It adds background subagents and async shell commands for parallel orchestration, promotes a stabilized hot-reloadable plugin system (80+ internal plugins now power core features), and ships a standalone @opencode/sdk for embedding OpenCode in custom servers or environments like Durable Objects. The release includes breaking changes: 1.0 plugins are incompatible, the server API is rewritten, and config file locations moved, with a migration doc and upgrade command provided. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
