If you look at the changelog[0] for 2.0, it doesn't mention any memory features. I also find it strange that they released this as 2.0 without any new actual Claude Code features other than /rewind, which I'm not sure what is for, since we already have version control.

So, when Anthropic had that huge release day, with Sonnet 4.5, Code 2.0, etc, this was one of the things they published: https://www.anthropic.com/news/context-management

> The memory tool enables Claude to store and consult information outside the context window through a file-based system. Claude can create, read, update, and delete files in a dedicated memory directory stored in your infrastructure that persists across conversations. This allows agents to build up knowledge bases over time, maintain project state across sessions, and reference previous learnings without having to keep everything in context.

This is what made me think that it came out with the 2.0.0 release. But apparently /memory landed in 1.0.94. Frustrating!
