OpenClaw major update: plugin ecosystem shifts to ClawHub, SDK refactored, built-in tools replace skills, new models, security upgrades, and full config unification.
Yesterday, OpenClaw received another major version update. “This release contains so many changes that we had to create a separate table of contents to organize them all.”
The update focuses on the following key areas:
ClawHub Plugin Marketplace
MiniMax M2.7, GPT-5.4-mini/nano + per-Agent reasoning capability allocation
/btw side questions (supplementary questions that can be inserted anytime)
