Zed v0.187.4 has been released, featuring several enhancements, such as a minimap for efficient navigation of editor contents, the capability to render images using data URLs in markdown, and additional settings to conceal buttons from the Zed UI. The release additionally features a new workspace: the close active dock action for closing the currently focused dock, the terminal::RerunTask task action, the OpenDocs action for accessing Zed's documentation in a browser, and the scrollbar.thumb.active_background color for themes.

Linux users can now utilize the terminal keybind without conflicts on Czech keyboards. The enhancements to the project panel, outline panel, and collab panel now allow for width persistence tailored to each workspace. Warnings have been displayed for unrecognized keys during editing, and enhancements have been made to snippet code completion.

AI models currently offer support for tool results in Gemini models and input images in OpenAI models. Agents now permit the copying of entire lines when there is no selection in text threads, enhance the clarity of the MCP server connection status in the Settings view, and resolve text rendering issues.

Recent updates fix a number of problems, such as issues with signature popups, switching focus in project search between the search box and results when pressing ESC, how documents are highlighted, flickering in the code completion menu while typing, problems with the Python path, and issues related to the Python path and o1 model. Furthermore, issues with JSX component names containing periods have been resolved, and the ctrl-delete function in the terminal has been corrected.

Important updates include taking away the code actions indicator from the side and changing the name of actions used in Zed's development from debug to dev, to avoid mixing it up with the new debugger feature.
