Deployment

Claude Code v2.1.97 introduces a focus view toggle for better prompt visibility, enhanced status line customization with git worktree support, improved permissions handling with stricter Bash tool checks, and numerous bug fixes across MCP connections, resume functionality, NO_FLICKER mode rendering, and authentication. The release also improves auto-approval logic for safe commands, image compression consistency, and CJK text input handling.

OpenClaw v2026.4.8 is a maintenance release focusing on fixing import path issues in bundled channels and plugins, improving agent execution reporting, and enhancing proxy support. Key fixes address missing file references during gateway startup, plugin compatibility metadata alignment, and Slack integration improvements. The release ensures proper fallback policies for agent execution and enables proxy-only deployments to function correctly.

Claude Code v2.1.94 introduces Amazon Bedrock support via Mantle, increases default effort levels for API users, and adds enhanced Slack integration with compact channel headers. The release includes significant bug fixes for rate-limiting handling, macOS login issues, plugin skill invocation naming, and terminal rendering problems across multiple platforms including VSCode.

crewAI 1.14.0 introduces checkpoint management with CLI commands and SqliteProvider storage, implements runtime state checkpointing with an event system, and refactors the executor. Security enhancements include SSRF/path traversal protections and RAG tool validation. The release also optimizes memory serialization by excluding embedding vectors and addresses critical CVE-2026-35030 via litellm upgrade.

The Claude Agent SDK provides built-in session management functions to build conversation history sidebars without writing custom parsers. This cookbook demonstrates how to list, read, rename, tag, and fork sessions stored as JSONL transcripts on disk. By leveraging SDK primitives like list_sessions(), get_session_messages(), and rename_session(), developers can implement session browsers for desktop apps, IDE extensions, and chatbots without managing file I/O directly.

crewAI 1.14.0a4 introduces checkpoint storage capabilities with SqliteProvider and CheckpointConfig, implements runtime state checkpointing with an event system, and refactors the executor. Key improvements include guardrail tracing enhancements, embedding vector exclusion from memory serialization to reduce token usage, and a security bump to litellm. The release also deprecates CodeInterpreterTool and code execution parameters while improving documentation and performance with JSONB storage.

OpenClaw v2026.4.5 is a major release introducing breaking config changes with migration support, new media generation tools (video, music, image), expanded provider integrations (Qwen, Fireworks AI, StepFun, Amazon Bedrock Mantle), multilingual control UI support, enhanced approval workflows for iOS and Matrix, experimental memory dreaming features with weighted recall, and improved prompt caching stability across multiple dimensions.

Claude Code v2.1.92 introduces enhanced security policies with remote settings refresh, an interactive Bedrock setup wizard for AWS integration, improved cost transparency with per-model breakdowns, and numerous bug fixes. Key improvements include better session naming with hostname prefixes, fixed subagent spawning issues, enhanced prompt cache feedback for Pro users, and performance optimizations for the Write tool. The release also streamlines the CLI by removing `/tag` and `/vim` commands while improving terminal compatibility and sandbox security.

CrewAI v1.13.0 introduces significant architectural improvements including RuntimeState RootModel for unified serialization, enhanced event telemetry for skills and memory, and A2UI extension support. The release includes critical bug fixes for GPT-5.x model compatibility, RBAC permission alignment, and Windows lancedb compatibility. Performance optimizations reduce framework overhead through lazy event bus implementation and conditional tracing.

OpenClaw v2026.4.2 is a major release featuring significant architectural improvements including restoration of the core Task Flow substrate with managed sync modes, migration of plugin configurations (xAI and Firecrawl) from legacy core paths to plugin-owned paths, and numerous provider/channel fixes. Key additions include Android assistant integration, enhanced Matrix mentions, Feishu comment workflows, and centralized provider transport policy handling. The release includes breaking changes requiring config migration via `openclaw doctor --fix`.
