⭐ = Shipped via Let's Git Together

• Added word diff highlighting in expanded diff hunks (less than 5 lines), configurable via the word_diff_enabled language setting (defaults to true). (#43269)
• ⭐Added a File history view accessible via right-click context menu on files in the editor, project panel, or git panel. Shows commit history for the selected file with author, timestamp, and commit message. Clicking a commit opens a diff view filtered to show only changes for that specific file. (#42441, #44016; thanks ddoemonn)

• Improved overall git experience when loading buffers with massive git history where they would block other git jobs from running (such as staging/unstaging/committing). Now, git-blame runs separately from the git job queue on the side and the buffer with blame hints when finished thus unblocking other git operations. (#43565)
• ⭐Git will now check pushRemote and pushDefault configurations before falling back to branch remote. (#41700; thanks errmayank)

• Fixed an issue where hovering scrollbars in hovers would dismiss these. (#40008)
• settings: Deprecated code_actions_on_format in favor of specifying code actions to run on format inline in the formatter array. (#39983)

Breaking Changes and Notices

• Settings: Removed support for having format steps in both the format_on_save and formatter settings for languages. format_on_save is now restricted to the values of "on" and "off", and all format steps should be set under the formatter key. If you were using format_on_save but not formatter this will be migrated for you, otherwise it will require a manual migration. (#39400)

• Settings: Changed code action format in formatter and format_on_save settings. (#39375)

  Previous format:

  {
    "code_actions": {
      "source.organizeImports": true,
      "source.fixAll": true
    }
  }
  

  New format:

  [
    {"code_action": "source.organizeImports"},
    {"code_action": "source.fixAll"}
  ]
  

  After #39246, code actions run sequentially in order. The structure now reflects this and aligns with other formatter options (e.g., language servers). Both the formatter settings will be auto-migrated.

• Zed will no longer use node from your $PATH if it's older than 22.x (previously, the minimum version was 20.x). Instead, it will fall back to its bundled node. This fixes being unable to use Copilot if an older node was installed system-wide. (#39632)

• By default, Zed will now keep your terminal selection after copying text from it. This matches the default copy behavior of many terminals (Terminal.app, Ghostty, VS Code's terminal, etc.). To opt into the previous behavior, use "terminal": {"keep_selection_on_copy": false}.
  • Thanks for the heads-up, Steve Ruiz!

Features

General

• Added blame view and inline blame support for multi buffer editors. (#37366)
• Added a new action terminal::Toggle that is by default bound to 'ctrl-`'. This copies the default behavior from VSCode and JetBrains where the terminal opens and closes correctly. If you'd like the old behavior you can rebind 'ctrl-`' to terminal::ToggleFocus. (#37585)
• Terminal: Improved URL detection to now correctly handle trailing punctuation from sentence context. URLs ending with periods (like https://example.com.) and unbalanced parentheses (like https://example.com/path)) are now properly detected without including the trailing punctuation. (#37684; thanks Mearman)
• Terminal: Improved terminal path hyperlink navigation by considering the terminal working directory. (#36962; thanks davewa)

Breaking Changes and Notices

• Removed the chat feature from Zed (Sorry to the 5 of you who use this on the regular!). (#37789)
• Added built-in support for the basedpyright language server for Python. basedpyright is now enabled by default, and pyright (the primary Python language server previously) remains available, but is disabled by default. This supersedes the basedpyright extension, which can be uninstalled. Advantages of basedpyright over pyright include support for inlay hints, semantic highlighting, auto-import code actions, and stricter type checking. To switch back to pyright, add the following configuration to settings.json:

{
  "languages": {
    "Python": {
      "language_servers": ["pyright", "pylsp", "!basedpyright"]
    }
  }
}

• Added bindings for navigating between sibling nodes in the syntax tree on macOS (cmd-ctrl-{up/down} for SelectPreviousSyntaxNode and SelectNextSyntaxNode). Breaking change: the existing syntax tree parent/child navigation bindings have moved from ctrl-shift-{left/right} to cmd-ctrl-{left/right} to create a unified four-directional navigation pattern where all syntax tree operations use the same modifier combination. We could not use the previous base modifiers without breaking more bindings. (#37874)

• Fixed a bug where automatic updates were disabled by default for everyone. (#38022)

⚠️Due to this bug, Zed's version v0.203.x through v0.204.0 will not automatically update. ⚠️

You will need to:

• Open the command palette (cmd-shift-p on macOS, ctrl-shift-p on Linux) and type "auto update: check"
• Or (on macOS) open the Zed menu and click "Check for updates"
• Or, download the latest version

We are sorry for the mistake.

This week's release includes native macOS window tabbing support, enhanced font rendering with perceptual gamma correction and improved text contrast, expanded AI provider compatibility with configurable MCP tool timeouts and improved Ollama/OpenRouter handling, improvements to Vim/Helix, and much more!

Features

General

• Improved font rendering quality via perceptual gamma / contrast correction. (#37167)
• Improved text contrast when selected or highlighted in the editor. (#37165)
• Added support for native macOS window tabbing. When you set "use_system_window_tabs": true, Zed will merge windows in the same way as macOS: by default this happens only when full screened, but you can adjust your macOS settings to have this happen on all windows. (#33334; thanks gaauwe)
• Added support for configuring the number of context lines shown in a multibuffer via new excerpt_context_lines setting. (#37138)
• Added support for rewrap in block comments. (#34418; thanks claytonrcarter)
• Added setting rounded_selection to disable rounded corners for text selection. (#36987; thanks tie)
• Added LSP log tracing in both remote collab and remote SSH environments. (#36709, #37083)
• Debugger: Added option to only show stack frames from user's project in stack frame list. (#37061)
• Extensions: Added installation and updates to the activity indicator. (#37374)
• Markdown Preview: Added HTML <img src="/some-image.svg"> tag support. (#36700; thanks RemcoSmitsDev)
• Markdown Preview: Fixed auto size rendering of SVG images in Markdown. (#36663; thanks huacnlee)

AI

• Added support for configurable timeout for MCP tool calls. (#33348; thanks ribelo)
• Ollama: Resolved an issue with the Ollama provider that caused requests to fail with a 400 error for models that don't support tools. The tools object is now only sent to compatible models to ensure successful requests. (#37221; thanks imumesh18)
• OpenRouter: Added automatic retry when rate limited or server error returned. (#37221; thanks imumesh18)
• Improved tool compatibility with OpenAI API-compatible providers. (#34921; thanks imumesh18)
• Added support for custom API URLs for DeepSeek Provider. (#33905; thanks Justyer)

Edit Predictions

• Edit Prediction: Added Zlib license to open-source licenses eligible for data collection. (#37238)
• Edit Prediction: Added various BSD licenses to open-source licenses eligible for data collection. (#37194)
• Supermaven: Improved caching of predictions. (#37047; thanks raphaelluethy)
• Supermaven: Fixed an issue where changing cursor position would incorrectly trigger new completions. (#37047; thanks raphaelluethy)

Vim / Helix

• Added support for the \c and \C query pattern items to control case-sensitivity in buffer search. (#34762; thanks dinocosta)
• Helix: Improved x behaviour. Will respect modifiers (5 x). Pressing x on an empty line will select current+next line, because Helix considers current line to be already selected without the need of pressing x. (#35611; thanks romaninsh)
• Fixed handling of AnyBrackets in Vim's change surrounds cs. (#37386; thanks dinocosta)
• Fixed whitespace handling when changing surrounding pairs to quotes in Vim mode. (#37321; thanks dinocosta)

• Fixed incorrect keystroke reporting in the Keymap Editor. (#36998)
• Swapped the default bindings for editor::NewlineBelow and editor::NewlineAbove for Linux and Windows to align more with other editors. (#36939)

Languages

• Added a new "Wrap Selections in Tag" action to wrap selections in tags based on language. Works in HTML, JSX, and similar languages. (#36948; thanks thecrypticace)
• Python: Fixed terminals and tasks not respecting Python pyenv and pixi environments. (#37156)
• Python: Added searching for virtual environments in intermediate directories between a root of the worktree and the location of pyproject.toml applicable to the currently focused file. (#37037)
• Rust: Improved highlighting within macros. (#37049)
• C++: Enhanced keyword highlighting for C++. (#36817; thanks caiopiccirillo)

• Agent: Fixed a bug that caused terminals in the panel to be empty after their content reached a certain size. (#37318)
• Agent: Fixed a bug that caused the agent information in the panel header to be incorrect when opening a thread from history. (#37189)
• Agent: Made delete_path tool require user confirmation by default. (#37191)

• Edit Predictions: Fixed predictions showing up during partial IME composition. (#37400)
• Terminal: Fixed an issue where text selection was lost during continuous terminal output. (#37395)
• Inline Assistant: Fixed the terminal inline assistant button showing when disable_ai was turned on. (#37378)
• Inline Assistant: Improved @-mention menu item font size, better matching the buffer's font size. (#37375)
• Fixed ligatures forming between real text and inlay hints on macOS. (#37175)
• Fixed incorrect URL encoding of file paths with [ ] in them in LSP communications. (#37166; thanks WAKayser)
• Fixed an issue where hover popovers would not appear in language servers like Java. (#36984)
• Fixed an issue where Command Palette text looked faded when selected. (#37471)
• Fixed a bug where the commit generation message would not always show. (#37857)
• Improved handling of model refusals in ACP threads. (#37383)
• Improved error messages for unsupported ACP slash-commands. (#37393)

Breaking Changes and Notices

• Changed the behaviour when editing an old message in a native agent thread. Prior to this, it would automatically restore the checkpoint (which could lead to a surprising amount of work being discarded). Now it will just reject any unaccepted agent edits, and you can use the "restore checkpoint" button for the original behavior. (#37801)

Windows Alpha

• Added support for editing folders in WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). (#37035)

If you're interested in early access, please sign up for our Zed for Windows Beta waitlist.
