 ## 2026.1.16 (unreleased)
 
+### Highlights
+- Web search: add `country`/`language` parameters (schema + Brave API) and docs. (#1046) — thanks @YuriNachos.
+- Plugins: add Zalo Personal plugin (`@clawdbot/zalouser`) and unify channel directory for plugins. (#1032) — thanks @suminhthanh.
+- Models: add Vercel AI Gateway auth choice + onboarding updates. (#1016) — thanks @timolins.
+- Sessions: add `session.identityLinks` for cross-platform DM session linking. (#1033) — thanks @thewilloftheshadow.
+
+### Breaking
+- **BREAKING:** Discord/Telegram channel tokens now prefer config over env (env is fallback only).
+- **BREAKING:** Matrix channel credentials now prefer config over env (env is fallback only).
+
+### Changes
+- Tools: improve `web_fetch` extraction using Readability (with fallback).
+- Tools: add Firecrawl fallback for `web_fetch` when configured.
+- Tools: send Chrome-like headers by default for `web_fetch` to improve extraction on bot-sensitive sites.
+- Tools: Firecrawl fallback now uses bot-circumvention + cache by default; remove basic HTML fallback when extraction fails.
+- Directory: unify `clawdbot directory` across channels and plugin channels.
+- UI: allow deleting sessions from the Control UI.
+- Skills: add user-invocable skill commands and expanded skill command registration.
+- Telegram: default reaction level to minimal and enable reaction notifications by default.
+- Telegram: allow reply-chain messages to bypass mention gating in groups. (#1038) — thanks @adityashaw2.
+- Cron: isolated cron jobs now start a fresh session id on every run to prevent context buildup.
+- Docs: add `/help` hub, Node/npm PATH guide, and expand directory CLI docs.
+
+### Fixes
+- Messages: `/stop` now hard-aborts queued followups and sub-agent runs; suppress zero-count stop notes.
+- Sessions: reset `compactionCount` on `/new` and `/reset`, and preserve `sessions.json` file mode (0600).
+- Sessions: repair orphaned user turns before embedded prompts.
+- Channels: treat replies to the bot as implicit mentions across supported channels.
+- WhatsApp: scope self-chat response prefix; inject pending-only group history and clear after any processed message.
+- Agents: drop unsigned Gemini tool calls and avoid JSON Schema `format` keyword collisions.
+- Auth: inherit/merge sub-agent auth profiles from the main agent.
+- Gateway: resolve local auth for security probe and validate gateway token/password file modes. (#1011, #1022) — thanks @ivanrvpereira, @kkarimi.
+- Signal/iMessage: bound transport readiness waits to 30s with periodic logging. (#1014) — thanks @Szpadel.
+- OpenAI image-gen: remove deprecated `response_format` and use URL downloads.
+- CLI: auto-update global installs when installed via a package manager.
+- Discord: truncate skill command descriptions to 100 chars for slash command limits. (#1018) — thanks @evalexpr.
+- Security: bump `tar` to 7.5.3.
