What probably matters to youSection of the release
Unclear It is not confirmed that the auto-update channel row actually shows on the settings screen, or what controls whether it does.
What
Auto-updates are how Claude Code installs newer versions of itself. The settings screen's handling of the auto-update channel has changed. It can set the channel to latest or stable, and when you choose stable it can also set minimumVersion, which keeps auto-updates from installing anything below a given version. Claude Code records when auto-updating is turned on and when the channel is changed.
The way rows in settings dialogs are edited has also been reworked.
Why
This means you could change which release channel you follow from inside Claude Code instead of editing a settings file.
