When will it be available?
Michael would know.

He said Wednesday (Today), it might already had been released just hasn't been put up on the AMD site yet. Thats happened before, if it is Michael will tell us.

I seriously can't wait!
It will (hopefully) improve the performance of compiz-fusion on my laptop a lot!

The minute the new driver is available you will know at Phoronix and in the forums

I...neeeed....8.41 :-)
But im sure, if i have 8.41 installed and running, i cant wait to get 8.42 :-) XGl sucks.

Please remember that this is the first driver with the new codebase. If you're having bugs, there is a good chance that they get fixed in 8.42 or later. Don't post "AMD sucks" when you have one new bug. Why I am posting this? Because I bet some people will be posting "AMD doesn't care for community support - I have a new bug!!1111".

I would say it's 3.5h from now but Michael said it comes a bit earlier... let's see.
