Stable Releases

This week's release includes the option to view split (side-by-side) diffs, LSP semantic tokens highlighting, granular per-tool permission settings for the Agent, and further safeguards against the Agent running destructive commands.

Features

AI

Agent: Introduced per-tool permission settings, including regexes for controlling when tools may be auto-allowed, auto-denied, or always require confirmation. (#48553)
Agent: Added Claude Opus 4.6 and 4.6 Thinking with Cross region inference for US, EU, and Global endpoints. (#48525; thanks 5herlocked)
Agent: Improved terminal command safety by auto-blocking a wider range of dangerous commands (e.g. rm -rf $HOME in addition to rm -rf ~), detecting commands hidden in I/O redirects, here-documents, and compound command constructs, and detecting path traversal attacks in destructive commands. (#48399, #48635, #48640)
Agent: Added a Latest indicator to highlight the latest models available through the Zed provider. (#48614)
Agent: Added alt-l as an alternate keybinding for agent::CycleFavoriteModels on Linux and Windows, since alt-tab conflicts with the OS app switcher. (#48390)
Agent: Changed the Agent Panel so that the active thread is restored on restart. (#47795)
Agent: Changed file and directory tool operations to require confirmation before modifying sensitive settings paths. (#48641)
Agent: Improved image insertion by placing images at the cursor position. (#48779)
