For full details, along with a list of the new lens profiles added see Adobe's Lightroom Journal blog.

Incidentally, for those wondering, the improved detail rendering for Fuji X-Trans files that Adobe said that they're working on back in June, hasn't materialised in this update, I'm afraid.

Speaking of which, if you haven't seen it already and you're a Fuji X-Trans shooter and lightroom user, don't forget to check out my new guide to post processing X-Trans files in Lightroom.
