## Changes

### IDE Integration Enhancement

- **Enhanced IDE selection awareness**: Claude Code now detects and displays when text is selected in your IDE (when connected via MCP)
- Shows the number of lines selected in the status bar (e.g., "5 lines selected")
- Automatically clears the indicator when selection is removed
- Supports selection notifications from IDE extensions that implement the `selection_changed` MCP notification

### Improved Changelog Management

- **Dynamic changelog fetching**: Claude Code now fetches the latest changelog from GitHub
- Automatically caches changelog updates for better performance
- Fetches from: `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anthropics/claude-code/refs/heads/main/CHANGELOG.md`
- Shows relevant release notes on startup when updates are available

### Model Configuration Updates

- **New Sonnet model**: Added support for `claude-3-7-sonnet-20250219`
- **Improved model selection**: Better handling of environment-specific model configurations
- Automatically selects appropriate model variant based on your provider (Bedrock, Vertex, or First-party)
- Respects `ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL` environment variable for custom model selection

### User Interface

- **Queue command hint tracking**: Added `queuedCommandUpHintCount` to user preferences for better hint management
- **Enhanced streaming status**: Claude now shows more specific status indicators during response streaming:
- "responding" for regular text responses
- "tool-use" when executing tools
- "thinking" when in thinking mode

### Performance
