OpenClaw 2026.4.5: What Shipped

This post covers what shipped in v2026.4.5.

What shipped

• Config: remove legacy public config aliases such as talk.voiceId / talk.apiKey, agents.*.sandbox.perSession, browser.ssrfPolicy.allowPrivateNetwork, hooks.internal.handlers, and channel/group/room allow toggles in favor of the canonical public paths and enabled, while keeping load-time compatibility and openclaw doctor --fix migration support for existing configs. (#60726) Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Agents/video generation: add the built-in video_generate tool so agents can create videos through configured providers and return the generated media directly in the reply.
• Agents/music generation: ignore unsupported optional hints such as durationSeconds with a warning instead of hard-failing requests on providers like Google Lyria.
• Providers/ComfyUI: add a bundled comfy workflow media plugin for local ComfyUI and Comfy Cloud workflows, including shared imagegenerate, videogenerate, and workflow-backed music_generate support, with prompt injection, optional reference-image upload, live tests, and output download.
• Tools/music generation: add the built-in music_generate tool with bundled Google (Lyria) and MiniMax providers plus workflow-backed Comfy support, including async task tracking and follow-up delivery of finished audio.
• Providers: add bundled Qwen, Fireworks AI, and StepFun providers, plus MiniMax TTS, Ollama Web Search, and MiniMax Search integrations for chat, speech, and search workflows. (#60032, #55921, #59318, #54648)
• Providers/Amazon Bedrock: add bundled Mantle support plus inference-profile discovery and automatic request-region injection so Bedrock-hosted Claude, GPT-OSS, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, and similar routes work with less manual setup. (#61296, #61299) Thanks @wirjo.
• Control UI/multilingual: add localized control UI support for Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, French, Turkish, Indonesian, Polish, and Ukrainian. Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Plugins: add plugin-config TUI prompts to guided onboarding/setup flows, and add openclaw plugins install --force so existing plugin and hook-pack targets can be replaced without using the dangerous-code override flag. (#60590, #60544)
• Control UI/skills: add ClawHub search, detail, and install flows directly in the Skills panel. (#60134) Thanks @samzong.
• iOS/exec approvals: add generic APNs approval notifications that open an in-app exec approval modal, fetch command details only after authenticated operator reconnect, and clear stale notification state when the approval resolves. (#60239) Thanks @ngutman.
• Matrix/exec approvals: add Matrix-native exec approval prompts with account-scoped approvers, channel-or-DM delivery, and room-thread aware resolution handling. (#58635) Thanks @gumadeiras.
• Channels/context visibility: add configurable contextVisibility per channel (all, allowlist, allowlist_quote) so supplemental quote, thread, and fetched history context can be filtered by sender allowlists instead of always passing through as received.
• Providers/request overrides: add shared model and media request transport overrides across OpenAI-, Anthropic-, Google-, and compatible provider paths, including headers, auth, proxy, and TLS controls. (#60200)
• Providers/OpenAI: add forward-compat openai-codex/gpt-5.4-mini, an opt-in GPT personality, and provider-owned GPT-5 prompt contributions so Codex/GPT runs stay cache-stable and compatible with bundled catalog lag.
• Agents/Claude CLI: expose OpenClaw tools to background Claude CLI runs through a loopback MCP bridge and switch bundled runs to stdin + stream-json partial-message streaming so prompts stop riding argv, long replies show live progress, and final session/usage metadata still land cleanly. (#35676) Thanks @mylukin.
