摘要原文

OpenClaw is an open-source, MIT-licensed personal AI agent that you run on your own machines. Its Gateway connects models, tools, and chat channels such as Telegram, Slack, and Discord. The project has now shipped version 2026.9.5 , announced on X . The release bundles 4,179 pull requests and 64 direct commits, with credits to 502 contributing accounts. The main change is Atomic Updates, which targets a long-running complaint: updates that break a working agent. Is it deployable? Yes, Version 2026.9.5 is the current latest tag on npm . It is self-hostable and needs Node 24.16+ or 26.1+. The OpenClaw team explained the problem in a blog post with maintainer Jason Sy . Before the fix, an update had 2 outcomes: incremental improvement or catastrophic failure. In the failure case, the old version went down as well. That left no agent online to help with the repair. Two factors made this hard. First, OpenClaw has thousands of config options, so testing every permutation is near impossible. Second, maintainers rarely felt the pain themselves. They are developers who ask Claude or Codex to update their claw. For many users, the claw is their only agent. The OpenClaw 2.0 launch in early September made the issue too large to ignore. According to the Claw team, the needed pieces already existed in the upgrade process. They were in the wrong order. The new flow works like this: OpenClaw always preserves a working agent, so it can help diagnose a failed upgrade. The team also added an issue reporting button for updates. The release notes list clear limits. Atomic Updates apply on supported update paths only. Rolling back the application cannot undo database migrations. The private validation copy is not a backup, so keep a verified backup before upgrading. If an interactive update fails, AI repair starts only after you choose Yes. It uses your account and tokens, and a 30-second timeout skips it. One upgrade warning applies to everyone. This release changes the conversation database even with archiving off. Going back requires the matching older build and a backup. New installs can use the official script: If you already manage Node.js, install the published package: Existing users can run openclaw update . See the updating guide for manual paths. The release also adds a FreeBSD CLI install route using system Node and npm.
