What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
These are admin policy settings for Claude Desktop that ship as part of Claude Code. An admin policy is configuration an organization sets for everyone who uses the app. The changes:
disableLocalConfigCache is a new setting that keeps only the organization ID and its restrictions stored on the computer.
The list of allowed outbound hosts now says that any list other than * also limits where Claude may browse in the built-in browser.
Many settings are now marked as applying to the desktop app.
Configuration applied while the app is running now follows a rule that needs two checks in a row.
Why
Organizations that manage Claude Desktop can keep less of their configuration stored on each machine. The browsing note makes clear that limiting outbound hosts also limits the built-in browser.
