[MERGED across 2 sources: github_releases, pages] shared signal: claude-code --- github_releases :: anthropics/claude-code --- anthropics/claude-code release: v2.1.208 name: v2.1.208 published: 2026-07-14T01:10:42Z url: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases/tag/v2.1.208 ## What's changed - 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. - Added `vimInsertModeRemaps` setting: map two-key insert-mode sequences like `jj` to Escape in vim mode - Added `CLAUDE_CODE_PROCESS_WRAPPER`: agent view and the background service now honor a corporate launcher by running every Claude Code self-spawn through a required wrapper executable - Added mouse-click support for multi-select menus and "Other" input rows in fullscreen mode - Fixed fast mode staying off after switching back to a model that supports it — it now restores automatically when enabled in settings - Fixed replies typed to a background agent being lost when delivery fails — the text is now saved and delivered when the session restarts - Fixed background-session attach failing permanently ("Couldn't start the background daemon") after an update replaced the binary a running `claude agents` process was launched from - Fixed the context window (and auto-compact indicator) briefly resetting to 200k after the CLI auto-updates, causing a false "100% context used" when resuming long-context sessions - Fixed supervised and background sessions crashing when a server closed an HTTP/2 connection with a GOAWAY while requests were in flight - Fixed truncated stream-json/JSON output and missing result message when piping large responses from `claude -p` - Fixed `CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS` and similar env vars silently using the mantissa of scientific-notation values (`1e6` became `1`) - Fixed very large markdown tables stalling rendering or using excessive memory; tables over
