Anyone who can give the highlights of interest for image quality and/or speed of workflow in regards to Leica M9..?

I just downloaded and upgraded from 3.0. Was painless and simple nothing was lost. The one download did both Lightroom and the Camera Raw and I can only assume that the new DNG converter came too. Funny thing, the first thing it wanted to do when I started it was to upgrade to 3.2...

Just played with it a little bit yesterday. Haven't noticed any changes in IQ after switching. Still need to print some images to be sure.

Depending on the workflow you use (mine is fairly basic), the fixes brought by this new version may be more substantial.
