The latest version (2014) of this format is covered under Extended Gerber, or RS-274X specification replacing the previously used RS-274-D. But the file extensions are still the same.
Most PCB design programs have a large support for various gerber formats, including .gbr files.
Gerber formats can be usually converted between various formats, so they can be used in another PCB software.
