#1 GOLDReleaseClaude Code Releases (GitHub)
v2.1.91
- MCP tool results can now be up to 500K characters (up from ~50K) by setting `_meta["anthropic/maxResultSizeChars"]` on the tool annotation — no more silent truncation of large DB schemas or file dumps
- Plugins can now ship executables under `bin/` and invoke them as bare commands from the Bash tool, making plugin-packaged CLIs a first-class citizen
- Multi-line prompts in `claude-cli://open?q=` deep links now work — encoded newlines (`%0A`) are no longer rejected
- A bug where `--resume` could silently lose conversation history when async transcript writes fail is fixed
- Plan mode no longer loses track of the plan file after a container restart in remote sessions, which was causing spurious permission prompts and empty plan-approval modals
- The Edit tool now uses shorter `old_string` anchors, reducing output token count on every file edit
#2 SILVERReleaseGitHub anthropics/claude-code-action
Claude Code GitHub Action v1.0 — Now Generally Available
- The Claude Code GitHub Action hits v1.0 GA — the action that lets you trigger Claude Code on PRs, issues, and CI events with `@claude` mentions or automation rules
- Configuration is drastically simplified: `mode`, `direct_prompt`, `override_prompt`, and `custom_instructions` are all replaced by a single `prompt` input and a `claude_args` passthrough for CLI flags
- Now supports AWS Bedrock and Google Vertex AI natively, so teams with cloud-provider constraints can use it without routing through the Anthropic API
- Breaking changes from v0.x — check the migration guide before upgrading
#3 BRONZEAnnouncementReddit r/ClaudeAI (ClaudeOfficial)
Follow-up on usage limits
- Anthropic's official account explains what's been driving faster usage burn: peak-hour limits tightened and 1M-context sessions got larger, not a billing bug
- Key tips: use Sonnet 4.6 instead of Opus on Pro (Opus burns ~2× as fast), turn off extended thinking when you don't need it, start fresh sessions rather than resuming idle ones, and set `CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW=200000` to cap context growth
