Catalyst 9.3 may have only surfaced some 22 days ago, but AMD isn't resting on its laurels and has today introduced v9.4.
The release, available to download from game.amd.com, introduces auto tuning to ATI Overdrive - allowing ATI Catalyst Control Center to calculate the best overclocked GPU and memory values available on Radeon HD 4000-series graphics cards.
As a result of arriving so soon after Catalyst 9.3, there isn't a whole lot else new but there are a handful of resolved issues - from which a flickering fix for World of Warcraft will be welcomed by the game's huge fan base.
Catalyst 9.4 is available for Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, and a Linux release is on schedule for April 17th. The latter will introduce support for RHEL 5.3 and Ubuntu 9.04.
If you're putting the new drivers to the test, here's the AMD-provided list of what to expect from Catalyst 9.4:

ATI Catalyst™ 9.4 - New ATI OverDrive™ auto-tuning application
