-## Claude Agent Integration
+## Important Changes
+
+### Enhanced Batch Command Processing
+
+The batch processor now properly handles flags in any position:
+
+```bash
+# Now correctly processes flags at the end of commands
+update 1 status done --silent
+```
+
+All Claude templates have been updated to place flags in their recommended positions.
+
+### Improved Migration Experience
 
-This version introduces optimized integration with Claude agents in Cursor IDE:
+The installation verification script now detects and reports missing files:
 
 ```bash
-# Use batch templates to reduce premium tool call costs
-task.batch examples/claude-templates/daily-update.txt
+# Check installation integrity
+./bin/tasktracker verify
+
+# Automatically fix common installation issues
+./bin/tasktracker verify --fix
 ```
 
-Available templates:
-- `daily-update.txt` - Update multiple task statuses efficiently
-- `task-create.txt` - Create multiple related tasks
-- `pr-prepare.txt` - Prepare a task for a pull request
+See the [Update Guide](docs/guides/UPDATING.md) for comprehensive information about installation requirements.
