Adobe release Lightroom 3.0 public beta
Adobe have released a public beta of Lightroom 3.0. They are still working on the features and performance, so this version is by no means final. It will work through April 2010 and expire thereafter.
You can download the beta from Adobe Labs

Lightroom 2 supports custom profiles
One subtle Lr 2 update worth mentioning is it supports DNG 1.2 specs. This will allow you to use the DNG Profile Editor to create and tweak profiles and use them in Lr (and Camera Raw 4.5).
You can download the DNG Profile Editor and profiles from Adobe Labs. The editor and the profiles are still in beta, hence why they are only available via Adobe labs at present.

Adobe have published a FAQ here that answers the questions, or not.
