OpenClaw 2026.10.5 released

A major release that stabilizes updates and restarts, adds an X channel, improves Gateway performance, and introduces voice call features.

What changed in 2026.10.5

• Updates now complete reliably across different systems and configurations, recovering from interruptions instead of leaving installations incomplete.
• Conversations survive Gateway restarts, with interrupted turns and user input preserved through restarts and failed publications.
• Gateway startup uses significantly less memory and database resources by moving session reads to background threads.
• New X channel lets you answer Twitter mentions with streaming support and optional repository question mode with cost limits.
• Voice calls now include per-call summaries, reports, live control, callbacks, and voicemail detection.

Check before you update

• Plugin hooks can no longer rewrite tool arguments approved as trusted-inline without requesting additional approval; see tool-policy.md for migration details.
• Codex runtimes below 2026.9.7 are rejected at plugin admission with guidance to update.
