AMDVLK 2020.Q2.5 is out today as the newest snapshot of this open-source official AMD Radeon Vulkan driver for Linux systems.

Now supported by AMDVLK 2020.Q2.5 is vkGetDeviceQueue2, speeding up CmdCopyImageGraphics, and the VK_COMPOSITE_ALPHA_PRE_MULTIPLIED_BIT_KHR capability within supportedCompositeAlpha.

Plus there are a number of fixes in AMDVLK 2020.Q2.5 including the fixing of RandR lease display handling, driver crashes when the base pipeline handle receives an invalid value, a null pointer crash in the GPU profiler, and timezone handling mucking up the in-game clock.
