OpenClaw 3.8 Update: Agents Recognize Users, New Backup Feature & Multiple Security Fixes

OpenClaw's update pace remains fast—just one day after releasing version 3.7 on March 8, version 3.8 was launched on March 9, keeping programmers worldwide busy adapting. This update focuses on four core features to enhance security and convenience.

The new ACP traceability mechanism allows agents to recognize the identity, permissions, and source of command senders, solving permission management issues in collaborative scenarios. The official backup feature supports one-click creation and verification, providing a safety net for upgrades or configuration changes. It also fixes Telegram duplicate message bugs and completes over 12 security vulnerability patches.

Additionally, details like TalkMode timeout configuration and TUI terminal theme adaptation are optimized to better fit user habits.
