This post covers what shipped in v1.2.1 and what it means for OpenClaw VPS operators.
What shipped
warelay 1.2.1
- Heartbeat: warelay heartbeat now supports --message/--body for manual sends on web or twilio, with --dry-run to preview payloads.
- Media handling: MIME-first detection (magic bytes > headers > extension) so images/audio/video/doc send correctly even with wrong suffixes, and images still recompress under caps.
- Hosting/inbound: hosted and saved media files are renamed with the detected extension, ensuring correct Content-Type for Twilio/web round-trips (including Baileys inbound saves).
- Docs/tests: changelog and image docs updated; added coverage for inbound media extension preservation.
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.
