Zed 0.209.5 released
A new update has been released for Zed, a high-performance, multiplayer code editor developed by the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter. The latest version, 0.209.5, comes with a wide range of improvements that focus on performance, AI capabilities, support for various programming languages, and bug fixes.
The release includes enhanced startup speed when using themes provided by extensions, reduced micro-stutters in project search with large multi-buffer contents, and improved support for detecting test runners in different languages. Additionally, Codestral has been added as an edit predictions provider, making it easier to predict code suggestions while writing.
Zed now works better with programming languages like JavaScript/TypeScript for finding node:test and bun:test test runners, Rust for using rust-analyzer with musl remotes, Go for running test examples, and Kotlin for using the official Kotlin language server. Markdown preview has also been enhanced to support HTML image tags inside paragraphs.
The update also addresses various performance-related issues, including fixing bugs that caused navigation to break when clicking on a line number in a multibuffer, making it possible to extend a selection using shift-click while preserving character/word/line granularity, and improving the responsiveness of collaboration panel labels when resizing the UI.
Moreover, several bug fixes have been implemented to address problems such as environment variable capture issues, duplicate line insertion problems, line copy not including newlines at the end of buffers, and ligature formation between real text and inlay hints on macOS. Other fixes include resolving issues with manual worktree reordering, navigation breaking when clicking on a line number, DAP logs not being viewable on remote projects, and nested opacity rendering incorrectly.
The update also includes several improvements to the User Interface (UI), such as updating the background checkboxes for image previews to match actual image sizes, making it easier to see the bounds of images with transparent backgrounds. Additionally, the UI font family can now be reset to its default value through the UI.
In terms of collaboration and debugging tools, Zed has improved support for browser debugging in SSH and WSL projects, disallowed rename, delete, and copy actions on unshared files, and fixed issues with the debugger, such as DAP logs not being viewable on remote projects.
Finally, the release includes several breaking changes, including the removal of the Give Feedback modal and updates to command palette actions. The Help menu now provides direct access to filing bug reports, feature requests, emailing Zed developers, and opening the Zed repository.
