A new version of the Zed editor has been released and has implemented various enhancements aimed at optimizing the user experience.

The editor has been updated to git::Restore and git::RestoreFile to ensure consistency with git, and the editor::ExpandAllHunkDiffs action has been modified to editor::ExpandAllDiffHunks. Recent enhancements cover the introduction of an allow_rewrap setting, an on_last_window_closed setting, initial support for inline diagnostics, a stop_at_indent option for MoveToBeginningOfLine and SelectToBeginningOfLine, capabilities for checking package-version-server on the $PATH, compatibility with repositories hosted on chromium.googlesource.com for Git blames and permalinks, functionality for selecting the commit message in git commits, and the provision to specify an HTTP/HTTPS proxy for Copilot.

The responsiveness of the diagnostic pane has been enhanced, and the performance of the project panel in extensive git repositories has been optimized. The enhancements to the documentation are noteworthy, with significant improvements made to syntax highlighting and themes. The editor has addressed bugs in the vim-exchange implementation, resolved issues with the assistant and editor, and corrected visual selections when navigating to marks.

Recent enhancements to keybindings in Emacs feature the introduction of alt-m mapping, alt-{ and alt-} for paragraph navigation, as well as resolved undo issues within the platform. Mac users now have the ability to navigate to the previous multibuffer excerpt start using a designated command, and can utilize cmd-down to advance to the next multibuffer excerpt end. Users of Windows can now utilize the "menu" key. Rust has introduced support for the --target-dir option for Rust tasks, documentation tests in tasks for Rust, and the ability to spawn cargo test tasks for test modules. Python has resolved issues related to indentation and the failure of Pyright to initiate when installed locally.

The Assistant now includes support for AWS Bedrock, and enhancements have been made to edit predictions to effectively identify LICENSE.md and LICENCE.md files. The recent updates address several issues, including a problem with the GoToDefinitionSplit action, an obstacle preventing project rejoining, an infinite loop occurring when copying a folder into its subfolder, erratic run indicators when buffer content changes, the breadcrumb appearing in the image viewer despite toolbar breadcrumbs being disabled, the inability to open the outline modal when focus is on the buffer search bar, a crash occurring while typing in the assistant panel with edit predictions enabled, and inconsistencies in keystroke rendering on Linux.

Here is the full announcement:
