OpenClaw v2026.4.26

April 28, 2026 | GitHub Release

🚀 What's New

Browser Realtime Transport — Google Live browser Talk sessions with constrained ephemeral tokens + Gateway relay for backend-only realtime voice plugins
Cerebras Bundled Plugin — New provider with static model catalog, onboarding, and manifest-owned endpoint metadata
Matrix E2EE Encryption Setup — One-command bootstrap for Matrix encryption, recovery, and verification status
Claude Importer — Migrate Claude Code / Desktop instructions, MCP servers, skills, and prompts into OpenClaw

Memory/OpenAI-compatible: Asymmetric embedding endpoints with inputType, queryInputType, and documentInputType config
Ollama/memory: Model-specific retrieval query prefixes for nomic-embed-text, qwen3-embedding, mxbai-embed-large
Plugin Manifest Normalization: Core no longer carries bundled-provider routing tables — all normalization lives in manifests
Plugin Config Deprecation: Transactional mutation helpers with scanner guardrails, runtime warnings, and revision-based cache invalidation
Plugin Install Hardening: Layered runtime-dependency roots via OPENCLAW_PLUGIN_STAGE_DIR
Control UI: Raw config pending-changes diff panel (JSON5 parsing, sensitive value redaction)
Agents Compaction: Opt-in preflight trigger when active JSONL transcript grows too large

Breaking: Direct plugin config load/write helpers deprecated → use runtime snapshots + transactional helpers
Breaking: Plugin SDK normalization moved to manifests; update manifest declarations
Migration: New bundled Claude importer simplifies switching from Claude Code/Desktop
Security: Matrix E2EE setup flow removes manual bootstrap friction
Voice: Browser realtime transport opens WebRTC-style voice without dedicated infra
