 This is an optimized miner for AMD GPUs and Xilinx FPGAs created by todxx and kerney666.

-We've chosen to release v0.9.4.6 as a public beta to gather more user feedback without triggering automatic updates in mining distros. The main reason is that we still have some outlier configurations that don't respond as expected to the new R-mode. When it works as intended, which is maybe 95-97% of all rigs we've tested on, things generally run very well. If you don't use the new R-mode, or you're a Windows miner, you still have an upside running this new version for the "smooth power" rewrite described below. 
+We've chosen to release v0.9.4.7 and the previous v0.9.4.6 as public betas to gather more user feedback without triggering automatic updates in mining distros. With the v0.9.4.7 release, we believe we've solved the issue with some Navi gpus simply not responding well to R-mode, rather dropping to e.g. 48-50 MH/s instead of expected 55-56 MH/s for a 5700/5700XT. We're expecting to push this version in a proper public release shortly unless we hear about any additional issues.
