● According to Ian Nuttall, Anthropic just dropped Claude Code v2.0.28, and it's packed with features that make coding workflows smarter and more flexible.
● The standout addition? Dynamic subagents. The new Plan subagent can now map out and execute multi-step coding tasks on its own. Even better, subagents can pick their own models based on what the task needs, and they'll resume work after interruptions — no more losing progress mid-session.
● Git users get some love too with new branch and tag fragment syntax that makes version control smoother. And if you're watching costs, there's a new --max-budget-usd flag in the SDK that lets you cap API spending upfront.
● The update also squashes some annoying bugs: that macOS permission prompt on first launch is gone, and VS Code users won't see random backslashes in the terminal when hitting Shift+Enter anymore.
● The release shows where Anthropic is headed — building a coding assistant that's autonomous enough to handle complex tasks but still gives developers control over resources and costs. It's a solid step forward for teams looking to automate without losing oversight.
