// HOW THIS ISSUE IS MADE

We read every release from the 174 tools on our watchlist at the source — GitHub and GitLab release notes, vendor release pages and changelogs, project blogs and feeds, vendor press releases, and the source code behind the tag. Bug-fix-only releases and non-product newsroom noise are dropped; what's left is summarized down to the new capability, how to try it, and any screenshots or videos the release itself published. Every entry links to the sources it was built from.

v0.6.0 NOTES

The open source coding agent.

OpenCode v0.6.0 adds per-provider timeout overrides, --command flag for run, LSP workspace config support, and a new project model replacing app.

└──▷ GET THIS VERSION

$ git clone --branch v0.6.0 https://github.com/sst/opencode.git
# already have the repo? check out this version:
$ git checkout v0.6.0

└──▷ TRY IT

Run a one-shot prompt with a specific slash command without entering the TUI.

$ opencode run --command "/review" "Check this file for security issues"

›Adds --command flag to opencode run for specifying a command directly at invocation.
›Supports per-provider timeout overrides via a new provider timeout configuration.
›Adds LSP workspace/didChangeConfiguration support, enabling dynamic LSP config updates.
›Uses a single Rust LSP server instance across an entire Cargo workspace, improving multi-crate project performance.
›Introduces a project concept (replacing app) with new endpoints to list projects and get the current project.

›Every API endpoint now accepts an optional directory parameter to operate as if OpenCode is running in that directory.
›Plugins now receive directory (cwd) and worktree (git repo root) context.

└──▷ BREAKING ON UPGRADE

!Storage events have been removed.
!The app concept is gone; it is replaced by project, with new endpoints for listing projects and getting the current project.
!The session.chat function in the SDK has been renamed to session.prompt and no longer requires model to be passed in (model is now an object).
!Plugins no longer receive the previous app-scoped context; they now receive directory (cwd) and worktree (git repo root).
