[Release] openclaw/openclaw v2026.4.24-beta.5: openclaw 2026.4.24-beta.5

OpenClaw v2026.4.24-beta.5 introduces Google Meet as a bundled participant plugin with real-time voice capabilities, adds DeepSeek V4 models to the default catalog, and enhances browser automation with coordinate clicks and improved tab recovery. The release includes significant infrastructure improvements for lighter startup times through static model catalogs and lazy provider dependencies, plus numerous bug fixes across Telegram, browser automation, MCP runtime management, and session handling.

Key Points

• •Google Meet integration: bundled plugin with personal Google auth, Chrome/Twilio realtime sessions, artifact/attendance exports, and recovery tooling for open tabs
• •DeepSeek V4 Flash and Pro models added to bundled catalog with V4 Flash as onboarding default; fixed thinking/replay behavior for follow-up tool-call turns
• •Real-time voice loops enabled across Talk, Voice Call, and Google Meet for deeper tool-backed answers using full OpenClaw agent
• •Browser automation improvements: coordinate clicks, longer action budgets, per-profile headless overrides, and steadier tab reuse/recovery
• •Lighter startup infrastructure: static model catalogs, manifest-backed model rows, lazy provider dependencies, and external runtime-dependency repair
• •Fixed packaged installs to preserve package-root runtime dependencies and exported subpaths when bundled plugin mirrors fall back to copying
• •Heartbeat scheduler fix: clamp oversized delays through safe timer helper to prevent Node timeout cap crashes
• •Telegram polling fix: removed startup persisted-offset preflight to prevent self-conflicts on polling restarts
• •Browser/Playwright fixes: ignore benign route races during navigation and bind ARIA snapshot refs to live DOM nodes for follow-up actions
• •MCP runtime management: retire bundled MCP runtimes at execution end, add idle eviction, and hot-apply config changes by disposing cached runtimes
