About OpenHands
OpenHands Cloud ships a fast release train of org, auth, and agent-plumbing work.
This is a real changelog: the OpenHands Cloud line is shipping near-daily point releases (1.39 through 1.43) heavy on enterprise and org plumbing — SMTP email, super-admin and user-provisioning endpoints, org conversation admin, default-org auto-add — plus agent-facing work like semantic file chunking via tree-sitter and an agent-pause interrupt UI. Titles are version-only, so the substance sits in the release bodies.
