🚀 Anthropic Official
Claude Code v2.1.141
Adds terminalSequence to hook JSON output so hooks can emit desktop notifications, window titles, and bells without a controlling terminal; introduces ANTHROPIC_WORKSPACE_ID for workload identity federation (scopes minted tokens to a specific workspace); adds CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_PREFER_HTTPS for environments without a GitHub SSH key; ships claude agents --cwd <path> to filter the session list to a directory; adds Rewind "Summarize up to here" to compress earlier context while preserving recent turns; restores "view diff in your IDE" on file-edit permission prompts when an IDE is connected; fixes background agents launched via /bg/←← reverting to default permission mode; and improves the spinner to warm amber after 10 seconds of thinking.
Claude for Small Business
Launches a package of 15 ready-to-run agentic workflows connecting Claude to QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, DocuSign, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365 — covering payroll planning, cash-flow forecasting, invoice chasing, contract review, lead triage, and marketing execution — with user-approval gates before any action executes and no data training on Team and Enterprise plans.
Claude for the Legal Industry
Ships 20+ MCP connectors to legal software (Ironclad, DocuSign, iManage, Relativity, Harvey, Thomson Reuters CoCounsel, Everlaw, Midpage, Trellis, and more) and 12 practice-area plugins (commercial, M&A, employment, privacy, IP, litigation, AI governance, legal clinic) that run a setup interview to tailor themselves to a practice; adds a cross-app Microsoft 365 agent for Word, Outlook, Excel, and PowerPoint with context carried across all four apps.
anthropic-sdk-python v0.102.0
Adds BetaManagedAgentsSearchResultBlock types for the Managed Agents search result block, support for the new cache diagnostics beta, and eager validation for pydantic iterators.
anthropic-sdk-typescript v0.96.0
Adds BetaManagedAgentsSearchResultBlock types, cache diagnostics beta support, and enforces zod v4-only types to fix a type compatibility regression introduced in earlier zod imports.
anthropic-sdk-go v1.43.0
Adds BetaManagedAgentsSearchResultBlock types, cache diagnostics beta, compatibility aliases for old type names, an optimized JSON encoder for internal types, and fixes enum/const/pattern/allOf allowlisting in the structured-output schema transformer.
claude-agent-sdk-typescript v0.2.141
Exports Task CRUD I/O types (TaskCreateInput, TaskCreateOutput, TaskGetInput, TaskGetOutput, TaskUpdateInput, TaskUpdateOutput, TaskListInput, TaskListOutput) from @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk/sdk-tools and adds them to the ToolInputSchemas/ToolOutputSchemas unions, enabling fully typed SDK tooling for task management endpoints.
