Downloaded the new LR5 Beta for a play.

And was totally underwhelmed...is that it? hardly seems a new release worth! They could have at least refreshed the interface (a bit) to make it look like new release.

(not sure quite what I was expecting though..)

Guess plenty has gone on under the bonnet

In reply to ChrisJD:

The updated healing brush is a pretty big deal. 'Smart previews' also seem pretty useful

In reply to ChrisJD:

I respectfully disagree, I love:

The updated spot removal tool
Perspective adjustment
Smart previews
Radial filters

I'll be upgrading.

In reply to ChrisJD: It also seems to be much better multi threaded which is a big deal for me. The radial filters are nice, not anything you couldn't do before but just a bit easier and quicker.
