OpenClaw v2026.6.1 adds mobile-delivery support and improved recovery

OpenClaw published v2026.6.1 on June 3, according to the project’s GitHub compare view and releases page. The release bundled changes to recovery paths, outbound delivery and mobile-facing user interface surfaces, while also updating Skill Workshop and Workboard components. (github.com) GitHub’s compare page shows 15 commits, 226 changed files and eight contributors between v2026.6.1-beta.2 and release/2026.6.1. (github.com) The release landed as OpenClaw’s GitHub project continued to move quickly. GitHub’s releases page showed v2026.6.2-beta.1 as the active pre-release line on June 4, one day after the v2026.6.1 release commits were recorded. (github.com) ### Which parts of v2026.6.1 were aimed at recovery? GitHub’s release notes say gateway, agent, provider, model and memory paths were updated to recover from session write-lock release failures, abandoned app-server startups and other runtime issues. The same notes say security, policy and configuration recovery were tightened to reject corrupt shell snapshots and unsupported policy keys. (github.com) June 3 commit entries on the compare page show one of the release commits was titled “fix (exec): reject corrupt shell snapshots,” and it was committed by RomneyDa. (github.com) Other listed commits from that day included changes by Vincent Koc to Workboard operations, tests and gateway RPC probing. ### What changed for mobile delivery and mobile sessions? GitHub’s release notes say “UI/mobile” changes in the release added Workboard keyboard movement controls, tightened Workboard card operations, improved Android companion-first shell user experience and documented chat acknowledgment timing metadata. (github.com) The notes also say channel and outbound paths were hardened around duplicate transcript mirrors, streamed-final previews and delivery-related errors. A NewReleases mirror of OpenClaw’s v2026.6.1 beta line described iOS changes including hosted push relay defaults, realtime Talk playback, a guarded WebSocket ping path for more reliable mobile sessions and native iPad display layouts. (github.com) That posting refers to v2026.6.1-beta.3 rather than the final release, but it matches the broader mobile-delivery direction described in GitHub’s release materials. ### Where does Skill Workshop show up in this release? GitHub’s releases page says chat, Control UI, Skill Workshop, Workboard, Android companion shell and WebChat flows were updated to preserve visible streaming text, reconcile completed sends, expose acknowledgment timing and improve accessibility and navigation. (github.com) The same page lists Skill Workshop again among surfaces updated in the next beta line, indicating it remains an active part of the product’s release cadence. OpenClaw’s documentation credits Vincent Koc with work on agents, telemetry, hooks and security, and the v2026.6.1 release notes attribute several UI and Workboard changes to him. (newreleases.io) Peter Steinberger is listed in the same credits page as creator. ### How much code moved between beta and release? GitHub’s compare view says the path from v2026.6.1-beta.2 to release/2026.6.1 covered 15 commits, 226 changed files and eight contributors. The visible commit list includes fixes for outbound poll modifiers, Workboard operations, test resets and gateway RPC probing, all dated June 3. (github.com) GitHub’s repository page describes OpenClaw as a personal open-source AI assistant, and the organization page shows dozens of related repositories under the project. The release activity suggests v2026.6.1 was one step in a fast-moving weekly or near-weekly release cycle rather than a standalone one-off update. (docs.openclaw.ai) That cadence is an inference from the dated release entries and active beta line. ### What comes next after v2026.6.1? GitHub’s releases page shows v2026.6.2-beta.1 was posted about one hour before the page was crawled on June 4. The listed highlights for that beta include changes to plugin and skill installs, policy checks, channel behavior, Workboard and Android companion shell navigation, with credits to named contributors including Josh Avant, Vincent Koc and others.
