This release is a minor maintenance update. It doesn't add any flashy new features for everyday users, but it matters to the developers and testers who work on OpenHands. By fixing a testing glitch and adding a new way to check their code, the team is making sure the software stays reliable and bug-free.
Fixes
- Fixed a testing mix-up: When developers run automated tests using a "mock LLM" (a fake version of the AI brain used so tests run faster without using real AI), the system was accidentally trying to use browser tools. This update turns off the browser tools during those fake tests so they run smoothly without getting stuck.
Improvements
- Added a smarter way to test the code: The team added a tool called Stryker. It's a "mutation testing" tool that purposely makes tiny changes to the code to see if the tests actually catch the mistakes. If a test still passes when the code is broken, the developers know they need to write a better test!
Breaking changes
