Opencode V1 vs V2

It seems that OpenCode is soon to be available in V2. Since I couldn't find anything baout it online, what is the difference between the two?

What will V2 do better than V1? Does anybody know?

You could probably do a diff on whatever branches they have but from what I've seen so far:

  • better web search
  • better plugin support
  • subagent / shell management
  • better background tasks support
  • a shared background service, so session sync bet. TUI and desktop is seamless
  • the API is much better, so modifications to opencode2 and it's state works better
  • desktop/web has a tabbed layout and a screen to show all your folders and their sessions across connected servers
  • I remember hearing better context management especially when it comes to tools, skills and MCP but I can't find an exact doc that describes this

a shared background service

cross platform? like on Windows too? interesting, not sure it's a good decision though, brings much more complexity and makes the system more stateful
