# 0.87.0

Released on 2025-07-28.

## Upgrade Instructions

* [Python SDK](/getting-started/registration_installations#platform-version-updates)
* The IDE upgrades automatically.

## Enhancements

* [Concatenations](https:///qmod-reference/language-reference/quantum-variables/#concatenation-operator)
  can now also be used as [control](https:///qmod-reference/language-reference/statements/control/)
  expressions.
* Added the functions `lcu` and `lcu_pauli` for creating the Linear Combination of Unitaries primitive (LCU).
* IBM Cloud is now available. See [Cloud Providers](https:///user-guide/execution/cloud-providers/) section in the user guide.
* The default optimization level in the synthesis preferences has been changed from `OptimizationLevel.HIGH` (3)
  to `OptimizationLevel.LIGHT` (1). For more information about optimization level
  see the [optimization level](https:///user-guide/synthesis/preferences/#optimization-level) section in the user guide.

## Fixes

## Bug Fixes

* Fix a synthesis bug that causes, in some cases, the function under power to have
  a separate power for each function, instead of sharing it as a whole.
* Fix a failure in hardware-aware synthesis of parametric models for the
  `Azure Quantum` provider.
* Fix a bug in `get_hf_state` when using qubit tapering.

## Visualization

### Introducing "Variables View"

A new compact visualization mode that displays quantum variable flow at a higher level perspective. Toggle between this streamlined view and the traditional qubit grid overlay using the Variables View switch in the visualization menu bar.”

## Classiq Studio

### Memory monitor

A new memory monitoring feature that tracks and displays resource usage during Classiq Studio Usage, providing real-time insights into memory consumption patterns.
