- 2026-07-29 — NemoClaw v0.0.97, Kilo Code v7.4.17
NemoClaw tagged v0.0.97 (43 PRs since v0.0.96): inference set now creates a missing compatible provider, MCP discovery accepts case-variant SSE media types, and Jetson onboarding passes the DRI render-device group for non-root CUDA. Kilo Code v7.4.17 adds a prompt navigator rail and side-panel terminals. - 2026-07-28 — Claude Opus 5 ships, IronClaw 1.0.0 stable, Claude Code v2.1.220
Claude Opus 5 (claude-opus-5) landed July 24 — 1M context, 128k output, thinking on by default, at Opus 4.8's price — and is now Claude Code's default Opus. Disabling thinking at effort xhigh/max is a breaking 400. Opus 4.7 lost fast mode. IronClaw shipped its first stable 1.0.0 rebuild with no migration from 0.29.x. Plus Kilo Code v7.4.16, NemoClaw CVE backports, and OpenAI's new transcription models. - 2026-07-24 — NemoClaw v0.0.94: sandbox config-destruction fix, Discord slash-command policy fix
A NemoClaw stability-and-recovery day. v0.0.94 stops shields up/down from destroying a sandbox's openclaw.json when .config-hash is missing, fixes Discord bot slash-command deployment failing with policy_denied 403, tears down the dashboard port-forward on stop, and re-pairs the gateway after a cross-sandbox snapshot restore. No other platform shipped today. - 2026-07-23 — Claude Code v2.1.218, Managed Agents effort levels, OpenAI hard spend limits
A developer-experience day. Claude Code v2.1.218 backgrounds /code-review, fixes Windows \u-path corruption, and stops the left arrow discarding your conversation. Claude's API adds effort levels and lifecycle webhooks to Managed Agents. OpenAI adds hard spend limits. NemoClaw documents v0.0.92 and consolidates remote deployment onto one headless-server guide. - 2026-07-22 — NemoClaw ships OpenClaw 2026.7.1 + node-tar CVE fix, Kilo Code v7.4.15 stable
A security-maintenance day. NemoClaw bumps its reviewed OpenClaw distribution to 2026.7.1 and remediates node-tar CVE-2026-59873 across every sandbox image. Kilo Code v7.4.15 is the first stable since 7.4.11. Claude Code v2.1.217 fixes an MCP memory leak and a Windows auto-update that could delete claude.exe. - 2026-07-21 — IronClaw 1.0.0-rc.1 rewrite (no migration) + Hermes v0.19.0 Quicksilver
Five platforms shipped. IronClaw 1.0.0-rc.1 is a ground-up rewrite with no migration from 0.29.x. Hermes v0.19.0 cuts first-token latency ~80% and turns smart approvals on by default. Plus Claude Code v2.1.216, Kilo Code v7.4.13, and NemoClaw v0.0.89/v0.0.90. - 2026-07-20 — NemoClaw main: managed vLLM restart reaping + status --json fix
July 20 2026: a quiet Sunday. NemoClaw's main branch adds Docker --init to managed vLLM so restarts reap child processes (#7221) and fixes the status --json regression that broke Deep Agents parsing (#7218). The rest is DGX Station GB300 installer hardening. No new Claude Code, IronClaw, Kilo Code, Hermes, or ChatGPT/OpenAI release. - 2026-07-19 — Claude Code v2.1.215 + NemoClaw messaging-preset egress disclosure
July 19 2026: Claude Code v2.1.215 makes /verify and /code-review explicit-invoke only. NemoClaw discloses full messaging-preset egress before applying a policy (the WhatsApp preset had a silent raw.githubusercontent.com fetch), fixes a detached Hermes forward watcher surviving uninstall, and sanitizes inference get output. No new IronClaw, Kilo Code, Hermes, or ChatGPT/OpenAI release. - 2026-07-18 — Claude Code v2.1.210–214 + Kilo Code v7.4.8–11 + NemoClaw v0.0.87
