📢 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.

Good News in History, May 5

105 years ago today, Coco Chanel debuted her No. 5 perfume, as revolutionary a fashion-fragrance as was every made. Smelling unlike anything that until then had been sold, and hoping to appeal to the free-wheeling, flapper culture of the 1920s, the glass bottle, rather than appearing as an overelaborate crystal vial, was inspired by a […] The post Good News in History, May 5 appeared first on Good News Network .
