Claude Code updates from the official changelog
Updated on
This page follows the Claude Code changelog, Anthropic's release notes for Claude Code. The newest version heading when we checked was 2.1.314. Those entries are numbered by version, so this page does not give the release a calendar date.
Status: Not tested. We paraphrase official notes only and did not run a product test. Sources checked on 2026-10-30.
The Claude Code changelog is a list of versions, not a list of calendar days. On 2026-10-30 the newest heading in CHANGELOG.md was version 2.1.314. The rows below are Added items from that version only. Fixes in the same version are left out. This is not a calendar date for the release: say version 2.1.314, changelog entry checked 2026-10-30.
| Version | Item | What the changelog says |
|---|---|---|
| Version 2.1.314 (changelog entry checked 2026-10-30) | permissions.blockWritesOutsideWorkingDirectories | The changelog says Write, Edit and NotebookEdit refuse paths outside the working directories, in every permission mode. |
Optional groups on gateway upstreams | The changelog says Claude apps gateway upstreams can take an optional groups list, and only developers in those identity-provider groups are sent to that upstream, including on failover. | |
guardrail_trace | The changelog says guardrail_trace on Claude apps gateway Bedrock upstreams logs which Amazon Bedrock guardrail filter fired on a request, without the matched text. | |
| Idle compaction | The changelog says idle compaction in VS Code and the Claude Desktop Code tab summarizes a conversation of 200K tokens or more that was left idle, and uses that summary on your next message if the prompt cache has expired. |
Older versions are still in the changelog. This hub starts at the newest heading we checked and will add a row when a later notable change ships.
FAQ
Where is the official Claude Code changelog?
Anthropic publishes Claude Code release notes, and the Claude Code repository on GitHub keeps CHANGELOG.md. Both are linked in Sources. This page paraphrases notable Added lines. It is not the changelog.
Is this a test log?
No. We did not run Claude Code 2.1.314. The status above is Not tested, and each row says what the changelog says.
How often is this page updated?
We check the official changelog on a daily maintenance pass and add a row when there is a notable change. Version headings are not always calendar-dated, so we do not invent a release day. The Updated date is when we changed this page.
