Why it matters

For people and small teams running OpenClaw as an assistant in their chat apps, it lowers the risk that a crash, restart or upgrade loses conversations, settings or backups.

What's new

Interrupted sessions keep their recovery history and unfinished tool results, and stopped conversations clear leftover recovery state before taking the next message.
Update activation and recovery are safer: interrupted package updates resume, post-update Doctor waits are time-limited, and Windows deep or 8.3 state paths no longer stop onboarding or migration.
Backups keep supported legacy exec-approval policies, interrupted R2 verification and restores resume, and Memory Wiki re-imports keep notes people wrote by hand.
Adds Gemini 4 Argon support for Google models, and fixes OpenRouter onboarding and GPT-5.6 tool turns.
Fixes a stale temporary log folder that could leave the Gateway stuck at full CPU at date rollover, and lets fresh macOS profiles finish automatic setup.

Taken from the project's own release notes. Claims about speed or accuracy are the maker's unless stated otherwise.

Try it if: You run OpenClaw on your own machine and want restarts and upgrades to stop costing you conversations.

Worth knowing: OpenClaw holds credentials for the chat apps and model providers you connect, so keep it updated.
