As reported on Scott Kelby’s blog, Lightroom 2.1 Release Candidate is available for download from Adobe Labs. This newest release addresses a number of bugs and performance issues some users were experiencing. It also has the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw.
”The ‘release candidate’ label indicates that this update is well tested but would benefit from additional community testing before it is distributed automatically to all of our customers. The Lightroom team would like the community to help verify the quality of this update through normal usage as this will ensure that the application is tested on a diversity of hardware and software configurations not available internally at Adobe.
