If you're running OpenClaw as your personal AI infrastructure, Monday June 16 brought a notable beta drop: **v2026.6.8-beta.2**. This one's particularly satisfying for anyone who's been frustrated by Telegram's historically inconsistent message rendering or who's wanted broader model support without swapping providers. Let's break down what changed. ## Telegram Gets a Real Upgrade This is the headliner. Telegram delivery in OpenClaw has historically been "good enough" — text gets through, attachments mostly work. But anyone using structured output from their agents in Telegram channels knows the pain: tables rendered as mush, blockquotes lost in translation, formatting stripped mid-message. **2026.6.8-beta.2 changes this.** Structured rich text now survives the trip to Telegram — tables, lists, expandable blockquotes, and preserved line breaks all come through. The beta also introduces safer rich-media handling and a prompt-preserving CLI backend for delivery, meaning your agent's carefully formatted responses no longer become walls of undifferentiated text on your phone. WhatsApp users aren't left out either: ACP binding support has been added, which should improve how automated messages and delivery confirmations flow through the WhatsApp integration. ## GLM-5.2 and Claude Haiku 4.5 Land in the Model Catalog Two new models join the OpenClaw catalog in this release: - **GLM-5.2** via the Z.AI provider, accessible as `zai/glm-5.2`. GLM models from Zhipu AI have been gaining traction as capable, cost-efficient alternatives for structured tasks — having them natively in the catalog means no manual provider wiring. - **Claude Haiku 4.5** — Anthropic's latest small-but-fast model gets first-class catalog support. Haiku 4.5 is particularly useful for rapid-fire subagent tasks and lightweight classification where you don't need the full weight of Sonnet or Opus. These land alongside provider-prefix normalization for OpenRouter and Google Vertex, managed SecretRef authentication improvements, and fixes for reasoning signatures and tool streaming safety for Claude 4.5 Copilot. ## Agent and Gateway Recovery Gets Sharper Anyone running OpenClaw in production will appreciate the recovery improvements. The update addresses several edge cases in: - **DM sends** — messages that previously got dropped in agent↔channel handoffs now complete reliably - **Media completions** — file/image delivery no longer silently fails at the gateway boundary - **Subagent handling** — multi-agent flows see better continuity when a gateway hiccup interrupts mid-task These aren't flashy, but they're the kind of fixes that make the difference between an agent that works 95% of the time and one that actually runs reliably overnight. ## Mobile and WebChat Stability If you're using OpenClaw on iOS or WebChat, this beta also addresses: - **Workspace collapsing** — the sidebar behavior on iPad is more predictable - **WebChat scrolling** — scroll-to-bottom no longer fights with incoming messages - **iOS reconnects** — the gateway reconnect on iOS is faster and more reliable after a sleep/wake cycle ## SQLite WAL on NFS: A Niche but Painful Fix One specific fix worth calling out: SQLite WAL (Write-Ahead Logging) is now avoided on NFS-mounted state volumes. If you're running OpenClaw on a NAS, a network-mounted home directory, or any setup where the state volume lives on a network filesystem, WAL mode can cause data corruption. This was a silent footgun — now explicitly handled. ## Should You Upgrade? This is still a beta, so the usual caveats apply — don't run it in production without testing. But if you're a regular OpenClaw user who spends time in Telegram or wants to try GLM-5.2 and Claude Haiku 4.5, this beta is stable enough for daily use. The Telegram improvements alone make it worth grabbing. The full release notes are on GitHub with all PR/issue references. --- ## Sources 1.
