New pre-release client v2.9013-498

[alpha]

Not sure how we missed this one gang! Been around for several days by the looks of things. First things first, the download page is here (http://www.distributed.net/download/prerelease.php).

OK, changes (only one!):



new: x86: Added new AMD optimized OGR core, selected for AMD CPUs

The performance increase looks to be about 5% between the previous preferred core and the new one.

DEPLOY! :clap:
