📢 OpenClaw Releases
🌟 openclaw 2026.5.4
2026.5.4
Highlights
- Google Meet/Voice Call: make Twilio dial-in joins speak through the realtime Gemini voice bridge with paced audio streaming, backpressure-aware buffering, barge-in queue clearing, and no TwiML fallback during realtime speech, giving Meet participants a much snappier OpenClaw voice agent. (#77064) Thanks @scoootscooob.
Changes
- Gateway/Windows: bind the default loopback gateway listener only to `127.0.0.1` on Windows so libuv's dual-stack `::1` behavior cannot wedge localhost HTTP requests. (#69701, fixes #69674) Thanks @SARAMALI15792.
- Plugins/migration: emit catalog-backed install hints when `plugins.entries` or `plugins.allow` references an official external plugin that is not installed, so upgraded configs point operators to `openclaw plugins install <spec>` instead of telling them to remove valid plugin config. (#77483) Thanks @hclsys.

Highlights
- Plugins/file-transfer: add bundled file-transfer plugin with `file_fetch`, `dir_list`, `dir_fetch`, and `file_write` agent tools for binary file ops on paired nodes; default-deny per-node path policy under `plugins.entries.file-transfer.config.nodes` with operator approval, symlink traversal refused by default (opt-in `followSymlinks`), and a 16 MB byte ceiling per round-trip. (#74742) Thanks @omarshahine.
