OpenClaw v2026.3.31 just dropped 🦞

This one is all about making your agents
safer, more reliable, and way less noisy.

New task system.
Tighter security.
Better chat handling.

Here’s what actually matters ↓

1. Background tasks finally make sense

All your scheduled jobs, sub-agents, and hidden tasks
now run on one shared system.

• Real tracking
• Easy recovery
• Auto-cleanup
• New commands: openclaw flows list | show | cancel

No more “where did my task go?” moments.

2. QQ Bot support is now native

Full channel support with:

• Multi-account setup
• Slash commands
• Reminders
• Media send/receive

If your users are on QQ, this is big.

3. Android notifications fixed

You now control the noise:

• App-level filters
• Quiet hours
• Rate limits
• Safer triggers

No more getting spammed for every tiny event.

4. Chat channels got major upgrades

LINE:

• Images, video, and audio now fully supported

Matrix:

• Better history
• Proxy support
• Streaming message updates
• Smarter threads

5. Remote tools are easier to connect

MCP now supports remote HTTP/SSE servers
with auth headers.

Connecting external tools is way simpler.

Breaking changes to know

Before updating:

• Old plugin SDK paths deprecated
• Skill installs now block unsafe code by default
• Stricter execution + approval flows
• Gateway auth tightened

If you run custom setups, check this first.

How to update

openclaw update openclaw –version

npm install -g openclaw@latest

Docker: pull latest image + restart

This is a quiet but important release.

Less noise.
More control.
More reliable agents.
