openclaw 2026.6.8: Richer Telegram and WhatsApp Delivery

OpenClaw 2026.6.8 is now stable, landing on June 16 after a week of beta testing across three pre-release candidates. The headline change is channel delivery quality for Telegram and WhatsApp.

What’s New in 2026.6.8

Telegram improvements:

  • Structured text rendering: tables, lists, expandable blockquotes
  • Intentional line breaks preserved
  • CLI-backed replies for richer interactions

WhatsApp improvements:

  • ACP bindings now honored properly

These changes follow the 2026.6.6 security-focused release (tighter fail-closed boundaries around transcript, sandbox, MCP, browser, channel, and exec-approval paths) and the 2026.6.7-beta.1 reliability release (Telegram polling/preview recovery, Slack transcript retention, and image source preservation).
