Is there a place where we can see changes, preferably with lens names? 

I have some lenses for which data is missing, most important for me a Canon 
EF-S 15-85, for which I downloaded a profile from the internet. It would be 
nice to be able to see if it appears in the library, in whihc case I might 
remove my custom profile.
