Anthropic’s official release notes

Published verbatim by Anthropic for v2.0.70. Text is unmodified from the upstream changelog. Everything else on this page came out of the bundle instead, which is why the two lists don't match.

  • Added Enter key to accept and submit prompt suggestions immediately (tab still accepts for editing)
  • Added wildcard syntax mcp__server__* for MCP tool permissions to allow or deny all tools from a server
  • Added auto-update toggle for plugin marketplaces, allowing per-marketplace control over automatic updates
  • Added current_usage field to status line input, enabling accurate context window percentage calculations
  • Fixed input being cleared when processing queued commands while the user was typing
  • Fixed prompt suggestions replacing typed input when pressing Tab
  • Fixed diff view not updating when terminal is resized
  • Improved memory usage by 3x for large conversations
  • Improved resolution of stats screenshots copied to clipboard (Ctrl+S) for crisper images
  • Removed # shortcut for quick memory entry (tell Claude to edit your CLAUDE.md instead)
  • Fix thinking mode toggle in /config not persisting correctly
  • Improve UI for file creation permission dialog
