Highlights

Apps beta — Canvas Extensions is now called Apps in Agent Canvas. Manage trusted custom pages in Customize > Apps; the Canvas Extensions API and canvas-extension.json format remain unchanged. See Apps (Beta).
Local Plan Mode Enabled — Plan, refine, and build from a plan on a self-hosted or local Agent Server backend.
Conversation tags and filtering — Add tags from a conversation row menu, show tag chips, and filter the conversation list by tags or automation name. See Conversations.
Cloud LLM provider connections — Cloud backends with an organization can manage and select shared provider connections in LLM settings.

Improvements and Fixes

Workspace hooks in .openhands/hooks.json now load automatically when you start a local Agent Canvas conversation. See Hooks.
Self-hosted deployments can opt out of product telemetry with AGENT_CANVAS_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 (or true) or the --disable-telemetry runtime flag.
Automation permissions now distinguish viewing from managing automations. Users with view-only access can still manage automations they created.
