Just came out
Latest is the superlative of late—the most recent in a sequence.
The latest news is whatever just happened.
Have you heard the latest? asks about recent developments or gossip.
The latest fashion is what's currently in style.
At the latest sets a deadline: I need it by Friday at the latest.
