v2026.3.13 — Recovery Release + Cross-Platform Stability

Released: March 14, 2026 Theme: Stability + recovery release Breaking Changes: None

Overview

v2026.3.13 is a Recovery Release — since GitHub immutable releases don’t allow tag reuse, it ships with a -1 suffix (npm version stays 2026.3.13). Stability is the top priority: fixes to core Compaction logic, a Plugin-SDK 2× memory regression, and parity work across Android / iOS / macOS / Windows. 16 new community contributors joined.

Core Highlights

1. Compaction Sanity Fix

Post-compaction sanity check now uses full-session token count to prevent anomalies after compaction. Core stability fix affecting everyone.

Compaction summaries now preserve personality and language continuity — multilingual and custom-persona scenarios no longer “forget” or “switch personas” after compaction.

2. Plugin-SDK Memory Regression Fix

Deduplicating plugin-sdk chunks resolves a ~2× memory regression. Crucial for every plugin-heavy deployment — memory usage effectively halves.

3. Android Platform Progress

  • Chat Settings UI redesigned
  • Onboarding QR scanning switches to Google Code Scanner
  • HttpURLConnection leak in TalkModeVoiceResolver fixed

4. iOS Onboarding Welcome Pager

New onboarding welcome pager guides new users through initial setup.

5. Docker Security Hardening

  • Prevents gateway tokens from leaking into the Docker build context
  • All Dockerfiles add apt-get upgrade for secure base images

Technical Direction

Four-Platform Parity

iOS gains onboarding pager, Android redesigns UI and QR scanning, macOS aligns minimum Node.js version (22.16.0), Windows fixes visible console windows on restart. Four platforms advancing together in one release.

Stability and Performance First

Compaction fix, Plugin-SDK memory regression, Gateway unanswered-client-request limit, Dashboard chat-history reload storm — the top priority is clear: reliable behavior.

Community Acceleration

16 new contributors span Android, Docker, UI, config schema, and cross-provider compatibility. The OpenClaw community is growing fast.

Notable Fixes

  • Anthropic thinking blocks replay: drop thinking blocks on replay to avoid internal-reasoning leakage
  • Dashboard chat history reload storm: Control UI got stuck in a reload loop
  • Telegram inbound media IPv4 fallback: media download retries on IPv4 after failure
  • Cron isolated nested lane deadlock: isolated cron deadlocked inside nested lanes
  • Ollama reasoning-only output hidden: pure-reasoning output no longer shown to users
