Claude developer documentation and changelog updates

Claude API Changelog Monitoring

Claude integrations depend on rapidly evolving model capabilities, developer tooling, authentication flows, and documentation conventions. This Claude API Changelog Monitoring page helps teams review those updates in one place so application behavior and AI-powered workflows stay aligned with current platform changes.

Consistent Claude API Changelog Monitoring helps product and engineering teams catch model, tooling, and documentation changes before they ripple into prompts, agent workflows, or customer-facing AI features. That makes it easier to plan updates deliberately instead of reacting after something drifts.

The benefit of Claude API Changelog Monitoring is simple: your team gets a repeatable way to watch changes, evaluate risk, and act before small upstream updates turn into customer-facing bugs. Claude developer documentation and changelog updates

Claude API down?

Claude API down? Soon we will add direct API status monitoring alongside Claude API Changelog Monitoring. For now, go to the official Anthropic or Claude status resources on the provider website. In the future, we plan to detect issues even before the public status page is updated.

2.1.111

Claude Opus 4.7 xhigh is now available! Use /effort to tune speed vs. intelligence Auto mode is now available for Max subscribers when using Opus 4.7 Added xhigh effort level for Opus 4.7, sitting between high and max. Available via /effort, --effort, and the model picker; other models fall back to high /effort now opens an interactive slider when called without arguments, with arrow-key navigation between levels and Enter to confirm Added "Auto (match terminal)" theme option that matches your terminal's dark/light mode — select it from /theme Added /less-permission-prompts skill — scans transcripts for common read-only Bash and MCP tool calls and proposes a prioritized allowlist for .claude/settings.json Added /ultrareview for running comprehensive code review in the cloud using parallel multi-agent analysis and critique — invoke with no arguments to review your current branch, or /ultrareview to fetch and review a specific GitHub PR Auto mode no longer requires --enable-auto-mode Windows: PowerShell tool is progressively rolling out. Opt in or out with CLAUDE_CODE_USE_POWERSHELL_TOOL. On Linux and macOS, enable with CLAUDE_CODE_USE_POWERSHELL_TOOL=1 (requires pwsh on PATH) Read-only bash commands with glob patterns (e.g. ls *.ts) and commands starting with cd && no longer trigger a permission prompt Suggest the closest matching subcommand when claude is invoked with a near-miss typo (e.g. claude udpate → "Did you mean claude update?") Plan files are now named after your prompt (e.g. fix-auth-race-snug-otter.md) instead of purely random words Improved /setup-vertex and /setup-bedrock to show the actual settings.json path when CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR is set, seed model candidates from existing pins on re-run, and offer a "with 1M context" option for supported models /skills menu now supports sorting by estimated token count — press t to toggle Ctrl+U now clears the entire input buffer (previously: delete to start of line); press Ctrl+Y to restore Ctrl+L now forces a full screen redraw in addition to clearing the prompt input Transcript view footer now shows [ (dump to scrollback) and v (open in editor) shortcuts The "+N lines" marker for truncated long pastes is now a full-width rule for easier scanning Headless --output-format stream-json now includes plugin_errors on the init event when plugins are demoted for unsatisfied dependencies Added OTEL_LOG_RAW_API_BODIES environment variable to emit full API request and response bodies as OpenTelemetry log events for debugging Suppressed spurious decompression, network, and transient error messages that could appear in the TUI during normal operation Reverted the v2.1.110 cap on non-streaming fallback retries — it traded long waits for more outright failures during API overload Fixed terminal display tearing (random characters, drifting input) in iTerm2 + tmux setups when terminal notifications are sent Fixed @ file suggestions re-scanning the entire project on every turn in non-git working directories, and showing only config files in freshly-initialized git repos with no tracked files Fixed LSP diagnostics from before an edit appearing after it, causing the model to re-read files it just edited Fixed tab-completing /resume immediately resuming an arbitrary titled session instead of showing the session picker Fixed /context grid rendering with extra blank lines between rows Fixed /clear dropping the session name set by /rename, causing statusline output to lose session_name Improved plugin error handling: dependency errors now distinguish conflicting, invalid, and overly complex version requirements; fixed stale resolved versions after plugin update; plugin install now recovers from interrupted prior installs Fixed Claude calling a non-existent commit skill and showing "Unknown skill: commit" for users without a custom /commit command Fixed 429 rate-limit errors on Bedrock/Vertex/Foundry referencing status.claude.com (it only covers Anthropic-operated providers) Fixed feedback surveys appearing back-to-back after dismissing one Fixed bare URLs in bash/PowerShell/MCP tool output being unclickable when the terminal wraps them across lines Windows: CLAUDE_ENV_FILE and SessionStart hook environment files now apply (previously a no-op) Windows: permission rules with drive-letter paths are now correctly root-anchored, and paths differing only by drive-letter case are recognized as the same path

Added /tui command and tui setting — run /tui fullscreen to switch to flicker-free rendering in the same conversation Added push notification tool — Claude can send mobile push notifications when Remote Control and "Push when Claude decides" config are enabled Changed Ctrl+O to toggle between normal and verbose transcript only; focus view is now toggled separately with the new /focus command Added autoScrollEnabled config to disable conversation auto-scroll in fullscreen mode Added option to show Claude's last response as commented context in the Ctrl+G external editor (enable via /config) Improved /plugin Installed tab — items needing attention and favorites appear at the top, disabled items are hidden behind a fold, and f favorites the selected item Improved /doctor to warn when an MCP server is defined in multiple config scopes with different endpoints --resume/--continue now resurrects unexpired scheduled tasks /context, /exit, and /reload-plugins now work from Remote Control (mobile/web) clients Write tool now informs the model when you edit the proposed content in the IDE diff before accepting Bash tool now enforces the documented maximum timeout instead of accepting arbitrarily large values SDK/headless sessions now read TRACEPARENT/TRACESTATE from the environment for distributed trace linking Session recap is now enabled for users with telemetry disabled (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry, DISABLE_TELEMETRY). Opt out via /config or CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AWAY_SUMMARY=0. Fixed MCP tool calls hanging indefinitely when the server connection drops mid-response on SSE/HTTP transports Fixed non-streaming fallback retries causing multi-minute hangs when the API is unreachable Fixed session recap, local slash-command output, and other system status lines not appearing in focus mode Fixed high CPU usage in fullscreen when text is selected while a tool is running Fixed plugin install not honoring dependencies declared in plugin.json when the marketplace entry omits them; /plugin install now lists auto-installed dependencies Fixed skills with disable-model-invocation: true failing when invoked via / mid-message Fixed --resume sometimes showing the first prompt instead of the /rename name for sessions still running or exited uncleanly Fixed queued messages briefly appearing twice during multi-tool-call turns Fixed session cleanup not removing the full session directory including subagent transcripts Fixed dropped keystrokes after the CLI relaunches (e.g. /tui, provider setup wizards) Fixed garbled startup rendering in macOS Terminal.app and other terminals that don't support synchronized output Hardened "Open in editor" actions against command injection from untrusted filenames Fixed PermissionRequest hooks returning updatedInput not being re-checked against permissions.deny rules; setMode:'bypassPermissions' updates now respect disableBypassPermissionsMode Fixed PreToolUse hook additionalContext being dropped when the tool call fails Fixed stdio MCP servers that print stray non-JSON lines to stdout being disconnected on the first stray line (regression in 2.1.105) Fixed headless/SDK session auto-title firing an extra Haiku request when CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC or CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_TERMINAL_TITLE is set Fixed potential excessive memory allocation when piped (non-TTY) Ink output contains a single very wide line Fixed /skills menu not scrolling when the list overflows the modal in fullscreen mode Fixed Remote Control sessions showing a generic error instead of prompting for re-login when the session is too old Fixed Remote Control session renames from claude.ai not persisting the title to the local CLI session

2.1.101

Added /team-onboarding command to generate a teammate ramp-up guide from your local Claude Code usage Added OS CA certificate store trust by default, so enterprise TLS proxies work without extra setup (set CLAUDE_CODE_CERT_STORE=bundled to use only bundled CAs) /ultraplan and other remote-session features now auto-create a default cloud environment instead of requiring web setup first Improved brief mode to retry once when Claude responds with plain text instead of a structured message Improved focus mode: Claude now writes more self-contained summaries since it knows you only see its final message Improved tool-not-available errors to explain why and how to proceed when the model calls a tool that exists but isn't available in the current context Improved rate-limit retry messages to show which limit was hit and when it resets instead of an opaque seconds countdown Improved refusal error messages to include the API-provided explanation when available Improved claude -p --resume to accept session titles set via /rename or --name Improved settings resilience: an unrecognized hook event name in settings.json no longer causes the entire file to be ignored Improved plugin hooks from plugins force-enabled by managed settings to run when allowManagedHooksOnly is set Improved /plugin and claude plugin update to show a warning when the marketplace could not be refreshed, instead of silently reporting a stale version Improved plan mode to hide the "Refine with Ultraplan" option when the user's org or auth setup can't reach Claude Code on the web Improved beta tracing to honor OTEL_LOG_USER_PROMPTS, OTEL_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS, and OTEL_LOG_TOOL_CONTENT;

footer indicators (Focus, notifications) to stay on the mode-indicator row instead of wrapping at narrow terminal widths Improved /agents with a tabbed layout: a Running tab shows live subagents, and the Library tab adds Run agent and View running instance actions Improved /reload-plugins to pick up plugin-provided skills without requiring a restart Improved Accept Edits mode to auto-approve filesystem commands prefixed with safe env vars or process wrappers Improved Vim mode: j/k in NORMAL mode now navigate history and select the footer pill at the input boundary Improved hook errors in the transcript to include the first line of stderr for self-diagnosis without --debug Improved OTEL tracing: interaction spans now correctly wrap full turns under concurrent SDK calls, and headless
