Enhancements

General

• Added emmet extension to the extension store. The extension offers initial support for Emmet in HTML files (#4992).
• Added editor: toggle git blame command that toggles a sidebar with git blame information for the current buffer. By default, editor: toggle git blame is bound to cmd-alt-g b.
• Added a tab switcher, which is accessible via ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab (#7321, #7653). The tab switcher works in both the main workspace area and in the terminal panel.
• Added the option to include the most-recently focused file in Zed as context to assistant chat panel (#9705).
  • Check it out here.
• Added support for persisting project search history across a session (#9717).
• Added support for transparent and blurred window backgrounds on macOS (#5040).

• Added an auto-update system for extensions (#8248).
• Added the ability to install any version of an extension (#8898).
• Added a close button to the f8 inline diagnostics.
• Improved editor performance when displaying lots of search results, diagnostics, or symbol highlights in the scrollbar (#9792).
• Improved discoverability of dev extension installation action (#10048).
• Improved target selection when jumping from multibuffer; final position in the buffer should more closely match the original position of the cursor in the multibuffer (#5296).
• Vim: Changed cc and S in to only change the current line after its indentation (#9612).

Tasks

• Added a "remove" button next to oneshot tasks in tasks modal.
• Improved task tabs in terminal and show different icons based on task state.
• Improved UseSelectedQuery (shift-enter) action for tasks modal by making it substitute a full command and not the task label.

Languages

• Added Tailwind CSS hover popovers (#7947).
• Added a new formatter/format_on_save option: code_actions. When configured, this uses language server code actions to format a buffer. This can be used if one wants to, for example, format a buffer with ESLint and not run prettier or another formatter afterwards. Example configuration: {"languages": {"JavaScript": {"formatter": {"code_actions": {"source.fixAll.eslint": true}}}}} (#8992).
• Added support for configuring ESLint problems settings, ie. {"lsp": {"eslint": {"settings": {"problems": {"shortenToSingleLine": true}}}}}.
  • See it in action here.
• Added Tailwind support in .vue files (#4403).
• Improved typescript-language-server integration by surfacing more information about completion items (#5287).

Bug Fixes

• Made "Find All References" respect the language server's capabilities. This fixes some instances where certain language servers would stop working after receiving a "Find All References" request.
• Fixed "Toggle comment" action not working in presence of non-default line comments such as doc comments in Rust (#10113).
• Fixed Zed sometimes missing environment variables from shell in case they were the first environment variable listed by /usr/bin/env.

• Fixed a bug where the tooltip for the recent projects popover was not showing.
• Fixed the vertical alignment of labels in the file tree to better align with the file icons.
• Fixed one-shot tasks having duplicates in tasks modal.
• Fixed a file permissions issue when trying to use a Zig language server (zls) present on the $PATH.
• Fixed a panic in editor::SelectPrevious (gN in vim) (#9766).
• Fixed a panic when deleting just-generated text.
• Fixed a panic when dragging into Zed.
• Fixed a panic in visual line mode with folds (#10284).
• Vim: Fixed motion bugs when softwrap, folds, or inlay hints were used.
• Vim: Fixed a bug where shortcuts in the command palette weren't showing the vim keymap keybindings (#4502).
• Vim: Fixed % in visual mode when at the end of a line.
• Vim: Fixed the t object in not working correctly when cursor was on a tag (#8994, #9844).

Breaking changes

• DuplicateLine is now split into separate DuplicateLineUp and DuplicateLineDown commands, to improve discoverability in the command palette (#9601). If you are using a custom keybinding for DuplicateLine, you will need to adjust it to reference the new command names.
• Added "fire-and-forget" task spawning; menu::SecondaryConfirm in tasks modal now spawns a task without registering it as the last spawned task for the purposes of task::Rerun. By default you can spawn a task in this fashion with cmd+enter or by holding cmd when clicking on a task entry in a list. Spawning oneshots has been rebound to option-enter (under a picker::ConfirmInput name) (#9804).
• Moved menu::UseSelectedQuery action to picker namespace.
• Removed built-in support for C#, Clojure, Erlang, PHP, TOML, and Zig, in favor of making them available as extensions. The respective extensions for these languages will be suggested for download when opening their associated file types: .cs for C#, .clj or similar for Clojure, .erl or .hrl for Erlang, .php for PHP, .toml or Cargo.lock for TOML, and .zig for Zig.

Bug Fixes

• Improved error handling when formatting buffers with prettier. Previously prettier errors would be logged but ignored. Now prettier errors are shown in the UI, just like language server errors when formatting. And if no formatter is specified (or set to "auto") and Zed attempts to use prettier for formatting, then prettier errors are no longer skipped. That fixes the issue of prettier not formatting invalid syntax, but its error being skipped, leading to typescript-language-server or another language server formatting invalid syntax.

Enhancements

General

• Improved efficiency by avoiding formatting and full saving for buffers without changes (#9475).
• Improved visuals of task lists inside the markdown preview.
• Improved the clarity of the UI for diagnostic and search result headers.

Languages

• Added workspace configuration settings support for elixir-ls language server. Those can now be configured by setting {"lsp": {"elixir-ls": { "settings: { "your-settings-here": "here"} } } in Zed settings (#4260).
• Added more path suffixes recognized as C++.
• Improved C/C++ support by using user-installed clangd when available.

• Fixed a bug where upgrading an extension did not work correctly if the extension had switched from using an old extension schema with extension.json to the new schema with extension.toml.
• Fixed a bug where Zed did not respond to the first, focusing, click on the application window (#4336).
• Fixed alignment of items in the title bar (#9709).
• Fixed a bug where code completions were overriding text around the cursor (#4816).
• Fixed a bug where multiple instances of the extensions view could be opened at once.

• Fixed a bug where environment variables were being leaked from tasks to the subsequent terminals.

Breaking changes

• Removed built-in support for Astro, Dockerfile, Gleam, Haskell, Prisma, PureScript, and Svelte, in favor of making them available as extensions. The respective extensions for these languages will be suggested for download when opening their associated file types: .astro for Astro, Dockerfile for Docker, .gleam for Gleam, .hs for Haskell, .prisma for Prisma, .purs for PureScript, and .svelte for Svelte.
• Renamed the copilot::Suggest action to editor::ShowInlineCompletion.
• Renamed the copilot::NextSuggestion action to editor::NextInlineCompletion.

{ 
  "lsp": {
    "rust-analyzer": {
      "binary": {
        "path": "/my/abs/path/rust-analyzer", 
        "arguments": ["--no-log-buffering"]
