Release Notes

May 13, 2026

v0.0.41

NemoClaw v0.0.41 improves Docker-driver onboarding and release compatibility:

  • nemoclaw onboard can pin fresh OpenShell installs to a published release that fits the blueprint’s tested version range, while retaining the installer fallback when release metadata is unavailable.
  • Docker-driver gateway startup verifies that sandbox containers can reach host.openshell.internal before reporting the gateway healthy, and Linux firewall failures include a targeted ufw remediation.
  • Local Ollama setup probes sandbox-to-proxy reachability before it commits the inference route, so blocked 11435 traffic stops onboarding with a rerun-safe fix instead of leaving a broken route.
  • Linux Docker-driver GPU onboarding can recreate the OpenShell-managed sandbox container with NVIDIA GPU access and leaves diagnostics plus cleanup guidance when GPU readiness fails.
  • nemoclaw uninstall removes all installer-managed OpenShell helper binaries unless you pass --keep-openshell.

v0.0.40

NemoClaw v0.0.40 improves onboarding reliability, local inference setup, and sandbox recovery:

  • nemoclaw onboard uses the Docker-driver OpenShell gateway path on macOS with OpenShell 0.0.37, repairs incomplete Docker-driver installs before startup, and installs the platform-specific gateway asset it needs.
  • The Docker-driver gateway startup check waits for the gateway port to accept TCP connections before it reports the gateway as healthy, and startup failures now include child process exit details.
  • Local Ollama setup requires the authenticated reverse proxy token on every native Ollama API route, including GET /api/tags.
  • The Linux Ollama install path preflights zstd before running the official installer and explains why each sudo-backed setup step needs elevated privileges.
  • The onboarding provider menu offers an already-running local vLLM server directly when localhost:8000 responds. Managed vLLM install and start options now appear by default on DGX Spark and DGX Station, while generic Linux NVIDIA GPU hosts remain behind the experimental opt-in.
  • Policy tier defaults are filtered by active agent support, so presets such as Brave Search are not reapplied to agents that do not support that integration.
  • nemoclaw <name> connect checks dashboard forward reachability with a TCP probe before it reports a forward as stale.
  • Sandbox startup captures a known-good OpenClaw config baseline and restores it on restart if /sandbox/.openclaw/openclaw.json becomes empty.
  • The NemoClaw OpenClaw plugin package declares compatibility metadata for OpenClaw package tooling.
