What changed
- Automations setup: the setup choice modal now reflects the connection state of the built-in integration. This is the only item listed under Features.
- Cloud LLM selection: a Cloud member can now pick the LLM profile on the home page. A related agent-profiles fix keeps the
defaultrules local and saves home LLM picks on Cloud. - Sidebar: the conversation list refreshes when a cloud start task is ready, and the Getting started checklist is hidden on a canvas locked to a Cloud host.
- Canvas: workspace grouping is now persisted through server-side conversation tags.
- Smaller fixes: Azure DevOps repositories link to their
_gitpage, the default primary color is white, and the web bridge again requires explicit opt-in.
The release notes also include a macOS caveat: the app is not yet signed with an Apple Developer ID, so a downloaded build may be called "damaged" by Gatekeeper. The notes give an xattr command to clear the quarantine flag and say signing and notarization are tracked in OpenHands/OpenHands#16774.
Questions
Is v1.30.0 a large release? The release notes list one feature, several bug fixes, one docs item and some maintenance. It reads as an incremental update.
Does it change the license? The sources do not mention a license change. The repository page reports MIT through the GitHub API.
Do I need to do anything on macOS? Per the release notes, if macOS calls the downloaded build "damaged", move the app to Applications and clear the quarantine flag once with the given command.
