Where can I find the changelog for Claude/Desktop on the web?
- Answer/Official from https://claude.com/docs/cowork/changelog
- Short answer: claude.com/docs/cowork/changelog — its own page title is literally "Release notes for Claude Desktop." Each entry is a real Desktop build number (e.g.
v1.21459.3, dated 2026-07-16) with changes grouped into General / Code / Cowork / 3P sections, so it's the one place that maps changes to actual Desktop app versions. - How this differs from the CLI changelog and “what's new” pages the user already found:
- code.claude.com/docs/en/changelog is the Claude Code CLI changelog — versioned against the CLI (e.g.
2.1.209), not the Desktop app build number. - code.claude.com/docs/en/whats-new is a weekly dev digest for Claude Code; each week is tagged with a CLI version range (e.g.
v2.1.202–v2.1.206). It calls out Desktop-related features in prose (e.g. "In-app browser on Desktop," "Claude Desktop on Linux") but doesn't map those to Desktop version numbers — Desktop bundles its own embedded Claude Code engine on a separate release cadence, confirmed by cowork-changelog entries like "Updated the embedded Claude Code engine to the latest version." - support.claude.com/en/articles/12138966-release-notes is a broader, less granular release-notes page spanning Claude web/mobile/Desktop/Cowork as one narrative feed, with no version numbers at all.
- Practical implication: to find which Desktop build shipped a given fix, check the cowork changelog's version/date entries directly rather than trying to back-derive it from the CLI changelog or the weekly digest.
