# AMD ROCm™ v4.5.2 Release Notes
This document describes the features, fixed issues, and information about downloading and installing the AMD ROCm™ software. It also covers known issues and deprecations in this release.
## INSTALLATION GUIDE UPDATES FOR ROCM V4.5.2
In this release, users have the option to install the kernel mode driver using the Installer method. Some of theROCm-specific use cases that the installer currently supportsare:
- OpenCL (ROCr/KFD based) runtime
- HIP runtimes
- ROCmlibraries and applications
- ROCmCompiler and device libraries
- ROCrruntime andthunk
- Kernel mode driver
For more details, refer to the AMD ROCm Installation Guide v4.5.2 at,
https://rocmdocs.amd.com/en/latest/Installation_Guide/Installation_new.html
## HIP ENHANCEMENTS
The ROCm v4.5.2 release consists of the following HIP enhancement.
### Changes to the roc-obj-ls Tool
The roc-obj-ls tool is corrected in ROCm v4.5.2, and the command roc-obj-ls <exe> | roc-obj-extract is no longer the preferred syntax.
Use the roc-obj tool with the following correct command:
```
roc-obj <exe>
```
For example,
Extract all ROCm code objects from a list of executables
```
roc-obj <executable>...
```
Extract all ROCm code objects from a list of executables, and disassemble them
```
roc-obj --disassemble <executable>...
# or
roc-obj -d <executable>...
```
Extract all ROCm code objects from a list of executables into dir/
```
roc-obj --outdir dir/ <executable>...
# or
roc-obj -o dir/ <executable>...
```
Extract only ROCm code objects matching regex over Target ID
```
roc-obj --target-id gfx9 <executable>...
# or
roc-obj -t gfx9 <executable>...
```

## OPENMP DEFECT FIX
Previously, ROCProfiler crashed when the following ROCProfiler options were used in OpenMP programs:
* --stats
* --hsa-trace
This issue is fixed in the OpenMP plugin by ensuring that the contents of a kernel dispatch packet are not accessed after publishing it. The issue is also fixed in ROCTracer by ensuring that the registered exit function is called before runtime library is closed.
