I'm going to build my own OpenClaw, with blackjack... and bun!

## Recent releases

| Version | Date | Urgency | Changes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `v2.6.1` | 2026-06-04 | High | # PiClaw v2.6.1 — "They Live"  A small markdown live-preview patch for making links, tasks, and viewport work behave less like a haunted spreadsheet wearing sunglasses.  ## Fixes - Markdown live preview now hardens link handling so editing notes with real-world URLs is less likely to turn into a small browser-based trust exercise. - Task checkbox rendering and interaction in live preview got tightened, because apparently people expect checkboxes to behave like checkboxes rather than decorative U |
| `v2.5.1` | 2026-05-29 | High | # PiClaw v2.5.1 — The Fellowship of the Ring  A small patch release for the three upstream packages travelling together, because apparently dependency management now has a quest structure.  ## Platform news - Updated the Earendil package trio from `0.76.0` to `0.77.0`: `@earendil-works/pi-agent-core`, `@earendil-works/pi-ai`, and `@earendil-works/pi-coding-agent` now move in lockstep again, which is generally preferable to interpretive dependency drift.  ## Fixes - Adjusted the session persisten |
| `v2.4.4` | 2026-05-22 | High | # PiClaw v2.4.4 — "The Departed"  A patch release where WhatsApp finally leaves core, Visual UI gets a run of practical polish, and compaction learns one more knob before the next context-window wrestling match.  ## Features - Moved the WhatsApp channel out of the core runtime and into the add-on path, continuing the useful tradition of making core smaller instead of turning it into a transport museum. - Added the `registerChannelDetector` API so channel routing can be registered by add-ons rath |
| `v2.3.11` | 2026-05-15 | High | # PiClaw v2.3.11 — “The Near-Death Star”  A patch release for context-window budgeting and smart compaction, because token accounting should be less “guessing with confidence” and more “maths, reluctantly”.  ## Fixes  - Hardened smart-compaction token budgeting with shared context-window helpers, so unknown models, system prompt overhead, and safety multipliers are handled consistently instead of being scattered around like spare reactor parts. - Added a configurable system-prompt overhead budge |
| `v2.3.2` | 2026-05-08 | High | # PiClaw v2.3.2 — "Aglarond"  Welcome to Aglarond, the Glittering Caves: full of terminal sorcery, suspiciously shiny escape sequences, and enough UI masonry to make Gimli ask whether anyone had considered a slightly smaller hammer.  ## Features  - Added `imgcat` support for inline PNG display through the Kitty graphics protocol, because terminals apparently needed to become tiny art galleries and we have chosen to indulge them rather than call security. - Upgraded the Ghostty web terminal path |
| `v2.2.0` | 2026-05-03 | High | # PiClaw v2.2.0 — "Groundhog Day"  A broad runtime, web UI, add-on, security, packaging, and UX-validation release. The late-cycle work focused on making the UX test loop stop lying to us, but this release also carries the add-on/settings overhaul, stronger recovery/compaction behaviour, desktop-shell groundwork, and several security hardening passes since v2.1.0.  ## Highlights  - Major **web settings redesign**: hamburger/settings entry points, side-nav sections, model radio picker, thinking s |
| `v2.0.3` | 2026-04-27 | High | # PiClaw v2.0.3 — "Wormulon"  *Don't ask what the search algorithm is doing. Just drink the Slurm.*  ## Features  - **Search match mode toggle** — timeline search now supports OR (any keyword) and AND (all keywords) modes. Toggle from the search bar or Settings > Tools. Previously it was hardcoded to AND, which meant every search required every word to match, which meant nobody could find anything unless they remembered the exact phrase. OR is now the default. You're welcome. - **Keychain manage |
| `v1.8.4` | 2026-04-22 | High | # PiClaw v1.8.4 — "Being John Malkovich"  *Finally, a window into what's actually happening in there.*  ## Features  - **Extension progress API alignment** — PiClaw extensions now comply with the upstream pi-coding-agent 0.68.0 progress mechanism. Any extension that calls `ctx.ui.setWorkingIndicator` and `ctx.ui.setWorkingMessage` will report progress to both the TUI and the web compose area automatically — no extra wiring needed. - **Extensions ship with it** — proxmox, portainer, Azure OpenAI, |
| `v1.8.3` | 2026-04-19 | High | # PiClaw v1.8.3 — "They Live"  *I have come here to chew bubblegum and stop agent turns... and I'm all out of bubblegum.*  ## Features  - **Visual stop button during agent turns** — the compose area now shows a prominent stop button while the agent is working, with distinct states for active processing and compaction. No more staring at a blank screen wondering if anyone's home. - **Dynamic `/skill:` autocomplete** — typing `/skill:` in the compose box now autocompletes from actual registered sk |
| `v1.8.2` | 2026-04-19 | High | # PiClaw v1.8.2 — "Sliding Doors"  A patch release about interrupted turns, restored model state, and swipe navigation finally behaving like someone thought through what happens on phones after 2023.  ## Features  - **Automatic turn recovery now has a proper user-facing shape** — interrupted turns can recover more deliberately, recovered replies carry an explicit marker in the timeline, stale in-flight web chats can now be recovered while the runtime is still alive instead of waiting for the nex |
