Top News (4)
1) OpenClaw v2026.2.23 released
- What happened: Added
kilocodeprovider, kimi support inweb_search, Moonshot video capability, and stronger sessions/cron maintenance flows. - Why it matters: Better provider/search flexibility and better operational tooling.
- Potential impact: Lower storage/log growth risk in long-running agent and cron setups.
2) Browser SSRF config has a breaking change
- What happened: Config key migrated from
browser.ssrfPolicy.allowPrivateNetworktobrowser.ssrfPolicy.dangerouslyAllowPrivateNetwork, with safer defaults. - Why it matters: Compatibility + security behavior changed together.
- Potential impact: Internal-network automation should be revalidated; run
openclaw doctor --fix.
3) openclaw sessions cleanup is now the official maintenance entry
- What happened: Supports
--dry-run / --enforce / --all-agents / --active-key. - Why it matters: Critical for high-frequency cron, long sessions, and multi-agent collaboration.
- Potential impact: Move from ad-hoc cleanup to policy-based storage governance.
4) Browser profile routing issue (#4841) is closed
- What happened: The former misrouting behavior to chrome relay is resolved.
- Why it matters: Troubleshooting is now more deterministic.
- Potential impact: You can diagnose via
status/profiles/tabsfirst, then isolate attach vs gateway issues.
Practical Cases (2)
Case A: Gateway recovery in 1–3 minutes
openclaw gateway status
openclaw doctor --fix
openclaw gateway restart
openclaw gateway probeOutcome: Recovers most “service drift/port/state” failures quickly.
Case B: Relay attach fix + daily publish flow
openclaw browser status
openclaw browser tabs
# Click OpenClaw Browser Relay icon on target tab (badge ON)Outcome: Browser tasks recover; content generation and delivery can be decoupled for retry safety.
Bottom Line
Most important today
- v2026.2.23 combines capability expansion with better maintenance operations.
- SSRF key migration should be checked immediately.
Practical advice
- Run
openclaw doctor --fixtoday. - Run
openclaw sessions cleanup --dry-runbefore enforce.
Watch tomorrow
- Stability/cost of kimi search in your current workflow.
- Disk/session metrics after cleanup actions.
- Relay attach success and recovery latency across tabs/profiles.
