OpenClaw 2026.10.6 released

A stability patch addressing security requirements and fixing reliability issues across updates, data handling, messaging, and agent operations.

What changed in 2026.10.6

  • Node.js runtime now requires version 24.22.1 or later on the 24 line, or 26.12.1 or later on the 26 line for security patches; updates refuse to proceed on older versions with recovery instructions.
  • Fixed message delivery and task handling so queued exchanges, monitored results, and streaming replies persist correctly through restarts without loss or duplication.
  • Improved data migration and backup safety by rejecting malformed imports, preserving corrupted content where possible, and protecting deeply nested backups during restore operations.
  • Enhanced Windows and macOS startup stability by handling platform-specific update failures, fixing credential storage issues, and correcting permission detection in all locales.
  • Fixed tool execution timeouts, context overflow handling, message ordering on messaging platforms, and worker resource recovery after system reboots.
