Lens 2025.5.81206-latest - Release

Announcements Release Notes
#1

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 .

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Hotbar Cluster Label: Each item in the hotbar now displays a label to differentiate them.
  • New Dark Theme Colors: Adjusted colors to increase contrast.
  • Consistent Tabs Width: The tabs of the main view have a consistent width to improve usability.
  • New Metrics Events: Added events for Pod starting and Pod termination to Metrics charts.
  • Highlighted Kube Object: When a kube object is selected in a table it’s now highlighted.
  • Event Timestamps: Events in the Metrics chart now display the event timestamp to help with debugging.
  • Improved Metrics Labels: The labels for the Metrics chart were improved to make them easier to understand.
  • Hotbar Cluster Settings: Cluster settings were added to the Hotbar context menu to make them more convenient to be opened.
  • Increased Default Font Size: The default font size is now increased to 14px.
  • Faster Connection Speed: The cluster connection was improved to make connections faster.
  • Improved Node Values Format: The Node Capacity and Allocatable values are now formatted better.

Bug Fixes

  • Improve pod warning icon.
  • Custom Resources view now correctly displays newly added CRDs, even if none were present during initial cluster connection.
  • Always display x axis labels when zoomed in.
  • Add missing sorting columns for all resource tables and columns.
  • Avoid unnecessary Trivy detections.
  • Don’t display ECONNRESET error dialog after computer resumes from sleep.
  • Fix tooltip showing repeated “null” warnings in Workloads.
  • Use OS certificates and proxy configuration for Teamwork requests.
  • Ensure last log is fully visible.
  • Electron updated to 35.2.1.
  • Fixed certain CronJob cron formats crashing Lens.

Note: this release on Ubuntu requires version 22.04 or newer since 20.04 reached EOL in May, 2025. If you’re using 20.04 or an older version of Linux, you can download the previous release from these links:

Hey
Is there an option to disable/hide the Hotbar Cluster Label?

After upgrading to this version, my Lens App was always stuck in the loading screen. After downgrading, it returned to normal.

M4 Pro MBP, macOS 15.4.1

#6

I can’t edit my post but the repo also does not contain previous versions (it probably should?) so can’t just do a rollback either.
‘dnf history rollback’ is a lot easier than all the manual work required now.

#7

I am also seeing the GLibC error on Redhat 8.10.
Any RH8 based distro will only have glibc 2.28 and the download page specifically mentions 8 and up.
So that should be saying 9 and up or the software should be reverted ?

#8

Thanks, we will update the documentation.

Also, we now have a table listing the supported versions here: Install Lens Desktop - Lens Documentation
