This topic lists the updates for each version of the OpenClaw application image.
OpenClaw 2026.2.26
Released on February 28, 2026
OpenClaw 2026.2.26 was released. The built-in software has been upgraded to OpenClaw 2.26, supporting the latest community features.
Updates compared to the OpenClaw 2026.2.9 application image:
Native multimodal model support: Pre-configured with the qwen3.5-plus native multimodal model. You can now call this single model to process both text and image problems.
Memory and Stability Optimization: The system is preconfigured with 2 GiB of Swap virtual memory to mitigate a degraded user experience caused by memory overflow. (Enabling the Swap partition may reduce memory I/O performance. If the instance runs out of memory, prioritize increasing its physical memory by upgrading the package configuration.)

Updates compared to the OpenClaw 2026.2.3 application image:
Improved web search by prioritizing SearXNG.
Added built-in plugins for DingTalk, Lark, WeCom, and QQ, in addition to the AppFlow bridge mode. You can configure these services by entering their keys on the application's product page.
Added a personalization panel for the AI assistant. This panel includes a built-in Markdown editor to directly modify the SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, and AGENTS.md files.
You can modify models in the console as follows:
Switch between different Model Studio models directly from a drop-down menu. This helps users who were previously unsure how to change models using the OpenClaw configuration file.
You can also manually enter specific models supported by Model Studio.
The initialization process now generates a random service port by default. This effectively hides the endpoint and helps prevent malicious scans.
Public network access control: Added a one-click feature to enable or disable public network access.
Gateway restart: Added a Gateway Restart feature. You can restart the gateway service from the user interface.
