Addedlast_assistant_message field to Stop and SubagentStop hook inputs, providing the final assistant response text so hooks can access it without parsing transcript files.
Addedchat:newline keybinding action for configurable multi-line input (anthropics/claude-code#26075)
Addedadded_dirs to the statusline JSON `workspace` section, exposing directories added via `/add-dir` to external scripts (anthropics/claude-code#26096)
~changed 6
Search patterns in collapsed tool results are now displayed in quotes for clarity
Use ctrl+f to kill all background agents instead of double-pressing ESC. Background agents now continue running when you press ESC to cancel the main thread, giving you more control over agent lifecycle.
Simplified teammate navigation to use only Shift+Down (with wrapping) instead of both Shift+Up and Shift+Down.
Increased initial session count in resume picker from 10 to 50 for faster session discovery (anthropics/claude-code#26123)
Moved config backup files from home directory root to `~/.claude/backups/` to reduce home directory clutter (anthropics/claude-code#26130)
The /rename command now updates the terminal tab title by default (anthropics/claude-code#25789)
↑improved 6
ImprovedVS Code plan preview: auto-updates as Claude iterates, enables commenting only when the plan is ready for review, and keeps the preview open when rejecting so Claude can revise.
Improved memory usage in long-running sessions by releasing API stream buffers, agent context, and skill state after use
Improved startup performance by deferring SessionStart hook execution, reducing time-to-interactive by ~500ms.
Improved performance of @ file mentions - file suggestions now appear faster by pre-warming the index on startup and using session-based caching with background refresh.
Improved memory usage by trimming agent task message history after tasks complete
Improved memory usage during long agent sessions by eliminating O(n²) message accumulation in progress updates
✓fixed 53
Fixed FileWriteTool line counting to preserve intentional trailing blank lines instead of stripping them with `trimEnd()`.
Fixed Windows terminal rendering bugs caused by `os.EOL` (`\r\n`) in display code — line counts now show correct values instead of always showing 1 on Windows.
