OpenClaw 2026.10 Line: v2026.10.1, v2026.10.2 Stable and the 2026.10.5 Beta Line (beta.1 to beta.2)

OpenClaw 2026.10 line: stable v2026.10.1 and v2026.10.2 shipped back to back — the first upgrade from stable v2026.10.1 now completes cleanly, and Windows, cloned-filesystem and private-Node update paths no longer stall or roll back; the 2026.10.5 beta line has moved from beta.1 to beta.2.

Direct answer: OpenClaw shipped four releases in the 2026.10 line within three days: v2026.10.1 (Oct 11, 07:54 Beijing time), v2026.10.5-beta.1 (Oct 11, 21:08), the current latest stable v2026.10.2 (Oct 12, 13:34) and v2026.10.5-beta.2 (Oct 12, 20:10, official Atom feed entry time) — beta.2 is now the newest official release, while v2026.10.2 remains the latest stable. What matters most for upgraders: the first upgrade from stable v2026.10.1 now completes cleanly — update paths that previously stalled on Windows, cloned filesystems, or a private Node finish instead of stalling or rolling back, and successful in-place updates no longer end in errors.

v2026.10.2: upgrade fixes come first

The official notes for v2026.10.2 lead with upgrade fixes:

  • Updates from 2026.10.1: the first upgrade from stable 2026.10.1 now completes cleanly; successful in-place updates no longer end in errors; Windows, cloned-filesystem, and private-Node update paths finish instead of stalling or rolling back (#168849, #169031, #165233, #166530, #168968, #164677, #165257).
  • Doctor and update recovery: Doctor is no longer interrupted by leftover legacy imports, stale Gateway locks, slow status checks, memory reindex locks, or allowlists of removed channel accounts; sessions carrying stale receipts keep their existing data.
  • Provider-native compaction: OpenAI and Anthropic API-key routes default to provider-native compaction; recovery stays available while the primary auth profile is cooling down (#168164, #166459).
  • Secret redaction: credentials that cross a chunk boundary in long tool output are now masked; redaction of large text no longer stalls or overflows the stack while running several times faster (#161480, #166701, #167943).
  • Prompt-cache stability: cache-stability fixes around Anthropic conversation checkpoints, enriched user prompts, tool results, and inter-session provenance.

v2026.10.1: the 2026.10 line opens with stats and links

The v2026.10.1 release page keeps the stats-and-links format: 3,055 commits, 2,425 pull requests, 402 contributors. The page itself lists no feature bullets; details live in the official release notes and changelog (same content, different format). This article does not paraphrase a feature list on the project's behalf.

v2026.10.5 beta line: beta.1 was the first, beta.2 is the current beta

Beta.1 shipped on Oct 11; its official body exceeds 120,000 characters and covers safer updates, restart-safe conversations, and a faster, steadier Gateway, among other themes. The beta line has since moved on: v2026.10.5-beta.2 (official Atom feed entry time 2026-10-12 12:10 UTC, 20:10 Beijing) is now the newest official release, making beta.1 a historical release for beta-channel followers. beta.2's release body was not re-read for this update (GitHub API rate limit), so only its tag and feed timestamp are cited here. The previous article verified the official warning that data converted by an October beta cannot be downgraded or repaired by v2026.9.9; production installs should stay off the beta channel.

Upgrade guidance

  • From v2026.10.1 to v2026.10.2: the first upgrade is now documented to complete cleanly; still preview with openclaw update --dry-run, then run openclaw update. The full backup, update, Doctor, verify, rollback path is in our upgrade tutorial.
  • From older versions (9.x or 8.35 extended-stable): check source-version compatibility first; very old configurations may need an intermediate 2026.9.5 upgrade and Doctor.
  • Long-term stable users keep using openclaw update --channel extended-stable.
