Fixed

  • Closing the window no longer kills the app on Linux. The X button hides to tray now, matching Windows and macOS. Quit explicitly with Ctrl+Q, the tray menu, or your DE's quit shortcut. Set CLAUDE_QUIT_ON_CLOSE=1 to restore the old behavior. Fixes scheduled tasks and /schedule firings getting silently dropped overnight. Thanks @lizthegrey. (#451)
  • "Run on startup" toggle persists on Linux now. The in-app toggle was a silent no-op because Electron's setLoginItemSettings isn't implemented on Linux. The wrapper backs it with ~/.config/autostart/claude-desktop.desktop per the XDG Autostart spec. Thanks @lizthegrey. (#450, fixes #128)
  • Tray icon updates in place on OS theme change. Previously it briefly duplicated on KDE Plasma. Now uses setImage + setContextMenu instead of destroy + recreate. Thanks @IliyaBrook. (#515)
  • Window visibility check works again after an upstream minified-name change broke it. Thanks @Andrej730. (#496, fixes #495)

Added

  • Cowork bwrap mounts accept a {src, dst} form. You can map a host directory under $HOME onto a different path inside the sandbox. This unlocks the persistent-/tmp use case so Bash tool calls don't wipe state between invocations. The string form is unchanged. Thanks @cbonnissent. (#531)
  • --doctor warns when COWORK_VM_BACKEND is set to an unknown value instead of silently falling through to auto-detect. Adds a COWORK_VM_BACKEND row and a new Cowork Backend section to docs/CONFIGURATION.md. Thanks @CyPack. (#324)
  • --doctor warns when an additional bwrap mount destination shadows a default sandbox path like /usr, /etc, /bin, /sbin, or /lib. (#531)
  • Troubleshooting entries for Cowork VM connection timeout, virtiofsd outside $PATH on Fedora/RHEL (/usr/libexec/virtiofsd), and Fedora tmpfs EXDEV errors. (#324)

Distribution

  • APT/DNF install instructions point at pkg.claude-desktop-debian.dev directly, bypassing the GitHub Pages 301. Pages serves the redirect over http:// because it can't provision a cert for the pkg. subdomain (DNS belongs to the Cloudflare Worker), and apt refuses HTTPS→HTTP downgrades. DNF was unaffected. (#510, #514)
