Lens Release 2026-04-14 - Release

The new release of Lens Desktop is here.

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.

Features

  • The onboarding wizard has been redesigned with a new two-panel layout, making it easier to set up Lens for the first time
  • Dialogs and modals throughout the app have been updated with improved headers, close buttons, and a cleaner overall layout

Bug Fixes

  • Re-auth loading spinner misaligned on cluster item in sidebar
  • Lens now gracefully recovers from migration issues during startup and notifies you when a recovery has occurred
  • AKS integration fails to connect on AAD-only clusters after upgrade
  • Lock icon size inconsistency between AKS and EKS clusters in sidebar
  • Azure AKS SSO login fails in Firefox (blank page) due to open package newInstance flag
  • Active repositories now properly reload after adding a custom Helm repository
