Apple macOS update resolves MacBook Pro (2016) graphics issues

Two months ago there were lots of reports about graphics card issues with the new MacBook Pro 2016 laptops. Among other things, users suffered from issues like the screen flashing in different colors, random red or black bars appearing all over the screen, and unrecoverable crashes. A lot of these issues were linked to Adobe Premiere Pro.

It took quite some time but Apple finally published an update that should resolve graphics issues while encoding Adobe Premiere Pro projects on the new MacBook Pro devices. Additionally, the update also resolves other problems and should improve automatic graphic switching on the 15" MacBook Pro.
