AMD has released, with little fanfare, the beta for 12.9 Catalyst.

It seems mostly to be a general update, with notable inclusions such as support for their new "Enduro" platform, which seems very similar to nVidia's "Optimus" platform. Another thing to note is that it includes support for Linux, specifically Ubuntu 12.10. This is not newly supported, AMD/ATI has almost always had basic Linux support, but it has been very featureless, basic, and outdated for a long time. It looks like they're finally going to be keeping the Linux variant up to date.
