v2.0.14+claude1.8555.2

Wrapper-only update. Attempted to fix taskbar grouping by aligning WM_CLASS across all formats. Upstream Claude Desktop unchanged from v2.0.13.

Note: This release's WM_CLASS fix was incomplete. Electron silently ignores the --class flag, so the gear-icon/orphan-window bug persisted. Update to v2.0.15 for the actual fix.

Fixed

  • WM_CLASS / StartupWMClass aligned to claude-desktop across deb, RPM, AppImage, and autostart .desktop files. This was meant to fix taskbar grouping on GNOME and KDE. It didn't fully work because Electron derives WM_CLASS from its own productName field and ignores --class entirely. v2.0.15 corrects this by matching what Electron actually advertises. (#648, fixes #647)

Internal

  • AppImage smoke test replaced the flat 10s sleep with a readiness-marker poll (30s ceiling, 0.5s tick) and unified the cleanup trap to prevent squashfs-root leaks on interrupt. CI-only change, no user-facing impact. (#646)
