OpenClaw 2026.10.5: Self-healing Updates, Restart-safe Conversations, X Channel & Voice Calls
Major stable release focused on reliability. Updates now finish and recover themselves across platforms. Conversations, subagent work, and deferred tasks resume cleanly after Gateway restarts. Gateway is faster and lighter (session/history reads moved to workers). New X (Twitter) mentions channel with streaming and cost limits. Voice calls gain briefs, reports, live steering, and voicemail detection. Smarter model pickers surface new Claude/ChatGPT/Ollama models immediately. ClawHub browsing added to Gateway. Tool approval hooks tightened so plugins cannot silently rewrite approved arguments.
Why it matters
This is the most substantial stability and capability drop for OpenClaw users in the current cycle. Anyone running long-lived agents or multi-channel setups will feel the difference in reliability and new surface area (X + voice).
