The release notes provide a summary of notable changes since the previous ROCm release.

• Release highlights

• Operating system support

• ROCm components versioning

• ROCm known issues

• ROCm upcoming changes

If you’re using Radeon™ PRO or Radeon GPUs in a workstation setting with a display connected, see the [Use ROCm on Radeon GPUs](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon/en/docs-6.1.3/docs/compatibility/native_linux/native_linux_compatibility.html)
documentation to verify compatibility and system requirements.

Release highlights

The following is the notable improvement in ROCm 6.1.5.

Fixed compatibility issue with third-party profiling tools using ROCprofiler-SDK backend

rocprofiler-register library has resolved the profiling tools compatibility issue where applications potentially failed with the error message rocprofiler_configure not found. Tried to dlopen. This prevents a failure when profiling ROCm 6.1 applications using third-party profiling tools upgraded to use ROCprofiler-SDK in ROCm 6.2.0 or later.

Operating system support

ROCm 6.1.5 no longer supports CentOS 7.9. All other operating system support from ROCm 6.1.2 remains unchanged in this release.

ROCm 6.1.5 requires the native package manager.

See the Compatibility matrix for more information about operating system compatibility.

ROCm upcoming changes

• A future release will enable the use of HIPCC compiled binaries hipcc.bin and hipconfig.bin by default. No action is needed by users; you may continue calling high-level Perl scripts hipcc and hipconfig. hipcc.bin and hipconfig.bin will be invoked by the high-level Perl scripts. To revert to the previous behavior and invoke hipcc.pl and hipconfig.pl, set the HIP_USE_PERL_SCRIPTS environment variable to 1.
• A subsequent release will remove high-level HIPCC Perl scripts from hipcc and hipconfig. This release will remove the HIP_USE_PERL_SCRIPTS environment variable. It will rename hipcc.bin and hipconfig.bin to hipcc and hipconfig respectively. No action is needed by the users. To revert to the previous behavior, invoke hipcc.pl and hipconfig.pl explicitly.
• A subsequent release will remove hipcc.pl and hipconfig.pl for HIPCC.
