Anthropic's Claude Code v2.1.245 fixes a startup crash on Linux distributions using glibc 2.44 and adds several new features for usage tracking, model management, and authentication.
READY TO POST:
claude code v2.1.245 dropped with a critical fix for linux users running glibc 2.44 distros like arch. good to see those startup crashes squashed!
big claude code update! beyond the linux crash fix, they've added detailed loop breakdowns, custom model pickers, better prompt caching, and simplified enterprise sign-in. lots for power users to dig into.

# Changelog
+## 2.1.245
+- Fixed a crash on startup on Linux distributions that ship glibc 2.44 (for example Arch Linux, CachyOS and Fedora Rawhide)
+## 2.1.243
+- Added a Loops breakdown to `/usage`: per-loop run count, total tokens, tokens per run, and last run, so runaway or chatty `/loop` tasks are easy to spot
+- Added `modelPicker` setting: curate the `/model` picker with an ordered, labeled list of models (any id spelling, including Vertex/Bedrock ids), appended to or replacing the built-in lineup
+- Added `promptCacheTtl` and `subagentPromptCacheTtl` settings so API-key and cloud-provider users can keep a 1-hour prompt cache on the main conversation while subagents stay at 5 minutes
+- Added `modelPricing` managed setting so an organization's contracted per-model rates and discount multiplier are used for `/cost`, the status line, and telemetry cost figures instead of list price
+- Added a keyless sign-in under `/login` → Anthropic Console: "Sign in with your Console account" (recommended) alongside creating an API key, so organizations that don't allow API keys can sign in
+- Added a `Skipped sources` line to `/status` that lists managed settings sources (for example `managed-settings.json`) present but not applied because a higher-precedence managed source is active
+- Added a `managed` marker in
