About OpenHands
OpenHands cloud opens up model choice: ACP model picker, multi-model discovery and BYOK land in 1.39
This is the GitHub releases feed for OpenHands (the AI coding agent), mixing hefty cloud release notes with terse version-only tags. cloud-1.39.0 is the substantive one: ACP (Agent Client Protocol) model dropdown plus a switch-model proxy, multi-model LLM discovery with BYOK gating, per-user OAuth for Jira integrations, and a sub-agent task visualizer. The OSS 1.8.0 adds sub-agent delegation, LLM profiles and a generic ACP agent UI. Point releases (1.40.1, 1.38.0, 1.37.x) are CVE bumps, index tweaks and org-plumbing with no user-facing capability change.
