Lean 4.11.0
We're delighted to announce that a new release of Lean, version 4.11.0, is now available. As usual, we've made a number of improvements to Lean's internals, and Lean 4.11 is more predictable, more responsive, and more reliable than prior versions. The improvements range from getting the details of hovers on parentheses just right to better debugging tools for proof automation developers to large performance increases to certain subsystems in Lean's internals. There is no way for this post to capture all of the hard work that's gone into the more than 250 separate commits that have been made to Lean's since the last release—please refer to the official release notes for a complete accounting, or read on for a selection of highly-visible improvements.

Lean 4.7.0
Lean 4.7.0 has been released! While this release includes the usual collection of quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes, the most noticable change is that a large part of
Read moreStd, the external standard library, is included with Lean. Not only does this help with discoverability, it also enabled us to integrate these features more tightly into the rest of the language. In the next few releases, we'll continue to upstream data structures, tactics, proofs, and language features in order to make the out-of-box experience of using Lean as pleasant as possible. -
Lean 4.8.0
Lean 4.8.0 has been released!
Version 4.8.0 is a very big release, containing more than 370 separate improvements. There is no way for a single post to do justice to all of the hard work that has been put into this release. Many of the improvements have served to make Lean faster and more robust, but will be only visible because the whole system feels snappier and reliable. On the other hand, there were also a large number of directly visible enhancements—read on for some highlights!
