Before, it relied only on the system's reported time zone.\n\n- Connections: one kind of network connection is now opened on its own instead of through a shared connection pool.\n\n- Downloads: a download that fails with a 401 error, which means not authorised, is now marked as the sign-in token being refused.\n\n- File backups: when Claude Code saves a backup copy of a file before changing it, the copy now keeps the original file's last-opened and last-modified dates.\n\n**Why**\n\nThese are small fixes. The backup change means a restored file carries its original dates rather than the time the backup was made.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
