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 v2.1.72

Migration: Remote Control flags — If you use --spawn-worktree-sessions or --spawn-same-dir-sessions, these have been replaced by --spawn=worktree and --spawn=same-dir respectively. The old flags will produce an error directing you to the new syntax.

Migration: Hooks format — The hooks matcher format has changed from an object {"tools": ["BashTool"]} to a string "Bash" or pipe-separated list "Edit|Write". Existing configurations should still work but the error tip now reflects the new format.

Bundle size reduction — The RxJS library (Observable, Subscriber, Subscription, and many related classes) has been removed from the bundle, reducing the overall package size. The tree-sitter WASM files and several other large dependencies (lodash templating, spawn-rx internals) have also been cleaned up.
