OpenClaw 2026.10.7 — Session Recovery Improvements

Latest stable (2026.10.7, ~Oct 24) focuses on replay-safe session recovery: interrupted sessions keep recovery provenance and unfinished tool outcomes, stopped conversations clean terminal residue, and various Codex/Claude CLI edge cases are tightened. Also safer update activation and database/worker continuity.

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.
