More Claude Code releases
Every Claude Code releaseClaude Code 2.1.299
- Added CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_FILE_MENTIONS environment variable: Claude gets the paths of @ file mentions to read with its file tools, not the files' contents Added idle compaction in the terminal: a 200K+ token conversation left idle for about 54 minutes is compacted before its one-hour prompt cache expires, so your next message doesn't reprocess it all...
Claude Code 2.1.300

- Added a code key to the Claude apps gateway's managed.policies[]: the same settings as cli, also applied in Claude Desktop's Code tab; beside desktop, it turns on Claude Desktop's gateway mode Added autoCompactWindow to subagent frontmatter and --agents definitions, so a subagent can auto-compact earlier than the main conversation's window Added...
Claude Code 2.1.294
- Fixed prompt and agent hooks written as instructions (such as "Block commands that...") allowing what they should block Improved how prompt hooks on Stop and SubagentStop written as instructions (such as "Carry on if the build is broken") are judged, so Claude is less likely to stop early
