Support for AMD GPUs
OSX
This release brings support of AMD GPUs on Apple OSX platform. Main work was done by the OpenCL driver team who significantly improved quality of the driver, making it possible to run existing Cycles kernel.
The major requirement is it's crucial to update all the way to OSX El Capitan, which is the only platform so far which includes crucial fixes from AMD.
Windows / Linux
This release also brings various fixes and improvements for AMD GPUs support on Windows and Linux, making it possible to use wider variety of different GPUs.
One of the fixes is related on preventing crash when going to User Preferences for older cards users (87328bd). There is no nice solution for this, so the code now simply checks for particular driver vendor/version. Surely such checks are not really reliable, so if someone uses new card and latest driver and it's not listed in the device list please submit a report about this.
