Source note: LemonLoader is independent. Project-specific facts below are limited to information published by the LemonLoader repository, releases, or wiki; general troubleshooting advice is identified by context.
Current verified status
GitHub marks LemonLoader 0.6.5.1 as the latest release on the main LemonLoader/MelonLoader repository.
What changed
- Dependency provider changed.
- Unity China support was added to the installer.
- The installer working directory moved for Meta Quest-related reliability.

- Unity version detection and split APK repacking received fixes.
- Patched APK saving and unpatched-app restoration received fixes.
Scope of this release
The release note explicitly calls this an installer-only update and says core LemonLoader development is still ongoing slowly. That distinction matters when interpreting the version number.
Asset details
The GitHub page lists five assets, but this site does not copy file names, sizes, or checksums when they are not reliably exposed in the source snapshot used to build this site. Open the release page to see the current assets directly.
Version numbers need context
A release number alone does not explain what changed. Read whether the notes describe core LemonLoader changes, installer changes, dependency changes, or narrow bug fixes. The 0.6.5.1 page is a good example because it explicitly characterizes the release as installer-only.
When documenting an older version, link to its exact tag rather than copying a version table from another site. Tags preserve the associated notes and assets together, which makes later auditing much easier.
When an old version is appropriate
Use an older release only when you have a concrete compatibility or regression reason and can still verify its source. “Older is safer” and “newest always works” are both poor assumptions. Keep the target app version and loader version paired in your notes so you can reproduce a working combination.
Recommended next step
For a clean path through the project, use the verified download page, follow the installation guide, and keep the logging guide available for troubleshooting.
