The OpenHands v1.39.0 changelog lists features including an automations dashboard that can be filtered by owner, with an option for service accounts. Chat message timestamps now sit closer to their messages, and Stop hook feedback is kept out of the chat. The Paper theme now prints as aged newsprint, and the verify-openhands tool links Canvas families to Agent Server features.
Bug fixes cover UTC handling for chat resume visibility timestamps, and chat messages are now delivered over HTTP until the session socket is served. Other fixes address the Event Key dropdown in automations, backend profile selection, the setup guide tour, and a UI crash caused by a missing event file. The agent server is bumped to 1.62.0 in this release.
The macOS app is not yet signed with an Apple Developer ID, so macOS may label a downloaded build as damaged. The changelog says this is Gatekeeper quarantine rather than a bad file, and users can clear the flag with xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine after moving the app to Applications. Signing and notarization are tracked in issue #16774.
Why it matters if you build agents
Teams running automations on OpenHands can now narrow the dashboard to a specific owner or to service accounts.
If your agents rely on Stop hook output appearing in the chat, that output is now kept out of it, so read it from the event stream instead.
Pin or check the agent server version if you run it yourself, since this release moves it to 1.62.0.
