Adobe just added RAW support for the Panasonic G5, LX7 and FZ200. While the new update also supports the new Sony NEX and Fuji X cameras there is no support yet for the new Olympus PEN and Panaosnic GH3. Anyway, here are the links to the downloads:
Adobe released Lightroom 4.2: Mac update (Click here), Windows update (Click here)

shame that they still haven’t fixed the bug with using in-camera crop on raw files (like 3:2 on m43 cameras) where you can’t get access to “hidden” sensor area in post.
Doesn’t LR show only the full 4:3 every time when viewing ORF files?
I thought no crop factor influences the raw output aspect ratio.
no, actually there is a bug since lr4 afaik.
the full 4:3 data is in the raw file but lr shows only the part that was chosen during exposure and you can not change that with lr’s crop tool.

Are there any g5 reviews out there?

I have been using LR3 for some time. But after getting an E-M5, I found myself needing to upgrade. As I do not like the import requirement of LR. I have down loaded most of the opposition to try. I have been very impressed with ACDSee pro6. For me and the way I work it is far better than LR and the light adjustment tools leave LR for dead. Proofing looks quite good. Of course everything has a downside and the print module is only just in the usable arena. The templates look like they are from an original basic digital package from about 2000, they are auto rotate and auto resize, no opt out, something that a 43 format cannot handle. Though the contact sheet setting can be modified if one perseveres, but it needs the printers help.
I think I will be giving LR4 a miss.
As an aside. All countries in the world are now metric, yes you Americans you have been for some years. So why do software vendors of technical products (printing!) insist on imperial measurements as their main/home setting?
There are also far more people in the EU than the US so a metric program makes more sense than than an imperial one. Also should be easier to make.
Some even go so far as to allow metric input but change it to their nearest imperial standard, then show the metric equivalent of the imperial. (yes, complicated but it happens).
