OpenHands v1.6.0 Changelog

This update is all about giving you more control over your workspace and making the chat experience smoother. It matters to anyone who uses OpenHands to code, because you can now reset your conversations without losing your setup, customize how the AI behaves, and trust that your chats are saved correctly.

What's new

• Hooks support: "Hooks" are like automatic triggers. You can set them up so the AI does specific actions on its own when certain things happen.
• Catalan language: The interface now supports Catalan for users who speak it.
• The /clear command: Typing /clear in the chat wipes the current conversation history but keeps your "sandbox" (the background environment where your code runs) and settings exactly as they are. It's perfect for starting a clean slate without losing your work.
• Copy button for code: You now have a simple copy button to grab code from the chat instead of having to highlight it manually.
• Toggle default skills: You can now turn the built-in "global skills" (the AI's standard abilities) on or off whenever you want.
• The /new command: A quick new shortcut to start a new conversation right from the command menu.

Fixes

• Lost conversations: Fixed a bug where your chats would sometimes just disappear and not save properly.
• Duplicate exports: Fixed the "Export Conversation" feature, which was accidentally copying your chat events over and over again when you tried to save them.
• Security updates: Fixed several security vulnerabilities (known as CVEs) by updating the software's underlying pieces.
