| Version | Published | Note |
|---|---|---|
| v2.1.220 | July 25, 2026 | Bug fixes and reliability improvements |
| v2.1.219 | July 24, 2026 | Added Claude Opus 5 (`claude-opus-5`), now the default Opus model — 1M context, fast mode at $10/$50 per Mtok |
| v2.1.218 | July 22, 2026 | Changed `/code-review` to run as a background subagent, so review work no longer fills your conversation and keeps stacked slash commands as its review target |
| v2.1.217 | July 21, 2026 | Added emoji shortcode autocomplete in the prompt input: type `:heart:` to insert ❤️, or `:hea` for suggestions — disable with the `emojiCompletionEnabled` setting |
| v2.1.216 | July 20, 2026 | Added `sandbox.filesystem.disabled` setting to skip filesystem isolation while keeping network egress control |
| v2.1.215 | July 19, 2026 | Claude no longer runs the `/verify` and `/code-review` skills on its own; invoke them with `/verify` or `/code-review` when you want them |
| v2.1.214 | July 18, 2026 | Fixed single-segment `dir/**` allow rules like `Edit(src/**)` auto-approving writes to nested `dir/` directories anywhere in the tree instead of only `<cwd>/dir` |
| v2.1.212 | July 17, 2026 | `/fork` now copies your conversation into a new background session (its own row in `claude agents`) while you keep working; the in-session subagent it used to launch is now `/subtask` |
| v2.1.211 | July 15, 2026 | Added `--forward-subagent-text` flag and `CLAUDE_CODE_FORWARD_SUBAGENT_TEXT` environment variable to include subagent text and thinking in stream-json output |
| v2.1.210 | July 14, 2026 | Added a live elapsed-time counter to the collapsed tool summary line so long-running tool calls visibly tick instead of looking stuck |
| v2.1.209 | July 14, 2026 | Fixed /model and other dialogs being blocked in `claude agents` background sessions (reverts an overly broad guard) |
| v2.1.208 | July 14, 2026 | Added screen reader mode: opt-in plain-text rendering for screen reader users. Run `claude --ax-screen-reader`, set CLAUDE_AX_SCREEN_READER=1, or add "axScreenReader": true to settings. |
| v2.1.207 | July 11, 2026 | Auto mode is now available without `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_AUTO_MODE` opt-in on Bedrock, Vertex AI, and Foundry; disable via `disableAutoMode` in settings |
| v2.1.206 | July 10, 2026 | Added directory path suggestions to `/cd`, matching `/add-dir` behavior |
| v2.1.205 | July 8, 2026 | Added an auto mode rule that blocks tampering with session transcript files |
