The release notes for Claude Code v1.0.71 is as follows:
Version 1.0.71: • Background commands: (Ctrl-b) to run any Bash command in the background so Claude can keep working (great for dev servers, tailing logs, etc.) • Customizable status line: add your terminal prompt to Claude Code with /statusline
I couldn't understand what /statusline would do. I asked Claude Code and it provided this useful information.
The /statusline command customizes the status bar at the bottom of your Claude Code interface. It lets you display useful information like: - Current working directory - Git branch and status - Active model (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Opus, etc.) - Project context - Custom text or emojis - System info (time, date, etc.) Think of it like customizing your terminal prompt (PS1), but for Claude Code's interface. You can configure what information appears and how it's formatted. For example, a statusLine might show: 📁 /Users/XXXX/YYYY/Sample.API | 🌿 Test/sample-features | 🤖 Opus 4.1
It would be really helpful to have an abridged version of the information (in block quotes) as part of the release notes.
