This post covers what shipped in v1.1.0 and what it means for OpenClaw VPS operators.
What shipped
- Web auto-replies now resize/recompress media, honor inbound.reply.mediaMaxMb, detect media kind, and enforce provider caps.
- Sessions can send the system prompt only once (optional sessionIntro) and typing indicators refresh on a configurable interval.
- Optional voice-note transcription feeds a Transcript block plus media path into prompts before replying.
- Command auto-replies return structured {payload, meta}, respect mediaMaxMb for local media, log Claude metadata, and include the command cwd in timeout messages.
- Added focused tests for command and transcription helpers.
Checksum (sha256): 9aaaaad7ca87287529b86f857d66d2c3123c23f7a764e36c68b520f57ae82bfa
What matters for hosted operators
- Validate channel delivery behavior (web chat + Telegram).
- Verify model/provider settings and fallback behavior.
- Run a smoke test after deploy: message flow, tool call, and response quality.
Post-upgrade checklist
- Send/receive test messages in active channels.
- Confirm bot settings and auth paths still behave as expected.
- Check billing/usage visibility and dashboard status.
- Log regressions immediately and keep rollback notes.
