Codex and Claude Code Changelogs

Searches for "Claude Code 3.0" are up, but no such version exists — the changelog tops out at 2.1.309, with recent real changes being Code Review levels, review stop, and ultrareview workspace trust.

A Claude Code hot update swaps the UI font to Apple's system font for a more native look, which users say resembles older Codex.

Codex fails to start because model_catalog_json in config.toml points to a missing file; deleting that line and model_provider = "magpie" is a temporary fix, with a root-cause fix and new release coming.

Day 9 of Tibo's 28 days: the ChatGPT and Codex desktop apps now take about 60% less disk space, with a recap of earlier feature updates.

OpenAI's Codex CLI is updated to 0.162.1, fixing a TUI crash on multi-line async questions, lost hyperlink destinations, and a startup issue from background server feature mismatches.

The new version adds an allow_large option to the Read tool so it can ingest a large text file in one call, and fixes redaction leaks in shared transcripts and debug logs.

The release makes failing or timing-out commands and HTTP hooks block execution, lets gateway upstreams limit the model list, and adds a stream startup timeout setting.

Codex CLI 0.162.0 adds managed Git worktrees for trusted local projects, task pinning in Command Center with p, and /copy for transcript blocks with clickable links.

Claude Code 2.1.292 adds automatic marketplace installation for plugins and an effort flag for spawned sub-agents to control cost, and fixes macOS/Windows notebook and PDF reads returning files outside the approved selection.

Claude Code 2.1.291 fixes two regressions: cloud sessions dropping answers to permission prompts, and quitting dropping a session's last messages.

Claude Code 2.1.290 brings 190 CLI changes, including a Deny button on the sign-in approval page, a retry for replies halted by content filters, and partial session name support.

The release preserves Windows environment variables for remote stdio MCP servers, so SYSTEMROOT, TEMP and TMP are no longer lost with a custom remote environment.
