This incremental release builds on version 1.4.2 with focused enhancements to the core framework's tooling capabilities.

crewAI v1.14.7a4 introduces runtime migration for @listen/@router decorators to read from FlowDefinition and adds pluggable default backends for memory, knowledge, RAG, and flow components. This release enhances the framework's flexibility by allowing developers to swap backend implementations without code changes. The update includes documentation updates and contributions from three core team members.

OpenClaw v2026.6.5 is a maintenance release focusing on stability, security, and provider integrations. Key improvements include QQBot reasoning stripping to prevent content leakage, MCP tool result coercion to avoid API errors, Anthropic extended-thinking recovery mechanisms, and Parallel web-search provider bundling. The release also enhances Matrix voice/thread handling, improves auth durability with SQLite storage, and strengthens security around tool access and provider catalogs.

OpenClaw v2026.6.5-beta.6 introduces critical fixes for QQBot reasoning stripping, MCP tool result coercion to prevent API errors, improved Anthropic extended-thinking recovery, Parallel web-search provider bundling, and enhanced durability for auth/plugin state via SQLite. The release strengthens security around MCP leases, prompt-cache tool names, and HTTP tools while improving macOS node stability and upgrade safety across multiple platforms.

crewAI v1.14.7a3 is a patch release addressing critical security vulnerabilities and bug fixes. Key improvements include fixing the exposure of `ask_for_human_input` on the experimental AgentExecutor, resolving CVEs in dependencies (aiohttp, docling, docling-core, pip), and refactoring the `@start` decorator to read from FlowDefinition. This release maintains stability while enhancing security posture and internal architecture.

OpenClaw v2026.6.5-beta.3 introduces critical fixes for model reasoning leakage in QQBot, MCP tool result coercion to prevent API errors, improved Anthropic extended-thinking session recovery, and a new bundled Parallel web-search provider. The release strengthens security around tool access, improves provider/model resolution reliability, and enhances durability of auth and plugin state through SQLite persistence. Multiple platform-specific improvements address macOS node reconnection issues, Matrix voice/thread handling, and mobile UI clarity.

OpenClaw v2026.6.5-beta.5 introduces critical stability and safety improvements across multiple channels and providers. Key fixes include QQBot reasoning stripping, MCP tool result coercion to prevent API errors, Anthropic extended-thinking session recovery, and Parallel web-search bundling. The release strengthens auth durability, provider model resolution, and agent/tool/provider loop safety while improving macOS node mode reliability and upgrade path safety.

Claude Code v2.1.163 introduces version management controls via `requiredMinimumVersion` and `requiredMaximumVersion` settings, adds a `/plugin list` command with filtering, and enhances the `/btw` command with clipboard copying.
