Adobe Camera RAW 5.4 Release Candidate has been released: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Camera_Raw_5.4
At the bottom it says that the release includes new DNG Compatibility conversion options and that these choices help address the additional options available with an upcoming revision of the DNG Specification.
Camera Raw 2.4 and later: The DNG file will be readable by Camera Raw 2.4 (Photoshop CS) and later, and Lightroom 1.0 and later
Camera Raw 4.1 and later: The DNG file will be readable by Camera Raw 4.1 (Photoshop CS3) and later, and Lightroom 1.1 and later. The DNG file will often be readable by earlier versions, depending on the camera model
Camera Raw 4.6 and later: The DNG file will be readable by Camera Raw 4.6 (Photoshop CS3) and later, and Lightroom 2.1 and later. The DNG file will often be readable by earlier versions, depending on the camera model
Camera Raw 5.4 and later: The DNG file will be readable by Camera Raw 5.4 (Photoshop CS4) and later, and Lightroom 2.4 and later. The DNG file will often be readable by earlier versions, depending on the camera model
What would be the disadvantage of using Camera Raw 2.4 and later for everything?
