OpenClaw v2026.2.22 is a substantial release that expands provider support, adds a long-requested auto-update system, and brings multilingual memory search to five new languages.
Mistral Provider
OpenClaw now supports Mistral as a native provider, including memory embeddings and voice capabilities. Users can configure Mistral models directly in their agent setup without routing through OpenRouter or other proxies.
Built-in Auto-Updater
A new optional auto-updater handles package installations with a stable rollout delay and jitter to prevent update storms. Beta users get hourly update cadence. The CLI also gains openclaw update --dry-run to preview what would change before committing.
Synology Chat Integration
A native Synology Chat channel plugin brings OpenClaw to Synology NAS users with webhook ingress, direct-message routing, and outbound media support. This is the first NAS-native integration for the platform.
Multilingual Memory Search
Full-text search now supports stop-word filtering for Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic. Japanese tokenization handles mixed-script terms, and Korean particle-aware extraction improves search accuracy for Korean-speaking users.
Security Fixes
The release addresses multiple high-severity vulnerabilities:
- Prototype pollution — Blocked prototype-key traversal during config merge patches.
- SSRF hardening — Expanded IPv4 fetch guard to block RFC special-use ranges.
- Media limits — Enforced byte-limit caps across Discord, Telegram, Zalo, Teams, and BlueBubbles.
- Symlink escape — Control UI now validates paths with realpath to prevent directory traversal.
OpenClaw Launch instances will receive this update automatically. Over 120 contributors participated in this release.
