📢 OpenClaw Releases

🌟 openclaw 2026.4.2

Breaking

Plugins/xAI: move `x_search` settings from the legacy core `tools.web.x_search.` path to the plugin-owned `plugins.entries.xai.config.xSearch.` path, standardize `x_search` auth on `plugins.entries.xai.config.webSearch.apiKey` / `XAI_API_KEY`, and migrate legacy config with `openclaw doctor --fix`. (#59674) Thanks @vincentkoc.
Plugins/web fetch: move Firecrawl `web_fetch` config from the legacy core `tools.web.fetch.firecrawl.` path to the plugin-owned `plugins.entries.firecrawl.config.webFetch.` path, route `web_fetch` fallback through the new fetch-provider boundary instead of a Firecrawl-only core branch, and migrate legacy config with `openclaw doctor --fix`. (#59465) Thanks @vincentkoc.

Changes

Tasks/Task Flow: restore the core Task Flow substrate with managed-vs-mirrored sync modes, durable flow state/revision tracking, and `openclaw flows` inspection/recovery primitives so background orchestration can persist and be operated separately from plugin ...

Google: Gemma 4 26B A4B (google/gemma-4-26b-a4b-it)

Gemma 4 26B A4B IT is an instruction-tuned Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) model from Google DeepMind. Despite 25.2B total parameters, only 3.8B activate per token during inference — delivering near-31B quality at a fraction of the compute cost. Supports multimodal input including text, images, and video (up to 60s at 1fps). Features a 256K token context window, native function calling, configurable thinking/reasoning mode, and structured output support. Released under Apache 2.0.
