OpenClaw v2026.4.14 Released — GPT-5.4 Routing Fixes, Slack Security Hardening, 80+ Bug Fixes

OpenClaw shipped version 2026.4.14 yesterday, and the community reception has been immediate and positive. With over 80 bugs resolved, targeted GPT-5.4 routing improvements, and notable Slack security hardening, this release is being called a “production-ready milestone” by practitioners who’ve been running OpenClaw in demanding environments. The GPT-5.4 Routing Fix The most talked-about change in this release: smarter GPT-5.4 routing and recovery. Previous versions had a frustrating failure mode — when GPT-5.4 returned reasoning-only responses (a consequence of its extended thinking chains), OpenClaw would sometimes surface those empty outputs to users instead of recovering gracefully. ...

OpenClaw v2026.3.22: ClawHub Plugin Marketplace, 48-Hour Sessions, and GPT-5.4 Support

OpenClaw shipped v2026.3.22 today, and it’s the biggest release the platform has seen in months.

OpenClaw v2026.3.22: ClawHub Plugin Marketplace, 48-Hour Agent Sessions, GPT-5.4 Support, Security Hardening

OpenClaw shipped version 2026.3.22 today, and the release notes read like the team decided to clear out a year’s worth of backlog in one shot. There’s a native plugin marketplace, a long-overdue timeout fix, expanded model support, a substantial security patch batch, and the final closure of the MoltBot rebrand saga. This one has breaking changes — read carefully before you update. The Headliner: ClawHub Plugin Marketplace The biggest architectural addition in this release is ClawHub — a native plugin marketplace baked directly into the OpenClaw runtime. Previously, extending OpenClaw meant hunting down npm packages or manually managing skill directories. ClawHub centralizes this: you can now browse, install, and update skills and plugins from a curated registry without leaving the tool. ...

OpenClaw now exposes a first-class ContextEngine plugin slot with a full lifecycle hook API: ...
