Claude Code v2.1.42 Release Notes
Claude Code v2.1.42 is now available with several important bug fixes and improvements that enhance the user experience for power users. This maintenance release focuses on resolving issues with session management, user-specific announcements, and error messaging.
What’s New
Fixed /resume Command Display Issue
The /resume command previously showed interrupt messages as session titles, which could be confusing when trying to identify and resume specific sessions. This has been resolved, and the command now properly displays meaningful session titles.
Corrected Opus 4.6 Announcement Targeting
Users on Bedrock, Vertex, and Foundry platforms were incorrectly seeing the Opus 4.6 launch announcement. This announcement is now properly targeted only to relevant users, reducing notification noise for platform-specific deployments.
Enhanced Image Processing Error Messages
When encountering dimension limit errors with multiple images, Claude Code now provides clearer error messages and suggests using the /compact command as a potential solution. This improvement helps users understand the issue and provides actionable next steps.
