2026-09-21-openclaw-seven-stables-in-20-days-with-release-gates-visibly-waived
Seven stables in 20 days, with release gates visibly waived. The parent window was zero releases. This window shipped a stable roughly every three days. The v2026.9.4 and v2026.9.5 release pages no longer carry notes; they link docs.openclaw.ai and a CHANGELOG/<version>.md at raw main. That file 404s at v2026.9.4, and CHANGELOG/2026.9.5.md exists at v2026.9.5.
Channel: tagged-release. Half: defect. Date: 2026-08-31 to 2026-09-19.
Operator consequence: For 9.4 and 9.5, the release page states which qualification lanes were skipped. Read that before auto-updating a production Gateway. The beta channel currently gives you nothing ahead of stable.
