What
  • The version is 2.1.296.
  • The signed list of models Claude Code knows about moved from version 1840 to 1893, with new issue and expiry dates.
  • The script Claude Code uses to read and understand PowerShell commands now receives the command through standard input, the stream a program reads typed or piped input from, instead of having it passed in another way.
Why

Passing the command through standard input avoids limits on how long a command line can be, so long PowerShell commands are less likely to fail.
