Download page still links to 8.40.x, but my link works. It's about 49MB in size.

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.
