Why it matters

For people self-hosting OpenClaw as a messaging-connected agent who need fewer dropped replies and safer updates.

What's new

Failed Mac config saves no longer overwrite secrets, and turning off Tailscale exposure keeps Gateway authentication intact.
Telegram, Discord and webhook conversations keep reaching the agent after earlier turns or handlers finish.
Update recovery handles crashed or canceled updaters and restores the Windows Gateway after failed verification.
Claude CLI: operators can opt into native Agent and Workflow orchestration via `plugins.entries.anthropic.config.managedNativeTools` (default off); Anthropic setup can record an optional workspace ID.
Gemini Flash text models use Interactions by default on the official API-key endpoint; the managed proxy now rejects chains relying on the distrusted emSign ECC G3 root, so restart the Gateway after updating.

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 as a self-hosted agent on chat channels and want the stability and security fixes.

Worth knowing: Read only the top of the release notes; the full list is longer.
