Zed editor version 0.185.9 has been released, featuring the Agent Panel for AI-enhanced editing, preliminary support for resolving merge conflicts, an importer for VS Code settings, and enhancements to diagnostics reporting. The release features enhancements in Rust diagnostics, the addition of tab_switcher::ToggleAll, and support for SOCKS4A proxies. Additionally, it enhances the default Helix keybindings, optimizes the sort order for code completion, and facilitates F10 for toggling menus.

Git has introduced preliminary support for addressing merge conflicts, featuring a git_panel.sort_by_path setting that allows for the integration of untracked and tracked files within the diff list. The Git blame links now prioritize the upstream remote over origin when available. The default value of expand_excerpt_lines has been raised from 3 to 5, enhancing the speed at which additional context is visible in the git diff view.

Python has enhanced its built-in type highlighting, and Vim has introduced AnyQuotes, AnyBrackets, MiniQuotes, and MiniBrackets text objects. The register replacement has been remapped from gr to gR. The introduction of agentic editing through the Agent Panel and enhancements in content type matching for /fetch commands in text threads represent significant advancements in AI technology.

Recent updates address several issues, including the resolution of a bug that prevented conflicted paths from being displayed in their designated section within the git panel. Additionally, it rectifies a situation where extension pages would scroll to the top during installation, improves paragraph spacing in Git commit messages, and resolves multiple memory leaks associated with images.

Zed 0.185.9

Today's release introduces the  Agent Panel for AI-powered editing, initial support for resolving merge conflicts, a VS Code settings importer, and improvements to diagnostics reporting.

Enhancements

• Added a VSCode settings importer, available via a zed::ImportVsCodeSettings action. ( #29018)
• Diagnostics: Rust diagnostics now show code snippets in monospace font. ( #29629)
• Diagnostics: Improved diagnostics by no longer merging when they're on the same line. ( #29629)
• Diagnostics: Show the diagnostic code if available. ( #29296)
• Added tab_switcher::ToggleAll to search open tabs from all panes and focus the selected one. ( #28047)
• Allowed creating entries when nothing is selected in the project panel. ( #29336)
• Added support for socks4a proxies. ( #27773; thanks  MrSubidubi)
• Improved default Helix keybindings. ( #29518; thanks  jneem)
• Improved code completion sort order, handling more cases with Rust and Python. ( #29990)
