Release

• Version: v1.10.0
• Published: 2026-08-05T15:54:34Z
• Release: https://github.com/OpenHands/OpenHands/releases/tag/v1.10.0

Release summary

v1.10.0 changes the Canvas default model to GLM 5.2; adds Activity Log JSON/CSV export, Featured Automations on the home page, Skills facets, and manifest-driven automation Dashboard/Templates pages. It also adopts deployment-derived automation timeout caps, preserves MCP credentials during changes, pins backend identity in conversation links, and includes local-development, dependency, CI, and version-pin maintenance.

Documentation review checklist

• Set Canvas default model to GLM 5.2 (#16146) — Documentation needed. Replace default-model and screenshot references to openhands/minimax-m2.7; do not claim existing-profile migration behavior without confirmation.
• Activity Log export (#16234) — Documentation needed. - [ ] **Activity Log ort from an automation Activity Log, all-run pagination in 500-run chunks, and client-built CSV.
• Manifest-driven automation sub-pages (#16303) — Documentation needed. Update navigation for Dashboard/Templates, overview tiles, filters/sort, run insights, and manifest-dependent route availability.
• Backend identity pinned in conversation links (#16243) — Probably no documentation change. Audit sharing/navigation guidance: recognized backend and optional org URL values are preserved; stale values fall back safely.
• IPv4 loopback proxy targets (#16290) — Probably no documentation change. Local developer implementation fix for IPv6 localhost resolution.
• Preserve MCP credentials during Canvas mutations (#16144) — Documentation needed. State that adding, editing, deleting, or renaming one MCP server preserves unaffected servers’ saved credentials; document only confirmed replace/clear semantics.
• Ignore all /.tmp/ (#16272) — Probably no documentation change. Repository hygiene only.
• Bump TanStack group (#16248) — Probably no documentation change. Dependency maintenance.
• Bump Tailwind group (#16247) — Probably no documentation change. Dependency maintenance.
• Bump Node types (#16255) — Probably no documentation change. Development dependency maintenance.
• Bump testing group (#16252) — Probably no documentation change. Development dependency maintenance.
• Bump GitHub Actions group (#16246) — Probably no documentation change. CI dependency maintenance.
• Bump Monaco Editor (#16254) — Probably no documentation change. Dependency maintenance; audit relevant editor screenshots only.
• Bump Extensions openhands/extensions to 0.16.0 (#16321) — Documentation needed. Coordinate Dashboard/Templates guidance: the published manifest moves the catalog launcher to /automations/templates.
• Require frontend media and human-tested PR checks (#16325) — Probably no public documentation change. Contributor/CI policy only; maintainers may update public contribution guidance.
• Bump agent-server 1.40.1 and automation 1.6.0 (#16334) —

Needs maintainer confirmation. Confirm supported documentation impact for timeout capability, run cost, profile-LLM loading, and the removed standalone automation frontend.

Pull request review

• #16146: Built-in settings defaults change from MiniMax M2.7 to GLM 5.2.
• #16234: Exports retrieve all runs in 500-run pages; CSV is generated in the client.
• #16266: Home displays health-gated enabled automations with trigger/last-run/error information and recent-run cards; active runs poll every three seconds.
• #16124: The type-only Skills control becomes multi-select facets. URL selections are shareable; Category may be unavailable with older catalogs and local skills are other.
• #16303, #16321: A declared manifest enables Dashboard/Templates. In dashboard mode the recommended-automation launcher moves to /automations/templates; without sub-pages, the legacy list remains and Templates is absent.
• #16233, #16334: maxAutomationTimeoutSeconds becomes the effective ceiling where present, with manifest limits clamped below it. Bundled defaults now use agent-server 1.40.1 and automation 1.6.0; the latter also returns run cost.
• #16243: Valid selected-backend URL values take effect before requests; unknown values are ignored.
• #16144: Named MCP endpoints replace whole-catalog reconstruction from redacted state. Rename is atomic and sibling credentials are preserved.
• #16290, #16264, #16272, #16256, #16250, #16248, #16247, #16255, #16252, #16246, #16254, #16249, #16325: Local proxy, dependency/security, ignore-rule, CI, or contributor-workflow changes; no confirmed end-user documentation requirement.

Human testing required

• Default model: On a new Canvas installation/profile, verify GLM 5.2 is both displayed and effectively selected; separately establish existing selected-model behavior before documenting it.
• Activity Log export: Export JSON/CSV for an automation with more than 500 runs. Verify completeness, CSV columns/escaping, browser downloads, and failure feedback when automation service is unavailable.
• Featured Automations: With healthy service and enabled/disabled automations, verify visibility, health/trigger/last-run/error details, links, active-run refresh, empty/narrow layouts, and that th- Featured Automations: With healthy service and enabled/disabled automations, verify visibility, health/trigger/last-run/error details, link/AND-across facets, URLs/reload, counts, invalid values, category fallback, and mobile modal.
• Dashboard/Templates: On a deployment serving 0.16.0 manifests, verify controls, tiles, insights, Templates navigation, and catalog launch. On a deployment without sub-pages, - Dashboard/Templates: On a deployment serving 0.16.0 manifests, verify controls, tiles, insights, Templates navigation, and catalog launch. On a deployment without sub-pages, - **Dashboaramping, and readable server errors.
• MCP credential safety: With two credentialed servers, add/edit/rename/delete one and start new conversations. Verify the other still works, intended credential replacement/clearing works, and errors do not expose secrets.
• Backend-pinned links: With multiple local/Cloud backends and a Cloud organization, open deep links in fresh sessions. Verify selection precedes requests, navigation persists it, and unknown IDs fall back safely.
