Highlights Stronger security and content boundaries: group prompt text is kept out of the system prompt, repeated-dot hostnames are normalized, side-effecting command wrappers and unsafe Node runtime env overrides are blocked, no-auth Tailscale exposure is rejected, and node/device-role approvals now require admin authority. ( #87144 , #87305 , #87292 , #87308 , #87146 ) Thanks @eleqtrizit and @pgondhi987 .

openclaw 2026.5.27-alpha.1

Highlights Faster Gateway and replies: startup avoids repeated plugin, channel, session, usage-cost, warning, scheduled-service, and filesystem scans; visible replies separate user-facing sends from slower follow-up work; Gateway runtime/session caches churn less under load. Transcripts are core: transcript-backed meeting summaries, source-provider chunks, cleaned user turns, media provenance, Codex mirrors, WebChat replies, and CLI/TUI replay now use one more reliable transcript path. More channels are production-ready: Telegram keeps typing/progress context and forum topics, iMessage handles...

2026.5.26 Highlights Faster replies and startup: visible reply delivery now separates user-facing sends from slower follow-up work, command/model/plugin metadata is reused on hot paths, and Gateway startup avoids repeated plugin, channel, session, usage-cost, and filesystem scans. Better voice and Talk: realtime Talk runs can be inspected, steered, cancelled, or followed up from Web UI and Discord voice; wake-name handling is more tolerant without letting ambient speech trigger agents.

openclaw 2026.5.25-alpha.1

2026.5.24 Changes iMessage: support thumb-approval reactions — 👍 (Like tapback) resolves an approval as allow-once and 👎 resolves as deny , with the explicit-approver allowlist read from channels.imessage.allowFrom ; allow-always stays on the manual /approve <id> allow-always text fallback. Mirrors the WhatsApp behavior from #85477 . Gateway/perf: reuse process-stable channel catalog reads, avoid repeated bundled-channel boundary checks, and rotate gateway watch CPU profiles so benchmark runs do not accumulate unbounded artifacts. Gateway/perf: cache stable install-record, channel-cata...

2026.5.22 Changes Gateway/perf: reuse process-stable channel catalog reads, avoid repeated bundled-channel boundary checks, and rotate gateway watch CPU profiles so benchmark runs do not accumulate unbounded artifacts. Gateway/perf: reuse immutable plugin metadata snapshots across startup, config, model, channel, setup, and secret metadata readers so hot paths avoid repeated plugin file stats and manifest registry reloads. Gateway/perf: lazy-load startup-idle plugin work, core gateway method handlers, and the embedded ACPX runtime so Gateway health and ready signals no longer wait on unused ha...

Discord: let voice sessions follow configured Discord users into voice channels, with allowed-channel checks, multi-user handoff, bounded reconciliation, and DAVE recovery preservation. ( #84264 ) Thanks @fuller-stack-dev . Discord/voice: include bounded IDENTITY.md , USER.md , and SOUL.md profile context in realtime voice session instructions by default, with ...

Changes Mac app: redesign Settings pages with consistent card layouts, cached navigation, cleaner permissions/voice/skills/cron/exec/debug panes, and steadier spacing around the native sidebar. Skills: rename the repo-local Codex closeout review skill and helper to autoreview while preserving the Codex-first fallback behavior. Skills: add a meme-maker skill for curated template search, local SVG/PNG rendering, Imgflip hosted rendering, and Know Your Meme provenance links.

Changes Providers/xAI: add xAI Grok OAuth login for SuperGrok subscribers, letting xai/* models and xAI media/tool providers authenticate without XAI_API_KEY . CLI/cron: add openclaw cron run --wait with timeout and poll interval controls, plus exact cron.runs --run-id filtering so automation can block on one queued manual run. ( #81929 ) Thanks @ificator . Maintainer tooling: route Crabbox skill defaults through the repo brokered AWS config, leaving Blacksmith Testbox as an explicit opt-in instead of the broad-proof default. CLI/onboarding: localize the setup wizard and bundled channel setup ...

Changes Amazon Bedrock: externalize the Bedrock and Bedrock Mantle provider packages so core installs no longer pull AWS SDK dependencies unless those providers are installed. Plugins: externalize Slack, OpenShell sandbox, and Anthropic Vertex so their runtime dependency cones install only when those plugins are installed. Control UI/WebChat: add a persisted auto-scroll mode selector so users can keep the current near-bottom behavior, always follow streaming output, or turn automatic streaming scroll off and use the New messages button manually. Fixes #7648 and #81287 . Thanks @BunsDev . ACP: ...

Highlights Leaner installs: WhatsApp, Slack, Amazon Bedrock, Anthropic Vertex, and related provider/plugin dependency cones moved out of the core runtime so installs only pull what you use. Telegram got much more resilient: isolated polling, durable local spooling, safer group-media handling, and preserved HTML/Markdown formatting in streamed and scheduled replies. Codex/OpenAI paths are smoother: auth-profile-backed media tools, MCP server projection, context-engine thread rotation, and better app-server/runtime fallback behavior. Plugin installs and updates are harder to wedge, with pnpm 11 ...
