Features
AI
- Added a max-width to the thread view for better readability, particularly when the panel is zoomed in. (#52730)
- Bedrock: Added 9 new models across 3 new providers (NVIDIA, Z.AI) and expanded coverage for existing providers (Mistral, MiniMax). (#53043; thanks 5herlocked)
- Added a setting to control reasoning_effort in custom OpenAI-compatible models. (#50582; thanks vimsucks)
- Added keybindings for scrolling in agent view. (#52657; thanks hron)
- Added new agent notification sound options. (#52284; thanks jm-observer)
- Add padding to markdown output in card layout. (#53194; thanks markosnarinian)
- Added a setting to control whether or not the button to resolve merge conflicts with the agent should be displayed. ((#53033))
Git
- Added support for git checkpoint operations in remote/Dev Container sessions, restoring the "Restore from checkpoint" button in Agent threads. (#48896; thanks oliverbarnes)
- Added support for diff.plus and diff.minus theme selectors in the diff syntax grammar. (#45459; thanks bcomnes)
Languages
- Added the option for highlights from languages to specify fallbacks. That means that if you have a pattern with the captures @second.capture @first.capture, Zed will first try resolving a highlight from your theme for the code fragment using the first capture, then look for the second capture if no match for the first capture could be found. (#52575)
- Improved syntax highlighting for custom jsx elements in TSX and JavaScript languages. Theme authors and users can now highlight these in their theme/theme overrides using tag.component.jsx. (#49881; thanks finico)
Collaboration
- Added persistence to the Show Occupied Channels collab toggle. (#53029)
Other
- Added "Focus Follows Mouse" for editor and terminal panes. (#46740; thanks jrobsonchase)
- Added Ctrl+R keybinding for opening recent projects on macOS and Linux, matching VS Code's default behavior on all platforms. (#52893; thanks davidalecrim1)
