Claude Code 2.1.240 and 2.1.241: Two Straight 'Bug Fixes Only' Releases
Claude Code 2.1.240 and 2.1.241 are two consecutive maintenance releases listing only bug fixes and reliability improvements, with no new features documented.
What it is
Two back-to-back point releases of Claude Code, 2.1.240 and 2.1.241, following the more substantial 2.1.239 release that shipped the data-residency cost premium and the SDK upgrade command.
What it does
Each release note reads only "bug fixes and reliability improvements," with no new settings, flags, or behavior changes listed, continuing the pattern this changelog format has shown before with 2.1.220.
Why it matters
If you're pinning a Claude Code version for CI or a team rollout, these two releases are safe, low-risk bumps, though the vague changelog gives you nothing specific to test for regressions before upgrading.
