Topic: Evolving of Mathlib

Hi all, thanks for your contributions to the community.
I was using Mathlib 4.18.0 before, and I realized that over the last 6 months, it has evolved to Mathlib 4.25.0-rc2. I'm wondering about the changes. I was told that there are more than 200k theorems in the library now, but when I was testing previously, the statistics showed around 130k.
I want to know where I can find these numbers and new statistics for the newer version of Mathlib. Thanks for your help!

There is a stats page here: https://leanprover-community.github.io/mathlib_stats.html

Mathlib 4.18.0 is my most favorite version!

What's special about 4.18.0?

I use it mainly for my research, because the dataset I'm using is built based on Lean 4 and Mathlib 4.18.0. I think that when the Mathlib updated, potentially these dataset/benchmarks need to be updated as well, is it? Also, I have to say, something building the environment is painful!

If you mean "building mathlib is painful" then do you know about lake exe cache get
Beryl Zhang (Nov 13 2025 at 15:41):
not only mathlib, I mean the whole Lean environment, and other library dependencies. But probably that's just our machine/server is not good :joy:

It was the last stable version that contained LinearOrderedField and similar classes.
