope there's the 590, I'm looking for the wrong product. Ok that's sorted then.

There's some info finally.
https://videocardz.com/79193/amd-preparing-radeon-software-adreanlin-2019-edition
The new driver will be released mid-December. There is an embargo, but at this moment we are unsure if the information and the driver will be released simultaneously.
First things first. The new driver is still called Adrenalin, 2019 Edition, despite the fact that it will launch this year, or so I’m told. The driver will bring a handful of enhancements and features, but I will only mention a few.
The driver features new overclocking capabilities, such as one-click overclocking (including the memory – so I’ve heard). This obviously is a direct response to NVIDIA’s Turing OC Scanner, but we have no details on how the AMD tool will work exactly.
Our sources claim that new Adrenalin will also support undervolting, yes you heard that right, fully automatic undervolting. This was quite a topic at Vega launch, so I’m looking forward to how efficient this tool will be.
Last but not least, I have also heard about fan curvature modifications in new Wattman.
Have you ever wanted to talk to your graphics card? Well, guess what, AMD will give you this opportunity with Adrenalin 2019 and AMD Link update. You will be able to issue simple commands, but only in English and Chinese. I don’t have a list of all commands yet, but I heard you can ask the software to display FPS for you, should you need it, or take a screenshot (you get the idea).
The last feature which I found interesting is direct streaming to standalone VR headsets. Think of Steam Link, only for VR headset. I’ve heard the technology is really smooth and lag is hardly noticeable.

EDIT: Well voice activation and talking dirty to your graphics card I guess is a thing some people will find useful although the automated overclocking and undervolting could be interesting and for VR well that is something we'll see I guess how that works out.
So from Overdrive 5 and 6 to X and now to something else. Wonder if this is going to break third party software or maybe they can just add additional functionality to this system. We will see.
