Lens 2026.1.161237-latest - Release

Announcements Release Notes
#1

The new Stable release of Lens Desktop is here — featuring Azure Kubernetes Service integration and improvements to Lens Prism. This release also includes UX enhancements driven by community feedback and a range of bug fixes for improved stability.

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 .

Enhancements

  • AKS: Azure Kubernetes Service integration is added to Lens Desktop. You can now easily connect to AKS clusters in Lens.
  • Prism AI: Tool call result and summarization is now improved.
  • Prism AI: Model and Mode selections are now moved to the Message Composer.
  • Prism AI: Added clickable resource links to AI assistant responses.
  • Improved cluster connection handling: Better support for user interactions required for cluster authentication.
  • Improved Keyboard Navigation: Enhanced Keyboard Navigation in Kubernetes Resource Table

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed Inviting New Members in Teamwork after entering email.
  • Fixed an application freeze when right-clicking some navigator menu items.
  • Fixed default namespace not being preselected for new clusters.
  • Fixed opening preferences from the OS menu.
  • Lens now uses the system CAs and proxy settings correctly outside of cluster connection requests.
  • Lens now handles decryption errors correctly.
  • Fixed logs tab not updating when a new Deployment or a Pod is created.
  • Fixed Pod log viewer showing overlapping/garbled text.
  • Details panel now auto-closes when interacting with dock-tab views.
  • “Cluster Search” list now watches the changes in available clusters.

Hi, was hoping to get this fixed, but has the same behaviour as before - not fixed. :expressionless: I’ve got the correct version of lens (2026.1.140649-latest)

Hi @kneuhaus.cc,

thanks for reporting back - We attempted a fix in the last release, but since the team hasn’t been able to reproduce it internally, we’ll need a bit more information from your environment to narrow this down.

Could you please share:

  1. Operating System + version
  • Windows / macOS / Linux (and exact version)
  1. Display / scaling details
  • Screen resolution and scaling (e.g., Windows “Scale” 125%/150%, macOS “More Space”, Linux fractional scaling)
  • If you’re using multiple monitors / different DPI monitors
  1. Where exactly the issue happens
  • Only in the Pod Logs viewer, or also in other text views (e.g., Terminal, YAML editor)?
  • Does it happen immediately, or only after scrolling / resizing / switching tabs?
  1. Steps and a visual
  • Exact steps to trigger it (even if it feels random)
  • A screenshot or short screen recording showing the overlap/garbling

If possible, it would also help a lot if you could attach your Lens logs captured right after it happens:

  • In Lens: Help → Open Logs (attach the corresponding section in log files)

With these details we should be able to reproduce it (or at least identify whether it’s OS/scaling/GPU-related) and get a proper fix in.

Thanks again — we appreciate your patience while we track this down.

Hi @crothmann - as i see my post again now: I’ve quoted the wrong line ( :lying_face: ).
It hat to be:

Fixed logs tab not updating when a new Deployment or a Pod is created.

Details i’ve given here already. Do you need further information for investigating ?
Just let me know. it’s still the same behaviour (i don’t know what changed exactly in the code)

Regards,
Kai
