LangChain core 1.4.0 exposes a first-class MCP namespace and the Anthropic package adds support for Claude Fable 5.1, while OpenHands splits automation permissions and Cline's desktop app now runs shared Hub plugins.

LangChain core 1.4.0 ships with a new `langchain.mcp` namespace and an `MCPAdapter` feature, bringing MCP integration into the default package [1]. "feat(langchain): `langchain.mcp` namespace, `MCPAdapter`" is part of the release. The same release includes a fix so agent tool routing now includes the model destination, which previously could mis-route tools when using multiple destinations.

langchain-anthropic 1.7.1 adds Claude Fable 5.1 support and, together with core, omits middleware trace inputs for a performance gain [2]. The model profile data refresh adds 4 models and changes 11 across 4 providers, including the Fireworks AI `deepseek-v4-flash-vision-exp` with a 1,000,000-token context window [3].

OpenHands splits automation permissions into view and manage, and adds a creator escape hatch so the automation creator retains override capability [4]. The i18n budget usage format now uses proper i18next placeholders across all 15 locales [5].

Cline Desktop v0.0.23 adopts the shared Hub for Agent Plugins: packages under `~/.agents/plugins` are validated, their skills become available, and their MCP servers start automatically [6]. The CLI TUI toasts now wrap instead of clipping after the first line, so the keep-Hub reminder reaches the 'cline hub upgrade' instruction it exists to deliver [7].

"Give the box an explicit width (message length plus border and padding, capped..." [7]
