Zed 0.204.1 has been released with an array of new features and improvements. One of the most notable changes is the inclusion of support for using the basedpyright Python language server by default, replacing pyright as the primary Python language server. This change comes with a range of benefits, including inlay hints, semantic highlighting, auto-import code actions, and stricter type checking.
In addition to this significant update, the Zed editor has also seen improvements to external agent support over SSH, allowing users to interact with agents in a more seamless way. Furthermore, plan mode for Claude Code is now available, along with other permission modes.
The release also includes enhancements to Git functionality, including the ability to uncommit changes and view blame information in multi-buffer editors. Users can now navigate between documents using syntax tree commands, making it easier to identify and interact with specific code elements.
Other notable improvements include better terminal navigation, with URL detection that accurately handles punctuation and parentheses. The terminal path hyperlink navigation has also been updated to consider the working directory, making it simpler to jump between files and directories within a project.
To facilitate collaboration and communication, users can now specify human-readable project names for each worktree. This change makes it easier to identify projects and switch between them.
This release also implements several bug fixes, addressing issues with automatic updates, agent panel crashes, and inconsistencies in search behavior. Additionally, improvements have been made to diagnostics, with the ability to view current file diagnostics and display error messages more effectively.
In terms of language support, the Zed editor now includes features such as label highlighting for Go, package origin information for Python completions from pyright/basedpyright, and shorthand field highlighting for Rust. Markdown syntax highlighting has also been improved, allowing users to preview their documents with greater accuracy.
