So please do not expect any more updates.\n\n# OpenLens Build Repo\n\n##  Build Repo Only\nThis repo **ONLY PROVIDES SIGNED BINARIES AND DOES NOT ALTER SOURCE CODE** for the OpenLens repo. For software issues regarding OpenLens or the Lens IDE, go to the [Lens repo](https://github.com/lensapp/lens/issues) and open an issue there.\n\n## Extensions\n\nStarting with 6.3.0 some extensions are removed from Lens. To install these most used extensions simply type **@alebcay/openlens-node-pod-menu** into the Extensions page in the OpenLens menu and it should install automatically. If you see the extension rapidly toggling between `enabled` and `disabled`, restart OpenLens and enable it in the Extension page.\nFor sources please refer [here](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@alebcay/openlens-node-pod-menu)\n\n## Overview\n\nThis is the Binary Build Repo for the [Lens repository](https://github.com/lensapp/lens.git) aka **OpenLens**. This build only includes the open source part of the Lens IDE and does not require login. This repo was created due to lensapp/lens#5444.\n\nDownload and use as is. If you have trouble about not seeing pod logs, remove old config files / extensions remaining from old Lens app.\n\nAuto Updater is now live starting with every binary downloaded with the `Latest` tag or the corresponding release assets.\n\n### OpenLens vs Lens IDE\nParaphrasing from the [OpenLens README](https://github.com/lensapp/lens#readme)\n\n#### OpenLens\nThe [OpenLens repository](https://github.com/lensapp/lens.git), is where Team Lens (Mirantis) develops the [Lens IDE](https://k8slens.dev/) product together with the community.
