@@ -10,9 +10,13 @@ Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai
 - Docker/timezone override: add `OPENCLAW_TZ` so `docker-setup.sh` can pin gateway and CLI containers to a chosen IANA timezone instead of inheriting the daemon default. (#34119) Thanks @Lanfei.
 - iOS/onboarding: add a first-run welcome pager before gateway setup, stop auto-opening the QR scanner, and show `/pair qr` instructions on the connect step. (#45054) Thanks @ngutman.
 - Browser/existing-session: add an official Chrome DevTools MCP attach mode for signed-in live Chrome sessions, with docs for `chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging` enablement and direct backlinks to Chrome’s own setup guides.
+- Browser/act automation: add batched actions, selector targeting, and delayed clicks for browser act requests with normalized batch dispatch. Thanks @vincentkoc.
 
 ### Fixes
 
+- Dashboard/agents and chat: scope the Agents > Skills view to the selected agent, restore clean sidebar status and log rendering, and keep oversized inline markdown images from expanding across the chat UI. (#45451) Thanks @BunsDev.
+- Telegram/webhook auth: validate the Telegram webhook secret before reading or parsing request bodies, so unauthenticated requests are rejected immediately instead of consuming up to 1 MB first. Thanks @space08.
+- Build/plugin-sdk bundling: bundle plugin-sdk subpath entries in one shared build pass so published packages stop duplicating shared chunks and avoid the recent plugin-sdk memory blow-up. (#45426) Thanks @TarasShyn.
 - Dashboard/agents and chat: scope the Agents > Skills view to the selected agent, restore clean sidebar status and log rendering, and keep oversized inline markdown images from expanding across the chat UI. (#45451) Thanks @BunsDev.
 - Browser/existing-session: accept text-only `list_pages` and `new_page` responses from Chrome DevTools MCP so live-session tab discovery and new-tab open flows keep working when the server omits structured page metadata.
 - Ollama/reasoning visibility: stop promoting native `thinking` and `reasoning` fields into final assistant text so local reasoning models no longer leak internal thoughts in normal replies. (#45330) Thanks @xi7ang.

 # Android App (Node)
 
+> **Note:** The Android app has not been publicly released yet. The source code is available in the [OpenClaw repository](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw) under `apps/android`. You can build it yourself using Java 17 and the Android SDK (`./gradlew :app:assembleDebug`). See [apps/android/README.md](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw/blob/main/apps/android/README.md) for build instructions.
