What
Two network-related changes:
Proxy connections: a proxy is a server that passes your network traffic on for you. When Claude Code opens a connection through one, it now cleans up the proxy's address before using it instead of using it exactly as given. It also applies extra security options when the proxy itself uses HTTPS.
Sign-in refresh: when Claude Code renews your login token without a browser window, one path can now pass your credentials on to a second step, in some cases.
Why
The proxy change may fix connections through proxies whose addresses are written in unusual forms, such as IPv6 addresses.
