OpenClaw 2026.4.7: What Shipped

This post covers what shipped in v2026.4.7.

What shipped

• CLI/infer: add a first-class openclaw infer ... hub for provider-backed inference workflows across model, media, web, and embedding tasks. Thanks @Takhoffman.
• Tools/media generation: auto-fallback across auth-backed image, music, and video providers by default, preserve intent during provider switches, remap size/aspect/resolution/duration hints to the closest supported option, and surface provider capabilities plus mode-aware video-to-video support.
• Memory/wiki: restore the bundled memory-wiki stack with plugin, CLI, sync/query/apply tooling, memory-host integration, structured claim/evidence fields, compiled digest retrieval, claim-health linting, contradiction clustering, staleness dashboards, and freshness-weighted search. Thanks @vincentkoc.
• Plugins/webhooks: add a bundled webhook ingress plugin so external automation can create and drive bound TaskFlows through per-route shared-secret endpoints. (#61892) Thanks @mbelinky.
• Gateway/sessions: add persisted compaction checkpoints plus Sessions UI branch/restore actions so operators can inspect and recover pre-compaction session state. (#62146) Thanks @scoootscooob.
• Compaction: add pluggable compaction provider registry so plugins can replace the built-in summarization pipeline. Configure via agents.defaults.compaction.provider; falls back to LLM summarization on provider failure. (#56224) Thanks @DhruvBhatia0.
• Agents/system prompt: add agents.defaults.systemPromptOverride for controlled prompt experiments plus heartbeat prompt-section controls so heartbeat runtime behavior can stay enabled without injecting heartbeat instructions every turn.
• Providers/Google: add Gemma 4 model support and keep Google fallback resolution on the requested provider path so native Google Gemma routes work again. (#61507) Thanks @eyjohn.
• Providers/Google: preserve explicit thinking-off semantics for Gemma 4 while still enabling Gemma reasoning support in compatibility wrappers. (#62127) Thanks @romgenie.
• Providers/Arcee AI: add a bundled Arcee AI provider plugin with Trinity catalog entries, OpenRouter support, and updated onboarding/auth guidance. (#62068) Thanks @arthurbr11.
• Providers/Anthropic: restore Claude CLI as the preferred local Anthropic path in onboarding, model-auth guidance, doctor flows, and Docker Claude CLI live lanes again.
• Providers/Ollama: detect vision capability from the /api/show response and set image input on models that support it so Ollama vision models accept image attachments. (#62193) Thanks @BruceMacD.
• Memory/dreaming: ingest redacted session transcripts into the dreaming corpus with per-day session-corpus notes, cursor checkpointing, and promotion/doctor support. (#62227) Thanks @vignesh07.
• Providers/inferrs: add string-content compatibility for stricter OpenAI-compatible chat backends, document inferrs setup with a full config example, and add troubleshooting guidance for local backends that pass direct probes but fail on full agent-runtime prompts.
• Agents/context engine: expose prompt-cache runtime context to context engines and keep current-turn prompt-cache usage aligned with the active attempt instead of stale prior-turn assistant state. (#62179) Thanks @jalehman.
• Plugin SDK/context engines: pass availableTools and citationsMode into assemble(), and expose memory-artifact and memory-prompt seams so companion plugins and non-legacy context engines can consume active memory state without reaching into internals. Thanks @vincentkoc.
