Changelog

Unreleased

  • Integrations: add the ClickClack and Raft channels, list ClawRouter, Gradium, Inworld, OpenCode Go, and the Claude Max API proxy in the provider directory, and update catalog stats (29 chat channels, 62 provider entries) to match current docs.

  • Press: expand the press page with 7 more verified pieces — Fast Company's AI 20 profile of the creator (featured), Business Insider on Google's 'Remy' answer to OpenClaw, GeekWire inside Microsoft's Project Lobster, BBC News and Fortune on China's lobster craze, and two VentureBeat analyses of the OpenClaw moment.

  • Press: refresh Featured In with 2026 Q2 coverage — TechCrunch on Microsoft's OpenClaw-inspired Scout, the iOS/Android launch, Red Hat's enterprise-hardening work, and CNBC on China's lobster rush; new homepage highlight order.

  • Testimonials: add 11 new shoutouts from the archive, including @sama, @elonmusk, @garrytan, @growing_daniel, @donasarkar, and @OmarShahine, with cached avatars.

  • Website: homepage facelift — hero call-to-action buttons, aurora glow and film-grain texture, larger section headers with chevron markers, refined feature and blog cards, glowing quick-start terminal, cleaner sponsor logo wall, and a wider 960px layout with more breathing room between sections.

  • Dependencies: update Astro to 7.0.4, js-yaml to 5.2.0, RSS to 4.0.19, Simple Icons to 16.24.1, and Sharp to 0.35.3; add Astro 7-compatible Lucide icons and preserve the existing generated HTML whitespace behavior (#172, #176, thanks @dependabot).

  • Ecosystem: add ClawScan, a composable security scanning harness for agent skills (#177, thanks @Patrick-Erichsen).

  • Ecosystem: render the Crabline card from its existing SVG banner instead of requesting a missing PNG.

  • Website: keep root logo compatibility assets available for older granola.png and logo.png embeds.

  • Installer: fetch only the requested git tag during source installs instead of downloading the full OpenClaw tag history.

  • Ecosystem: quiet the final contribution CTA button colors.

  • Website: redirect blog.openclaw.ai to the canonical blog at openclaw.ai/blog.

  • Blog: refine the article docs CTA panel colors.

  • Blog: cool down the featured post card border and background so the warm coral accent stops dominating the blog index hero.

  • Blog: capitalize tag labels on the blog landing page.

  • Blog: simplify the blog landing page headline.

  • Website: merge the product/docs/blog visual language, make the homepage quick-start first, and retire the standalone Trust pages in favor of /blog#security.

  • Website: cache X avatar lookups under local static assets and stop emitting Unavatar URLs in generated pages.

  • Integrations: point provider, platform, automation, and ClawHub cards at canonical target pages, and fix the WhatsApp docs link (#137, thanks @Tilakraj0308).

  • Shoutouts: URL-encode testimonial avatar fallbacks so contributor names cannot break the inline fallback URL (#142, thanks @SebTardif).

  • Blog: trim and tighten the "Where OpenClaw Security Is Heading" post, drop redundant status preambles, fix dangling phrasing, and add an Auto Review reference for codex users.

  • Blog: widen the article card with a solid backdrop for readability, and round evidence images while cropping their baked-in decorative frame.

  • Installer: after Linux NodeSource installs, prefer the newly installed supported Node binary when an older /usr/local/bin/node still shadows it on PATH.

  • Installer: when redirecting an unwritable Linux npm global prefix, create or prepend the .bashrc PATH hint so fresh non-interactive shells can find openclaw.

2026-05-03

  • Installer: sync public/install.sh with canonical scripts/install.sh from openclaw/openclaw, bringing progress indicators during quiet steps, progress during npm install in non-interactive curl | bash mode, Arch Linux support, Node version handling improvements, gum spinner fixes, and removal of legacy options. Fixes hosted installer drift (openclaw/openclaw#73837, thanks @SebTardif).

2026-04-26

  • Installer: normalize HOME when headless VM execution reports /, preventing npm from trying to use /.npm on macOS Parallels guests.
  • Installer: keep install-cli.sh package installs under the prefix-local Node toolchain so openclaw update does not create a second package root (#118, thanks @AISymbiote).
  • Integrations: add QQ Bot to the chat provider list with the canonical docs link (#119, thanks @sliverp).
  • Integrations: point Notion, Bear Notes, GitHub, Image Gen, and Camera cards to their specific ClawHub skill pages (#117, thanks @DJStompZone).
  • Dependencies: update Astro to 6.1.9, migrate blog content to Astro 6 content collections, refresh RSS/icons/analytics packages, and bump pinned GitHub Actions.
  • Windows installer: route PowerShell install failures through a top-level handler so irm ... | iex returns control to the current shell while direct script-file runs still exit non-zero. Fixes openclaw/openclaw#38054, thanks @PwrSrg.
  • Installer: warn when multiple npm global roots contain OpenClaw installs, showing active Node/npm/openclaw plus each install path and version so stale version-manager installs are visible. Fixes openclaw/openclaw#40839, thanks @zhixianio.

2026-03-16

  • Integrations: correct MS Teams docs link to the canonical /channels/msteams path (#109, thanks @SidU).
  • Showcase/press: add curated community builds and a press page, and surface standout examples on the homepage (#108, thanks @jchopard69).

2026-03-07

  • Shoutouts: use the theme-aware card surface token so shoutout cards render correctly in light mode (#100, thanks @zwying0814).
  • Sponsors: keep the Vercel logo visible in light mode by excluding the light-theme asset from sponsor inversion rules (#88, thanks @Unmesh100).
  • Windows installer: fail fast with a clear Git requirement before npm-based install flows that would otherwise die later with spawn git (#94, thanks @ningding97).
  • Blog: restore the missing Discord link in the VirusTotal partnership post footer (#96, thanks @gandli).
  • Dependencies: bump @lucide/astro to 0.577.0 and sync bun.lock (#99, thanks @dependabot).
  • CI: update Bun setup pin and move the install-smoke Node setup to the pinned actions/setup-node v6 SHA (#98, thanks @dependabot).
  • Installer: recover from older PATH-bound Node runtimes after install, but keep the fallback openclaw shim in ~/.local/bin instead of mutating version-manager bins (#68, thanks @rolandkakonyi).
  • Dependencies: update astro to 5.18.0 and simple-icons to 16.10.0; add workflow concurrency so stale install jobs on main cancel instead of queueing indefinitely.

2026-02-22

  • Installer: make gum behavior fully automatic (interactive TTYs get gum, headless shells get plain status), and remove manual gum toggles.
  • Installer: after macOS node@22 Homebrew install, force-check active node major, print active node/npm paths, and fail with explicit PATH remediation if shell still resolves an older Node.
  • Installer: strengthen npm failure diagnostics with parsed code/syscall/errno, exact install command, installer log path, npm debug log path, and first npm error line.
  • CI/Tests: expand install.sh unit coverage for non-interactive gum disable, macOS Node PATH activation guard, and npm diagnostics parsing/output.
  • Triage: close duplicate installer issue openclaw/openclaw#23069 in favor of openclaw/openclaw#23066 to keep ioctl troubleshooting centralized.

2026-02-13

  • Landing page: harden quickstart script null-safety, clipboard fallback behavior, and OS detection; remove redundant npm/pnpm lockfiles for Bun-first workflow (#37, thanks @HemantSudarshan).
  • Integrations: replace stale Signal docs link with canonical OpenClaw channel docs URL (#44, thanks @deftdawg).
  • Docs: rename README references from old Molt/Clawd names to OpenClaw/openclaw.ai and update Discord invite branding link (#57, thanks @knocte).
  • Installer: preinstall Linux native build toolchain before NodeSource setup to reduce npm native-module failures (make, g++, cmake, python3) (#45, thanks @wtfloris).
  • Installer: auto-detect missing native build toolchain from npm logs, attempt OS-specific install, and retry package install instead of failing early (#49, thanks @knocte).
  • Installer: render gum choose header on two lines (real newline, not literal \n) for checkout detection prompt (#55, thanks @echoja).
  • Showcase: switch to masonry-style multi-column layout with cross-browser card split protection (#42, thanks @reidsolon).
  • Links: update ClawHub URLs from clawhub.com to clawhub.ai across landing, integrations, and showcase pages (#28, thanks @bchelli).
  • Blog: add RSS feed at /rss.xml, include feed autodiscovery in <head>, and align dependency lockfiles with Bun workflow (#33, thanks @Daxik2x).

2026-02-10

  • Installer: modernize install.sh UX with staged progress, quieter command output, optional gum UI controls, and verified-only temporary gum bootstrap (#50, thanks @sebslight).
  • CI: add Linux installer matrix workflow and runner script for dry-run/full validation across distro images (#50, thanks @sebslight).

2026-01-27

2026-01-16

  • install.sh: warn when the user's original shell PATH likely won't find the installed openclaw binary (common Node/npm global bin issues); link to docs.
  • CI: add lightweight unit tests for install.sh path resolution.
