This is the first release since Mirantis took over the lead in the project. The biggest new features are related to the way Lens manages Kubernetes cluster access using kubeconfig files and additional smart terminal configuration options. These features will greatly improve the overall user experience, enhance support for various Open ID providers and make it possible to use Lens in restricted enterprise environments. While working on these features, we also completed massive refactoring to unify the underlying frontend framework to support an extensions API in the future plus a lot of smaller fixes.

Known issues
- Lens 3.6.0 cannot open dashboards for clusters managed by Rancher (the cluster manager) that is running on top of Kubernetes. Read more details about the issue here. We are still working to find a workaround or getting necessary bug fixes in the upstream projects
