OpenCode published 2.2.0 on October 27, 2026. Its desktop plugin support and image/decision generation APIs are explicitly experimental.
Extend the desktop and session
Plugins can create and update keyed session instructions without replacing the whole system prompt. Entries survive compaction and reverts, and do not trigger an additional model turn. Provider/model prompt-cache retention becomes configurable.
Breaking changes to check
The opencode AI package root now exposes the Promise API, while the Effect API moves to its own entry point. The old promise subpath is removed. TUI plugins must move to OpenTUI 0.7, and the OpenCode GitHub Action is no longer published.
The separate 1.19.5 branch fixes failed TUI-worker requests leaving callers waiting. It is included as a maintenance note, not another launch.
Review integrations before upgrading. Experimental APIs are not universal provider support, and no independent cache-efficiency or coding benchmark is claimed.
