Adobe Labs is the domain of public program testing for Adobe, allowing us glimpses at programs prior to release. Both Lightroom 1 and 2 were available there, and now Camera Raw 4.6 and the associated DNG converter are available from there to download. This is a release candidate version, meaning that it has been internally tested, but needs more testing in the public domain before being released as an automatic update.
New cameras fully supported by this version include Fuji Finepix IS Pro, Nikon D700, Nikon D90 and the Nikon Coolpix 6000. Preliminary (i.e. uncertified) support is provided for Canon Rebel XS, 50D, Olympus SP-565 UZ, Sony A900 and Sigma DP1 (the DP1 support is not finalised).
You can read more from Product Manager Tom Hogarty over at Lightroom Journal, where he made the announcement.

Timothy Armes has updated LR2/Mogrify to version 1.10. This adds the ability to allow up to 3 independent text annotations and fixes a recent bug that prevented the metadata from being copied to the mogrified file. Updates are available from the LR2/Mogrify page.

John Beardsworth has a great link to a photo.net interview with retoucher and digi tech Patrick Lavoie.
“Now that my editing station and the camera are set up and I have defined a workflow with the assistant and have checked in with the photographer, I open Adobe Lightroom (LR). I find this software very versatile and complete and it’s all I need to use during and after a photo session. I used to use Capture One Pro 3.7 before, when it was THE one to use when you shoot tethered or to professionally develop your RAW files, but since the apparition of Lightroom, I don’t use it anymore.”
