OpenClaw 2026.9.4 ships rollback-safe updates and unified plugin workspace
OpenClaw shipped 2026.9.4 on September 11. Updates now retain the prior package and roll back with the previous config/service when schema and configuration checks prove rollback is safe. A unified Plugins workspace discovers bundled and ClawHub plugins and manages install, setup and access from the Control UI. 'Prepared cloud sessions' start Linux workers from local projects or public GitHub repos via reusable snapshots (capped at four ready Gateway-wide). Terminal question prompts add keyboard-driven choices and multi-select; read-only deployments via OPENCLAW_CONFIG_READONLY=1; Deepgram Flux voice-note models.
Why it matters
Rollback-safe updates and a single plugin surface address the two biggest operational complaints about self-hosted agent gateways: upgrades that brick deployments and plugin supply-chain sprawl.
