Lightroom 6.9 and CC 2015.9 were released today with support for new cameras, new lens profiles, bug fixes, and improved error messages for syncing to Lightroom mobile (CC only). There are otherwise no new features in these free updates to 6 and CC.
If Lightroom doesn’t prompt you to update, go to Help>Updates, or click on the Update button on the Apps tab of your Creative Cloud app, or download the update file from one of these links and then double-click on the file to run the installation wizard: Mac Windows .
Lightroom Mobile Sync Error Information (CC Only)
The Sync Activity section on the Lightroom mobile tab of Preferences now gives information on why images have failed to sync. Clicking on any image in the list will select that image in the Library module. To access Preferences, go to Lightroom (Mac) or Edit (PC) > Preferences. At the bottom of the Lightroom mobile tab, if there is a sideways triangle to the left of “Sync Activity”, click on it to expand the section.

Bug Not Yet Fixed – Side Panels Go Black
There was a bug in 6.8 / CC 2015.8 on Mac Sierra that for some users caused the side panels to turn black intermittently. This bug has not yet been fixed. You can resolve this by hiding and then showing the Lightroom application, switching from Library (G) to Develop (D) and back, or restarting Lightroom. If, however, you experienced this, found it intolerable and reverted back to 6.7 / CC 2015.7 – and if this helped – then you may want to wait for Lightroom 6.10 / CC 2015.10 before updating. (This said, I have since been told by Adobe that they can reproduce this issue in 6.7 and earlier versions of Lightroom as well, so there’s no guarantee that reverting would help.) If you had no issues with this in 6.8 / CC 2015.8, I wouldn’t expect you to in this new update either.
