As for the general tendencies, the programmers from AMD graphics division who are responsible for Catalyst drivers and Catalyst Control Center development are evidently focusing their main efforts on improving the performance of the CrossFireX technology, although single-GPU solutions also get some. Moreover, they keep fixing a lot of small and not very small issues in the new Catalyst and CCC versions, and even though these issues are not fatal, they are in fact pretty annoying. All of the fixes are described in detail in the driver release notes and it is certainly a great thing.
