What
Claude Code now reports its version as 2.1.322 instead of 2.1.321. The new number appears everywhere the version is shown:
--versionoutput- Messages from
claude update - The "Recent releases (you are running v...)" line
- The version check in the built-in doctor
- Installer and auto-updater logs
The build time and the build identifier changed along with it.
Why
This is only a new release stamp. Nothing about how Claude Code works changed with it.
