Lens 2025.4.92142-latest - Release#

Release Date: April 10, 2025

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 the website.
