What’s New in Lightroom CC 2015.9 / 6.9?

Lightroom CC 2015.9 and Lightroom 6.9 have been released today, with new camera/lens support and bug fixes for everyone. (For the update links, skip to the end of the post.)

So what else is new?

There’s better error reporting for sync errors. If you click on the Sync Status in the Identity Plate, it opens the Sync Progress section of the Preferences dialog. If you click on some errors, it even displays a possible cause.

Lightroom mobile for iOS and Android were also both updated yesterday, adding raw HDR capture on both operating systems (specific devices only) and local adjustments on Android too. You can read more about the changes here.
