OpenClaw v2026.2.23 Release Breakdown
This release is dense. Here's what matters:
Kilo Code provider: First-class support with auto-detection and sensible defaults. If you've been wiring this up manually, you can stop.
Moonshot video + search: Native video understanding (not just extracting frames) and web search that actually cites sources. Useful if you're running Kimi/Moonshot models.
Per-agent cache tuning: Each agent can override cache retention. Mixed traffic loads finally get granular control.
Session disk budgets: Configure maxDiskBytes and highWaterBytes. Archives clean themselves up when thresholds hit. Your disk will thank you.
Breaking change: Browser SSRF policy now defaults to trusted-network. Old configs need migration, but openclaw doctor --fix handles it.
Security improvements worth noting:
• HSTS headers for HTTPS deployments
• ACP tightened to trusted tool IDs only
• Sensitive values redacted from OTEL exports
• Path traversal protection in skill packaging
Stability fixes that matter:
• Better context overflow detection (including Chinese error text)
• 502/503/504 errors properly trigger failover
• Compaction no longer replaces history with "Summary unavailable"
• WhatsApp group policy fixes, Telegram reaction stability
40+ fixes total. The session maintenance improvements alone justify upgrading if you're running production workloads.
