DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.239

Home-directory and path shortening fixed on Windows

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal1
Windows

On Windows, ~ expansion and shortened paths with backslashes now behave correctly.

What

~ now expands only when it stands alone or is followed by the platform's own separator, and shortened paths that use backslashes are cut at a folder boundary instead of mid-name.

Details
  • Previously expansion keyed on ~/, which is not how a Windows path is written.
  • The shortening helper falls back to the last backslash when there is no forward slash in the path.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
