OpenClaw· Updated
OpenClaw released version 2026.4.2, introducing a durable task flow substrate that allows background agent actions to persist and recover across sessions. This update shifts the platform toward reliable autonomous loops by separating orchestration from plugin layers and hardening provider security.
As agents move toward multi-step autonomous loops, reliability becomes the primary bottleneck. Durable task flows solve this by providing managed-vs-mirrored sync modes, allowing tasks to survive connection drops or restarts. Hardening provider boundaries prevents security leaks where proxied or spoofed hosts might otherwise inherit native model defaults.
Deploy the update now via the official GitHub repository. If you use xAI or Firecrawl plugins, you must run openclaw doctor --fix to migrate legacy configurations to new plugin-owned paths. Host execution now defaults to a no-prompt mode, though you can still configure manual approvals for specific communication channels.
