DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

What

The embedded version, build time and commit id moved to the 2.1.240 build. These drive claude --version, update checks, Remote Control minimum-version messages, user-agent headers and analytics fields. No behaviour change beyond the new values.

Evidence

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
