Claude Code 2.1.75

  • Breaking change: Removed deprecated Windows managed settings fallback at `C:\ProgramData\ClaudeCode\managed-settings.json` — use `C:\Program Files\ClaudeCode\managed-settings.json`
  • Breaking change: Bedrock ARN passed to `ANTHROPIC_MODEL` or `ANTHROPIC_SMALL_FAST_MODEL` should no longer contain an escaped slash (specify `/` instead of `%2F`)
  • Breaking change: --print JSON output now returns nested message objects, for forwards-compatibility as we introduce new metadata fields
