# Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

## [1.2.0] - 2026-04-03

### Added

- **Dashboard-based UptimeRobot setup** — users can now paste their UptimeRobot Main API key directly in the dashboard and create an external uptime monitor
- **Optional WhatsApp mode** — WhatsApp now stays fully disabled unless `WHATSAPP_ENABLED=true`

### Changed

- **Documentation simplified** — README now explains the simple dashboard flow for external keep-alive, which key to use, and where to paste it

### Removed

- **Internal self-ping keep-alive** — removed `keep-alive.sh` and all startup wiring because internal self-pings do not reliably prevent free-tier HF Space sleep

## [1.1.0] - 2026-03-31

### Added

- **Pre-built Docker image** — uses `ghcr.io/openclaw/openclaw:latest` multi-stage build for much faster builds (minutes instead of 30+)
- **Python huggingface_hub sync** — `workspace-sync.py` uses the `huggingface_hub` library for more reliable HF Dataset sync (handles auth, LFS, retries). Falls back to git-based sync automatically
- **Password auth** — `OPENCLAW_PASSWORD` for simpler login (optional alternative to token)
- **Trusted proxies** — `TRUSTED_PROXIES` env var fixes "Proxy headers detected from untrusted address" errors on HF Spaces
- **Allowed origins** — `ALLOWED_ORIGINS` env var to lock down Control UI access
- **40+ LLM providers** — Added support for OpenCode, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Qwen, Z.ai, Moonshot, Mistral, xAI, NVIDIA, Volcengine, BytePlus, Cohere, Groq, HuggingFace Inference, and more
- **OpenCode Zen/Go** — support for OpenCode's tested model service

### Changed

- Provider detection now uses `case` statement (cleaner, faster) with correct OpenClaw provider IDs
- Model IDs now sourced from OpenClaw docs (not OpenRouter) for accuracy
- Google API key env var corrected to `GEMINI_API_KEY`

## [1.0.0] - 2026-03-30

### 🎉 Initial Release

#### Features

- **Any LLM provider** — Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT-4), Google (Gemini)
- **Telegram integration** — connect via @BotFather, supports multiple users
- **Built-in keep-alive** — self-pings to prevent HF Spaces 48h sleep
- **Auto-sync workspace** — commits + pushes to HF Dataset every 10 min
- **Auto-create backup** — creates HF Dataset automatically on first run
- **Graceful shutdown** — saves workspace before container stops
- **Health endpoint** — `/health` on port 7861 for monitoring
- **DNS fix** — bypasses HF Spaces internal DNS restrictions
- **Version pinning** — lock OpenClaw to a specific version
- **Startup banner** — clean summary of all running services
- **Zero-config defaults** — just 2 secrets to get started

#### Architecture

- `start.sh` — config generator + validation + orchestrator
- `workspace-sync.sh` — periodic workspace backup
- `health-server.js` — lightweight health endpoint
- `dns-fix.js` — DNS override for HF network restrictions
