## What's New in v6.0.0
## What's New
**🚀 Major Session Management & Transcript Processing Improvements:**
**v6.4.9 - Context Configuration Settings:**
- 11 new settings for fine-grained control over context injection
- Configure token economics display, observation filtering by type/concept
- Control number of observations and which fields to display
- **Enhanced Session Initialization**: Accept userPrompt and promptNumber for better context tracking
- **Live UserPrompt Updates**: Multi-turn conversation support with real-time prompt tracking
- **Improved SessionManager**: Better context handling and observation processing
- **Comprehensive Transcript Processing**: New scripts and utilities for analyzing Claude Code transcripts
- **Rich Context Extraction**: Advanced parsing utilities for extracting meaningful context from sessions
- **Refactored Architecture**: Improved hooks and SDKAgent for more reliable observation handling
- **Silent Debug Logging**: Better debugging capabilities without cluttering output
- **Enhanced Error Handling**: More robust error recovery and debugging tools
**v6.4.0 - Dual-Tag Privacy System:**
- `<private>` tags for user-controlled privacy - wrap sensitive content to exclude from storage
- System-level `<claude-mem-context>` tags prevent recursive observation storage
- Edge processing ensures private content never reaches database
**Breaking Changes**: Significant architectural changes in session management and observation handling. Existing sessions continue to work, but internal APIs have evolved.
**v6.3.0 - Version Channel:**
- Switch between stable and beta versions from the web viewer UI
- Try experimental features like Endless Mode without manual git operations
**Previous Highlights:**
- **v6.0.0**: Major session management & transcript processing improvements
- **v5.5.0**: mem-search skill enhancement with 100% effectiveness rate
- **v5.4.0**: Skill-based search architecture (~2,250 tokens saved per session)
- **v5.1.2**: Theme toggle for light/dark mode in viewer UI
- **v5.1.0**: Web-based viewer UI with real-time updates
- **v5.0.3**: Smart install caching (2-5s → 10ms)
- **v5.0.0**: Hybrid search with Chroma vector database
