DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.71

Removed in this version:

  • The tengu_quartz_falcon feature flag (and associated Gs() / Hb6() helpers) has been removed. This flag previously gated an unknown feature with a default label capability.
  • The Opus 4.6 welcome notice system (hasShownOpus46Notice) has been removed — the one-time notice about model availability no longer appears. The string "Welcome to Opus 4.6" and the per-model notice tip (opus-4.6-available) were also removed.
  • The native Rust color-diff.node module has been removed. Syntax-highlighted diffs now use a different rendering path.
  • The native ripgrep.node module has been removed, replaced by the embedded bfs/ugrep search tooling.
  • The Auto-approving in / Auto-selecting in / Press any key to intervene countdown UI text was removed, suggesting changes to how auto-approval timers work.
