If you're in the market for a new camera -- or you've just bought one -- and you want to be able to process raw files on your computer, then Adobe has good news for you. It's just released updates to both Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Camera Raw / DNG Converter adding support for a raft of recently launched or soon-to-ship camera models, as well as one new gimbal-stabilized camera aimed at the aerial imaging market.

All three programs add support for the same list of cameras, as follows:

Canon EOS 80D
Canon Rebel T6 (aka EOS 1300D / Kiss X80)

Nikon

Olympus

Panasonic

Panasonic DMC-CM10
Panasonic DMC-GF8
Panasonic DMC-ZS100 (aka DMC-ZS110 / DMC-TZ100 / DMC-TZ101 / DMC-TZ110 / DMC-TX1)

Camera Raw 9.5 also tweaks several features, and fixes a few bugs, as follows:

Feature changes in Camera Raw 9.5

Camera Raw 9.5 has an updated visual interface designed to align with Photoshop CC and Bridge.
Pressing the Option/Alt key while click-dragging on a perimeter handle of a Radial Filter will adjust only that side of the filter. This change in behavior was made to match Lightroom’s behavior. Previously, Option/Alt-clicking on a Radial Filter in Camera Raw would delete that filter.
Camera Raw Filter now displays the histogram and RGB color readouts using the assigned color space of the corresponding Photoshop document. Previously, Camera Raw Filter always displayed its histogram and RGB color readouts using the ProPhoto color space.
Improve quality of Boundary Warp for some panoramas.

Bug fixes in Camera Raw 9.5

Crash / hang in Camera Raw and DNG Converter on some Mac systems when saving multiple images.
Corruption issue that would prevent DNG images originally created by Parrot Bebop Drone devices from being opened after metadata updates.
EXIF metadata for SIGMA 50mm f/1.4 ART lens on Canon was incorrectly identified as Zeiss Milvus 50mm f/1.4.
