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.

Startup banner summarising what changed since you last read the release notes

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal2
Startup

After an update a startup banner counts what's new in the release notes until you read them.

What

After an update, a one-line banner at startup counts the new release-note entries by kind (feature, bug fix, bug-fix rollup, other) and links out for details. It does not appear once you have seen the notes, and it is suppressed in demo builds.

Details
  • Each note is classified by matching a regex against the entry's opening verb, so the counts follow how the notes are phrased.
  • Shown only when the recorded "last release notes seen" marker is older than the current notes.
  • Displaying it records a counted impression under startup_update_summary.
  • New in this build.
Evidence

Updated to latest.

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