OpenClaw released version 2026.9.5, bundling 4,179 pull requests, 64 direct commits and credits to 502 contributing accounts.
Highlights:
- Atomic updates: the next version is validated before switching over
- Plugin hot reload: install plugins without restarting the Gateway
- Conversation sharing and archiving
- Expanded GPT Live in meetings and phone calls
- Shared browser pages you can work on alongside your agent
- Guided specialist-agent setup: a wizard can create a four-agent team (chief of staff, researcher, writer, reviewer); if creation stalls, check openclaw agents list and repair before retrying
The docs also ship plain-Markdown release notes designed for AI agents to consume directly.
