What's new in the CLI (past 7 days)
Releases v1.0.12–v1.0.14 shipped March 26–31, 2026. Two changes are beginner-relevant and were missing from the course:
1.
.claude/settings.jsonand.claude/settings.local.json(v1.0.12)Copilot CLI now reads these files from the project's
.claude/folder as additional repo config sources. These are behavior settings (how the tool acts) as opposed to instruction files (what it knows). The project-level file is committed and shared; the local file is personal and not committed.2. Model picker full-screen view with inline reasoning effort (v1.0.12)
The
/modelcommand now opens a full-screen picker. Inside it, you can adjust reasoning effort with the ← / → arrow keys. The active effort level is shown in the session header (e.g.,claude-sonnet-4.5 (high)).What was already covered (no changes needed)
