A small changelog

AMD Software: PRO Edition flavor is similar to Nvidia’s Studio Driver option; delivering quarterly driver updates for the sake of complete stability on professional tasks on the systems. The changelog of the stability-focused driver package is rather short, consisting of fixes for a bug in the CgFX plugin in Maya and a display corruption issue:

• CgFX Plug-In does not load in Maya 2023 on all-open driver
• Linux Pro MGPU RHEL9.0 display corruption is seen on X11 Display Manager when connected to more than three displays

AMD Software: PRO Edition 22.Q4 package consists of components from both “Open” and “PRO” drivers; which are also most likely updated but not documented in the changelog.
