11* A new **Trouble updating?** link opens [Update Claude Science](/docs/claude-science/update-claude-science), a help page with other ways to update. It shows in **Settings > General > About**, in the **Update required** box, and on the "Update available" notice while an update downloads or after one fails

15* A new **Trouble updating?** link opens [Update Claude Science](/docs/claude-science/update-claude-science.md), a help page with other ways to update. It shows in **Settings > General > About**, in the **Update required** box, and on the "Update available" notice while an update downloads or after one fails
1216* Cloud storage in Settings now works with Google Cloud Storage HMAC keys on computers where no AWS region is set
1317* Mac: if `config.toml` has `auto_update = false` under `[update]`, Claude Science in its own window no longer checks for updates in the background. You can still check with **Claude Science > Check for App Updates…** in the menu bar
1418* Linux: fixed updates from 0.1.66 or earlier failing with "restart aborted" when Claude Science was started by typing only `claude-science`

2026* **Export session** files now list the approval decisions made in the session from this version on: whether each action was approved, how it was settled, and when
2127* From this version on, when an update is required while sessions are running, you can stop them and update in one step, and resume them afterwards
2228* Mac and Linux: the starter Python and R environments, and the environments Claude Science sets up for connectors and compute providers, now keep their own downloaded packages. The first conda install into them after you update downloads packages again, so it needs a network connection and takes longer, and Claude Science can use about 3 GB more disk space

4355* Tabs in the right pane are now all one width, and the tab you're viewing always shows its close button
4456* Newly saved artifacts now list more of their input files in Provenance when the code that created them read many files
4557* Linux: Claude Science now detects an NVIDIA GPU only if `nvidia-smi` can run without your `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` and is in `/usr/bin` or one of a few other fixed folders (`/usr/local/bin` isn't one). Otherwise the app finds no GPU, and the **Host GPU** switch in **Settings > Compute** is hidden unless it's already on

5165* Linux: if Claude Science won't start after updating to 0.1.61, run `claude-science update` in a terminal to get 0.1.62 or later, then start it again. If it's still running and the "Update available" notice shows "restart aborted", select "Check for updates" in **Settings > General > About** so it finds the newer version, then "Restart to update"
5266* Linux: Claude Science starts again when bubblewrap or socat comes from conda, Homebrew, or a folder in your home directory. 0.1.61's requirement that both be installed for the whole system is withdrawn for now, though installing them that way is still recommended
5367* Fixed the app sometimes becoming unresponsive after Claude saves results from an analysis that read large files

5874* Sessions you start in the Example project now show on the home screen
5975* A GitHub token you paste in **Settings > Credentials** now stays after a restart, instead of switching back to the token found on your computer; if yours switched back, paste it again
6076* Linux: fixed Featured connectors that run on your computer sometimes failing to start right after your first sign-in
6177* Linux: Claude Science now needs bubblewrap and socat installed for the whole system, from your distribution's packages or by an administrator. If yours came from conda, Homebrew, or a folder in your home directory, the app refuses to start and its message says what to do
62* Windows: Claude Science is now signed with a renewed certificate from the same publisher, Anthropic, PBC. If your IT team allows the app by certificate thumbprint, add the new SHA-1 thumbprint `60C2D9C51F09822FFF4F194DE9EEDB67451292D1` and keep the previous one, both listed under [Windows signing certificate](/docs/claude-science/manage-on-devices#windows-signing-certificate)

7393* Saved approvals for tools from your organization's plugins are cleared, so Claude asks again; new approvals apply only to the plugin that added the tool
7494* Skills from plugins your organization's admin uploads now appear under Organization in **Settings > Skills**, instead of under Featured
7595* Comment boxes on figures, PDFs, reports, and files now grow as you type, and a new comment that fails to save keeps your text and shows an error

134166* Pinned sessions (formerly starred) from across all your projects now appear at the top of the session list; a new switch in **Settings > General > Appearance** lets you limit them to the open project
135167* In Markdown files, click a plain-text cell in a table to edit it in place
136168* Tables in Markdown files keep their scroll position when Claude saves another file

148182* Tables in Markdown files now show as a compact grid; a long table keeps its header row in view, and row labels stay in view when you scroll sideways
149183* Tabs in the right pane can be reordered by dragging, or with Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Left/Right
150184* Pasted images are now saved to your uploads, so Claude can keep working with them later in the conversation

281337* Corporate networks: environment builds now work behind TLS-inspecting proxies (such as Zscaler or Netskope). On macOS, corporate root CAs in your keychain are picked up automatically for conda/pip package downloads; on macOS or Linux you can also point at a CA-bundle file under Settings > Network > Package mirror. The mirror card's Check button now verifies TLS trust with the same bundle the builds use. (In-session `pip`/`curl` and the Desktop app's guest-VM builds are not covered)
282338* Package mirrors: point conda and pip at your organization's internal mirror (Artifactory/Nexus) via Settings > Network > Package mirror. Setting a mirror also drops the public package hosts from the sandbox network allowlist
283339* OpenAlex now requires a free API key for full-text access. Claude Science resolves access automatically or asks you in the session when a key is needed; you can also add and validate a key anytime under Settings > Credentials
