What changed

  • Agent Canvas gets a per-conversation Docker runtime and a new Settings → Runtime page, according to the v1.34.0 release notes.
  • Automations: tags can now be filtered and edited, and custom-script automations can choose their own LLM.
  • Security-related fixes: the session API key is passed to the static server via an environment variable instead of the command line, and untrusted markdown can no longer set rel="opener" or an arbitrary link target.
  • In team orgs the conversation share toggle is now labelled "Share with Org users", and a new conversation can be started in a sidebar row's existing sandbox.
  • Compatibility: the release raises minimumAgentServer to 1.57.0 and bumps @openhands/extensions to 0.36.0 and automation to 1.26.0.
  • The macOS app is still not signed with an Apple Developer ID; the notes give an xattr command to clear Gatekeeper's quarantine flag.

In the source’s words

“pass session API key to static-server via env instead of argv”

Early verdict

Worth upgrading if you run OpenHands Agent Canvas with Docker or use automations; self-hosters should check their agent server is at 1.57.0 or later first.

Basis: Based only on the v1.34.0 release notes; we have not run this version.

What we have not verified

  • We did not install v1.34.0 or try the per-conversation Docker runtime.
  • The release notes do not say whether the session API key change fixes a reported vulnerability.
