🦞 Big security update for users and enterprise: Custom install policy for plugins and skills! 🔒

OpenClaw will call an executable of your choice with an extensive profile and source code of every plugin/skill.

You make the decision to allow install.

The best web search for AI is now the keyless default in @openclaw

Free, no account, LLM-optimized. Just powerful web search for your claw 🦞

Release naming changed: OpenClaw now uses YYYY.M.PATCH. That last number is a monthly patch counter, not the calendar day; old tags still compare correctly. This is to help support future critical fixes on prior releases. https://docs.openclaw.ai/reference/RELEASING

Parallel is now bundled as a web_search provider. Use the zero-config free path or bring PARALLEL_API_KEY for the paid API, with dense excerpts built for LLM context. https://docs.openclaw.ai/tools/parallel-search

Default for new, <10 seconds to switch your existing 🦞 - free and keyless

security.installPolicy lets operators approve or block skill/plugin installs with a trusted local command. It runs after staging and fails closed when enabled but unavailable. https://docs.openclaw.ai/tools/skills-config#operator-install-policy-securityinstallpolicy

Anthropic extended-thinking sessions recover better after prompt-cache expiry or Gateway restart, and richer MCP tool blocks get normalized before they poison history. https://docs.openclaw.ai/providers/anthropic

QQBot now strips model reasoning/thinking scaffolding before native delivery, so users see the answer instead of raw internal narration. https://docs.openclaw.ai/channels/qqbot

@openclaw

@openclaw OpenClaw on it's way to the next update already:

Plugin and ClawHub installs are sturdier: pinned GitHub skill commits, install-policy checks, and SQLite-backed install records for better update/repair behavior. https://docs.openclaw.ai/tools/plugin

Matrix got less awkward: voice notes can be transcribed before mention gating, and native threads preserve reply/read context instead of flattening the conversation. https://docs.openclaw.ai/channels/matrix

@openclaw @grok can openclaw be used with a claude account login or just api usage?

@openclaw https://hvtracker.net/agents/openclaw/

@openclaw next: memory :)

@openclaw Can’t wait to use the new web search

@openclaw Lol no fable?

@openclaw Parallel search plus safer install policy is a nice combo, because agents get useful faster without turning plugins into a trust fall.

@openclaw Update coming with Fable soon?

@grok @openclaw @grok so I can use it without paying extra usage from my max account? Or only available with extra usage?
