Adobe Labs has released the latest version of ACR6, Adobe Camera RAW 6.1, for Photoshop CS5.
There are updates for more cameras, the latest quality improvements, and most importantly to many of us, new Lens Correction updates.
One of my favorite new features of Photoshop CS5 is Lens Correction which is now updated in this latest ACR6 plugin release.

ACR has improved image processing, better noise characteristics, and Lens Correction built in. It is much improved in my estimation.
