I won't go into all of the details, as it's a really long list of new features, but you can find them all here: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/whats-new-lightroom-cc-6-0/ Here are the highlights...
Face Recognition
Lightroom searches your photos for things that look like faces, and displays these faces as a grid, ready for you to identify the people. As you start naming people, Lightroom starts recognizing their facial features and suggesting their names for other faces that look similar, so it's ideal for tagging family and friends.
Obviously it's not as smart as you are, and occasionally it identifies trees as people, suggests wrong names, and misses incomplete or small faces, but if you photograph friends, family and other people you might want to identify, it can save many hours of work (and it's more fun than normal keywording).
Photo Merge - HDR & Panorama
You can now merge photos into HDR images and panoramas without needing to use other software such as Photoshop. This is better than using Photoshop or other software, because the resulting DNG file still has the editing flexibility of the original files, even if they were raw files.
GPU Acceleration for Interactive Editing Performance
Lightroom can use the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) to speed up interactive image editing. This provides real-time or near-time updates to the image while making adjustments in the Develop module using sliders. It makes the world of difference when using high-resolution screens, such as 4K and 5K displays.
I cant see much in it for me so at present I havent downloaded but the HDR features may be useful so no doubt I will be getting it if only for the faster performance.
