Netclaw 0.23.0-beta.1

0.23.0-beta.1 2026-06-03

Netclaw v0.23.0-beta.1 — our first public beta, debuting the opt-in beta release channel itself

This is a prerelease. Stable installs are unaffected — the default install, Docker :latest, and the GitHub "Latest" release all still point at 0.22.1, and only opt-in beta testers are ever offered this build.

Try the beta

  • Linux / macOS: curl -sSL https://releases.netclaw.dev/install.sh | bash -s -- --channel beta
  • Windows: download install.ps1, then ./install.ps1 -Channel beta
  • Docker: docker pull ghcr.io/netclaw-dev/netclaw:beta
  • To get update notices on the beta line, set Daemon.UpdateChannel to beta in your config.

Features

  • Opt-in beta release channel — Netclaw can now publish and install prereleases without ever touching a default install. The release manifest gained an additive latestPrerelease pointer (newest of all releases) alongside latest (newest stable); --channel beta / -Channel beta and the rolling :beta Docker tag resolve to it, while stable clients structurally only ever read latest. (#1314)

  • Channel-aware, SemVer-correct update check — the binary update check now honors Daemon.UpdateChannel (stable default, or beta) and compares versions by SemVer 2.0.0 precedence. Beta testers are notified of the next prerelease and automatically roll onto a stable release once it supersedes their beta; stable users are never offered a prerelease. (#1315)

  • Bounded tool output with file spill — large tool outputs are now bounded and spilled to a file instead of flooding the session, keeping context lean while preserving the full output on disk. (#1305)

Bug Fixes

  • Provider modality probing fixed — Netclaw no longer persists guessed modalities, and the model-probe timeout and visibility issues are resolved. (#1311)

  • OpenAI Codex calls no longer hang — non-streaming Codex calls are now served via streaming under the hood, so they complete reliably. (#1289)

  • Docker reaps orphaned subprocesses — the container now uses tini so orphaned subprocesses are reaped instead of accumulating as zombies; smoke setup was deduplicated. (#1306)

  • Init wizard readiness race fixed — init readiness is now gated on a daemon restart generation and a re-resolved endpoint, closing a race in the setup wizard. (#1307)

  • Docker owns the daemon lifecycle — the container is now the sole owner of the daemon lifecycle, fixing conflicting restart behavior. (#1282)

  • Shell pipe reads are bounded — pipe reads are now bounded to MaxOutputChars before truncating, preventing runaway memory on huge command output. (#1298)

  • Shell verifies the working directory — Netclaw confirms the working directory exists before launching a process, surfacing a clear error instead of a cryptic failure. (#1299)

  • Lighter daemon memory footprint — netclawd now uses Workstation GC, reducing baseline memory use. (#1295)

  • Zero context-window models ignored — models that report a zero context window are now ignored instead of breaking model selection. (#1285)

  • Docker bind-mount ownership repaired — bind-mount ownership is corrected on startup so mounted data is writable. (#1281)

  • Windows installer uses User-scope PATH — the Windows install instruction now updates the User-scope PATH so netclaw is found in new shells. (#1274)
