MDT 2013 Update 2 was released recently. You can download the installation from the Microsoft Download Center here

There aren’t any new features in Update 2, it’s basically a fix release.

Here’s a summary of the fixes from the MDT Team blog

    • Updated hash algorithm usage from SHA1 to SHA256
  • Includes the latest Configuration Manager task sequence binaries
  • Enhanced user experience for Windows 10 in-place upgrade task sequence
