and from the User to User Forum Tom Hogarty posts:
I have removed the Lightroom 1.4 update from Adobe.com. Although you will still see references to the update on various pages, the download links have been removed from the download page. Details on the reason for this change are provided in the blog post below.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and the team greatly appreciates all of the very succinct feedback provided on this forum over the weekend.

    Its quite simple to reinstall the older version (just run installer, that's it).

    The bug is somewhat rare, affecting only users working with DNG files that are also writing back the XMP to the DNG. Even then, it appears to be somewhat benign but not worth taking the risk, just wait on LR 1.4.1.

    I believe if you don't use Auto Save to XMP or otherwise Save to XMP and don't use DNG you need not go back to 1.3.1.

    If you are on a Mac, don't go back.

    You can use DNG Converter 4.3.1 to 'fix' any DNG's messed by LR 1.4 on a PC. Then go back to 1.3.1 till a newer LR vesion comes out.

    OR use the update command for DNG JPEG previews and Metadata. But at some point, you really do want to update both, and considering that 1.4 was itself mostly bug fixes (and support for a few newer cameras that probably doesn't apply to many users), its probably best not to stick with 1.4. Knowing Adobe, a 1.4.1 will be out, real soon.
