Release notes

Claude Code 2.1.179

· 8 fixed

This release significantly enhances stability and user experience through a series of important fixes and performance improvements. Mid-stream connection drops now preserve partial responses, preventing data loss, and remote sessions benefit from improved plugin loading speed. Key workflow issues have been resolved, including mouse-wheel scrolling in WSL2, subagent transcript viewing, and prompt input focus. Additionally, fixes address critical sandbox performance on Linux and background task status in remote sessions, benefiting a wide range of users.

Improved1

  • Improved plugin loading performance in remote sessions

Fixed8

  • Fixed mid-stream connection drops: partial responses are now preserved instead of showing a raw error, and the spinner no longer gets stuck at "running tool"
  • Fixed mouse-wheel scrolling in WSL2 under Windows Terminal and VS Code (regression in 2.1.172)
  • Fixed a sandbox `denyRead`/`allowRead` glob over a large directory tree making the Bash tool description enormous and the session unusable on Linux
  • Fixed the feedback survey capturing a single-digit reply as a session rating immediately after a turn completes
  • Fixed the welcome screen stacking multiple promotional banners — at most one promo now shows per session
  • Fixed Ctrl+O not showing the subagent's transcript when viewing a subagent
  • Fixed clicking the prompt input not returning focus from the subagent/footer panel
  • Fixed remote session background tasks appearing stuck as "still running" between turns
