We are happy to announce a new Stable release for Lens Desktop that addresses multiple bugs and offers a new set of features as a response to the valuable feedback we have gathered from our community.
To ensure a smooth transition and minimize disruption we’ll start by rolling out the update to a small portion of our users, then incrementally increasing this number until all users have access to the update. If you have not received the update and wish to try it out, you can download this version manually at our website .

- Binary Integrity Checks: Introduced checks to assert integrity of binary files on execution.
- Prometheus Path Prefix: Added a configuration option to define a custom path prefix for Prometheus metrics.
- Easier Cluster Customization: Enabled cluster appearance customization through the context menu.
- Improved Navigation History: The navigation history now includes details panels.
- Navigator Styling: Adjusted background color to improve Navigator styling and visual consistency.
- Table Styling: Adjusted row heights to improve table readability.
