Adobe released Lightroom 5.3 and Camera RAW 8.3 just a short while ago. Just as with most of these updates the majority of the updates have to do with adding support for new cameras and fixing bugs in the software. If you have CC these updates should be getting kicked out to you soon, if you have anything else you can go to adobe’s website to learn more about updating your software.
