📢 OpenClaw Releases

🌟 OpenClaw 2026.6.6-beta.1 🚧 Pre-release

2026.6.6

Highlights

Security boundaries are substantially tighter across transcripts, sandbox binds, host environment inheritance, MCP stdio, Codex HTTP access, native search policy, elevated sender checks, deleted-agent ACP bypasses, loopback tools, Discord moderation, and Teams group actions; exec approvals now fail closed on timeout. (#91529, #91618, #91615, #91619, #91741, #91745, #91746, #91748, #91749, #91750, #91751, #91752, #91763, #89938) Thanks @joshavant, @pgondhi987, @mmaps, @eleqtrizit, @shakkernerd, and @drobison00.
Telegram delivery is safer and more coherent: account-scoped topics route to the right agent, streamed text survives tool calls, `/compact` works on generic ingress, callback handling uses concrete APIs, draft chunking is shared, durable dispatch dedupe moved into the SDK, and unauthorized DM text stays out of cache and prompt context. (#91189, #88682, #89588, #90212, #91876, #91874, #91904, #91478, #91915) Thanks @codysai001, @alexzhu0, @joelnish...

🌟 openclaw 2026.6.5

Highlights

QQBot now strips model reasoning/thinking scaffolding before native delivery, preventing raw `<thinking>` content from leaking into channel replies. (#89913, #90132) Thanks @openperf.
MCP tool results now coerce `resource_link`, `resource`, `audio`, malformed image, and future non-text/image blocks at the materialize boundary, preventing Anthropic 400s and poisoned session history after a tool returns richer MCP content. (#90710, #90728) Thanks @RanSHammer and @849261680.
Anthropic extended-thinking sessions recover after prompt-cache expiry or Gateway restart because stream start events wait for `message_start`, letting pre-generation signature errors trigger the existing recovery retry. (#90667, #90697) Thanks @openperf.
Parallel is now a bundled `web_search` provider with `PARALLEL_API_KEY` discovery, guarded endpoint handling, cache-safe session ids, onboarding picker support, and docs. (#85158) Thanks @NormallyGaussian.
Google Vertex ADC users get ...

🤖 Scientists discover a strange property in rice and turn it into a smart material

Scientists discovered that rice behaves in a highly unusual way: it weakens under rapid compression but stays stronger when pressure is applied slowly. Using this effect, they engineered a new material that reacts differently to gentle movements and sudden impacts. The material can adapt its stiffness automatically, opening the door to safer soft robots and protective equipment that responds instantly to collisions.

🤖 AI could uncover new physics faster but there’s a surprising catch

Scientists found that transfer learning can make the search for new physics in the universe much faster, slashing the need for expensive simulations. Yet the approach can backfire when AI relies too heavily on familiar patterns, potentially missing evidence of something truly new.

Mouse with Severed Spinal Cord Recovers ‘Normal’ Movement After Potentially Revolutionary Treatment

In an impressive early demonstration of a potentially revolutionary technology, biotech engineers in Zurich used micro-sized robots and stem cells to restore normal movement in a mouse whose spinal cord was entirely severed. The tech was also demonstrated in zebrafish, and the engineers behind the demonstration say it brings multiple advantages over existing, similar methods.
