Dec 15, 2025

Claude's Analysisby Sonnet 4.6

MCP wildcard syntax (mcp__server__*) slashes permission config; 3x memory improvement for large chats. Breaking: the # quick-memory shortcut is gone — use CLAUDE.md directly.

Ecosystem Impact

Windows appeared in 4 of the last 10 releases but is absent here; VS Code likewise at 4 of 10 with no entry. MCP maintains a 3-of-10 presence, earning a notable capability upgrade (wildcard syntax) in this release despite General absorbing 9 of the 12 changes.
