New Features #
Environment Variable Management
- Enhanced environment variable handling: Environment variables are now loaded from multiple sources in a hierarchical manner. The new system merges environment variables from:
- Local settings (
localSettings) - Project settings (
projectSettings) - Managed settings (
managedSettings)
This allows for more flexible configuration management across different scopes.
Model Support
- Added support for Claude 3.5 Sonnet v2 (October 2022 release):
- First-party API:

anthropic.claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022-v2:0 - Google Vertex:

The new model includes updated pricing:
- Input tokens: $3 per million
- Output tokens: $15 per million
- Prompt cache write: $3.75 per million
- Prompt cache read: $0.30 per million
Cost Tracking
- Improved unknown model cost handling: When using models without known pricing information, the system now properly flags this with
hasUnknownModelCost = trueto alert users that cost calculations may be incomplete.
