Today Adobe announced the December update to Lightroom with added support for:
Lightroom Classic CC now supports tethered capture with the Nikon D850 DSLR camera (additional information available here). A new version of Camera Raw was also released.
An update to Lightroom 6 for perpetual licensed customers for new camera support will be available on December 19th. This will probably be the final LR standalone release. At that point, it is probably a good idea to download a copy of the latest Lightroom standalone version from this page and keep it for your records as a backup because I am pretty sure that Adobe will remove the download from their website at some point. They have already been trying to "hide" the download link for a while now.
The current Adobe CC plan rates can be found here. You can get a free Lightroom CC trial on this page (no credit card required).

A quick update on my post from last week - Lytro is now considering to open source their light-field photo sharing platform:
Cosina Japan officially announced that the following Zeiss SLR Classic series lenses have been discontinued: 2.8/15, 3.5/18, 2/25, 2/28, 1.4/35, 2/135. Several of the Zeiss Classic lenses are still available for sale in the US, some with a big discount - for example: the Zeiss 135mm f/2 Apo Sonnar T* lens is now $923 off, while the Zeiss Distagon T* 15mm f/2.8 lens is $1,151 off.
Back in 2015 Zeiss replaced their SLR classic lens series with the new Milvus line of lenses specifically designed for digital cameras (DSLRs). Currently, a total of 11 Zeiss Milvus lenses have already been announced.
