The update is available for Macs running either OS X Lion (10.7.5 or higher) or Mountain Lion (10.8.2 or later). The update is automatically available through Software Update, or users can download the 5MB file directly from Apple's Support Downloads page.
Among the cameras now supported are the Leica D-Lux 6, V-Lux 4 and X2, Nikon's D5200 and the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1. Pentax has four models updated, including the K-5 II, the K-5 IIs, K-30 and the Q. The plugin is compatible with Aperture 3.x and iPhoto '11. A list of all the cameras supported can be found here.
