Updated 1 min read
Summary
Agent Radar 2026-11-10: OpenHands 1.38 runs automations from agent profiles; Goose 1.58 adds a context viewer and providers. Plus OpenHands alternatives.
Agent Radar tracked two launches as of 2026-11-10, covering the window 2026-11-03 to 2026-11-10 for tools we have not written about this week. Preview, nightly, alpha, dev and release-candidate builds were left out.
At a glance
| Launch | Tool | Released | What changed |
|---|---|---|---|
| OpenHands 1.38 lets automations run from agent profiles | OpenHands | 2026-11-10 | Automations from agent profiles; export keeps script bundles; budget meters; Docker fails fast on bad mounts; agent-server 1.61.0 |
| Goose 1.58 adds a context viewer and three providers | Goose | 2026-11-09 | Context window viewer; Lemonade, AIHubMix and RouterPlex providers; scheduled runs use recipe settings; 1.58.1 compaction and Databricks OAuth fixes |
What changed
- OpenHands admins can now edit other users' automations: check who holds the admin and owner roles on shared instances before upgrading.
- Self-hosted OpenHands fails louder: the container exits non-zero when the agent-server hangs, and unwritable bind mounts stop startup instead of failing later.
- Goose users should land on 1.58.1: it fixes a compaction prompt a Claude model refused and refreshes Databricks OAuth tokens early. ACP integrators lose the client-delegated developer tools.
Questions
Does the OpenHands macOS app install cleanly?
Not yet. The app is unsigned, so Gatekeeper may call it damaged; the release notes give the xattr command that clears the flag.
What can replace OpenHands if I do not want to run a server? Our new guide, OpenHands alternatives, sorts Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Cline, Goose and Aider by workflow. More options are in the coding agents category.
