The July 2013 cumulative updates for both server and client (CU2) are now available for download. This update delivers the following new features:

• IM Mute
• Question and Answer (Q&A) Capability in Meetings (remember this from Live Meeting?)
• Inline Images within IMs (so you can paste photos straight into Lync)
• Meetings Tab (so you can see your Lync meetings from directly in the client)

Richard Brynteson does a great job of showing these new features including screenshots.

You can download your flavour (e.g. 32-bit or 64-bit) of the client here and the server side bits here.

One thing to note when updating the server side if you have database mirroring configured. Previously you needed to break the mirroring for the Application databases (CPS, RGS) and recreate them after the database update was applied. This is no longer necessary in CU2.
