Has there been any drivers updates for amd mining since 23 August 2017?

Do everybody still use those drivers-2017, with the patcher or has there come out anything new yet.
 
Yes, radeon-software-adrenalin-edition-18.5.2-may29 just been released.Can be used for mining, I am running two 6 card rigs with these drivers and Claymore 11.
Hashrate about the same as Blockchain drivers, possibly 1 or 2 Mhs better on 6 card rig. Downside is that the settings (Wattman) is very slow. Only set up yesterday, so I will wait and see if the rigs are more stable.
You also need to set all cards to compute, which is a pain, unless you use compute switcher app which can be downloaded, Google for download link.

Great, do you also still use the patcher?
 
My cards have all had Bios flashed to improve hashrate, I had issues getting them to work on Blockchain, not picking up all cards. But eventually they were detected and have been running about 6 months now without too many crashes. Last crash I lost one card on each 6 card rig, which is why I am trying the new Adrenaline drivers. Your cards should work without flashing, as long as you set to compute mode. Blockchain drivers running 5 card rig without problems.

My rig still runs fine on old drivers with patch at around 29-30mhz. How much are you getting with those drivers installed for your rx 580's?
 
Those adrenalin drivers made my rigs slower as I added each card. Not in terms of MH but in terms of general pc speed... took me ages to setup, run the patcher, click compute in Wattman for each card... I then got fed up of waiting for the pc to respond to each click and went back to the August Blockchain drivers and everything is running peachy again...

What I have found is when I updated claymore to 11.8 this gave me a little boost of almost of about .75mh per card and my rigs run very stable.
