OpenClaw v2026.6.11 was published on June 30, 2026. This article is a plain-English guide to the published GitHub release notes, not a separate changelog.

We heard the feedback. v2026.6.11 focuses on the rough edges that make OpenClaw feel less dependable, with fixes for misplaced replies, stuck sends, reconnects, model setup failures, and safer admin defaults.

Highlights from the GitHub notes

• Fixes newer Google Chat direct messages sometimes being treated like group conversations, so they reach the correct one-to-one chat while Space and group-chat messages keep their existing routing. #58993
• Feishu voice replies from OpenClaw now show their duration in the chat bubble, so recipients can see how long the audio is before playing it. #89172 Related #53798.
• Discord and Telegram replies and mirrored chat history stay tied to the intended conversation more consistently, including across repeated Telegram replies and session changes. #89911
• Background image, video, and music results now return to the chat that requested them when the task starts without a full conversation target, instead of appearing to fail after creation or being sent to the wrong peer as the session moves. #89949 Related #86034.
• Telegram answers now stay attached to the user's current question when they quote an earlier bot message, while quotes of other people's messages still reply to the selected quote. #90475
• QQBot group admins can choose how broadly slash commands are available, and private-only commands now direct users to a private chat instead of being exposed or silently ignored in groups. #92154
• Heartbeat checks using reasoning-capable models now show the assistant's intended reply instead of exposing internal reasoning in Telegram, WhatsApp, and other channels, while opt-in Thinking messages still work. #92356 Related #92260.
• Telegram progress-mode chats now clear an old progress bubble before newer tool output or artifacts appear, keeping the conversation in a clean, readable order. #93002 Related #90753.

Should you update?

If one of the highlighted areas matches how you use OpenClaw, this release is worth reviewing. For production systems, read the full upstream notes first, especially when the tag is marked as stable.
