[Release] openclaw/openclaw v2026.6.11-beta.2: openclaw 2026.6.11-beta.2
OpenClaw v2026.6.11-beta.2 introduces enhanced channel control with Slack relay mode and native Mattermost commands, richer operator workflows via file-driven message handling and remote wake-up paths, safer plugin distribution with externalized plugins and icon metadata, stronger mobile operations with improved Android settings, and more reliable agent turns through Codex partial deltas and prompt-cache stability. The release includes 308 merged PRs addressing gateway tooling, provider coverage, channel delivery reliability, WhatsApp message identity preservation, gateway session safety, agent fallback behavior, and configuration guardrails across multiple integrations.
