    Barring any major economic or natural disasters, Adobe is likely to release a next version. Major versions get released every one to two years if you look in history. Version 6 was April 2015. v5 June 2013 so it's unlikely to happen before summer. Adobe might also decide to do away with the standalone versions altogether and then we'll never see a v7 but we'll see a CC 2016 or similar.

    Bottom line is we don't know and if people here knew they wouldn't be able to tell you.

    well.... lightrooms noise reduction and the overall demosaicing is outdated.

    other raw converter are showing adobe the backlights.

    so i hope adobe gets it´s stuff together and focuses on the desktop app in the future.

    or maybe adobe is now just trying to get the smartphone users to pay for subscription so they can use the crappy adobe mobile apps.

    i doubt that will work out.....

    I wish adobe and others software companies going to subscription based plans understood not everyone lives in a city with access to fast internet with unlimited downloading.  I think when I'm ready to upgrade I'll have to look into other editing programs.  It makes me really sad.  I've always loved Adobe, but it appears they are not listening to some of their customer's needs.  I guess they are big enough, that they don't care about the customers who don't have access.  I'm very happy for all of you who are able to use the subscription based plan.  How wonderful for you, but I do wonder what are the rural customers supposed to do?

    Fortunately, for Lightroom, it's still possible to order a disc of Lightroom 6, without a subscription, from several stores such as Amazon and B&H. If you live in an area without good Internet access, you can simply order the disc and have it shipped to you.

    Doesn't matter for me CC or 7. I need:

    * drastic performance improvement for my top of the line PC. :/  LR is slow for both 30 and 50 MPs

    * And better GPU utilization.  :/

    * And should we mention the better/sharper conversion of RAW files from C1? ;-)

    With C1 and ON1 RAW things get pretty serious.

    There has been no indication that there will not be a Lightroom 7. You will just have to wait and see what is offered in the future. Adobe does not make such announcements ahead of time.
