Where does one find embedded driver release notes?

I see there is a new driver for my MF box.

17.40.2815.1009-180214a-325217c-aes.zip

What I do not find is any sort of release notes hiding nearby or even inside this 540MB file.

How am I supposed to decide whether I should use this, or stick with

17.30.1075-170830a-317566c-aes.zip

Without release notes?

What changed? Will it make my R-series less of a baconator? Will it turn it into a fearsome game machine

(Why the drivers include game adverts for *embedded* hardware is another story.)

To check:

Go to: Drivers & Support

Manually Select Your Driver

Step 1 Select "Embedded Graphics"

Step 2 Select "Radeon Embedded" (only choice here)

Step 3 Select "R-Series 3rd Gen formely codenamed Merlin Falcon

Step 4 Select "Windows 10 - 64 Bit"

Step 5 let's go!

Stare in awe at the complete lack of release notes.

It is also worth pointing out that 17.30.1075 etc has disappeared from the "Previous Embedded GPU and APU drivers"

For what it is worth and to end this particular scenario.

Embedded Graphics

17.40.2815

This driver is *garbage* and crashes more often than not with KMODE BSODs.

Do not use it.
