BREAKING CHANGES

• Change update build to stop workspaces before starting (#18425, 49fcffc) (@johnstcn)

  ⚠ Modifies the behavior when updating a workspace.
  Previously, a workspace update would triggger a start build, re-creating the agent and updating any existing compute resources in-place. This change has workspace updates explicitly trigger a stop build with a subsequent start build. This was implemented to fix pre-builds and improve consistency. Read more here.

  • CLI: Modifies coder update to stop the workspace if already running.
  • Dashboard: Modifies "update" button to always stop the workspace if already running.

• CLI: enforce selection for multiple agents rather than use randomness (#18427, bacdc28) (@mafredri)

  This only impacts the flow for our new devcontainer integration, and existing users will not see changes to behavior.

Features

We'll be exploring the details of major features included in this release in our first product launch event next week. Subscribe using this link to learn more.

Coder tasks allow users to execute long-running jobs using templates in the Coder dashboard. This is often used to manage agentic tasks with tools like Claude Code. See more in our agentic AI documentation.
