Zed's September 9 releases bring call hierarchy and Git multi-select to the stable channel, while the 1.20.0 preview ships a 25% smaller binary, configurable new-window behavior, and Gemini 3.8 Flash.
The September 2 stable release brings inline debugger values for C/C++, persistent File Finder history, and Grok 4.5/4.6 support. The same-day preview adds call hierarchy, Git Panel multi-select, and automatic language detection.
The team behind Zed is building a separate product called Delta — a browser-based coding environment where code edits and agent conversations sync together in real time through a new database called DeltaDB.
The August 26 Zed preview release adds Grok 4.5 and 4.6, Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, overhauled Markdown styling, inline debugger values for C/C++, and persistent file finder history.

Zed ships 1.16.1 as stable with Gemini 3.6 Flash and Mermaid improvements, while the 1.17.0 preview adds sortable tabular data previews for CSV and TSV files, selective git stashing, and lower memory use for large files.

Zed's first stable release on the 1.14 branch lands with OS-level sandboxing for agent tools and a default keymap change that will trip up existing VSCode-style users: cmd-i and F5 no longer do what they used to.
Zed's latest preview release restricts what the AI agent can do in the terminal and on the network using native OS sandbox mechanisms — Seatbelt on macOS, Bubblewrap on Linux. Also: Skip Hooks, undo/redo for file ops, and adaptive thinking toggles.
Zed's latest stable release ships per-response buttons in the Agent Panel, thinking support for Mistral Medium 3.5 and Small 4, run-status indicators in the editor gutter, improved branch picker filtering, and fixes for a Git timeout bug and a Linux memory leak.
Zed's 1.12.0 stable release ships a redesigned Git Panel with separate staged and unstaged sections, multi-select for the File and Text Finders, CSV row filtering, and a fix for TypeScript 7 language server breakage.
Zed 1.10 ships llama.cpp as a built-in LLM provider for running local models, moves AI configuration into the settings editor, and picks up GPT-5.6 support within a day of the models' release.
Zed's stable 1.9.0 release ships resizable pickers with live previews, in-thread search for the Agent Panel, and adds GLM 5.2, Kimi K2.7 Code, and DeepSeek V4 Pro.
Zed's 1.9.0 preview, released June 24, adds in-thread search to the Agent Panel, a sandbox settings page for controlling what agents can do in the terminal, resizable pickers with live file previews, and new models including GLM 5.2 and Kimi K2.7 Code.
Zed's 1.8.0 preview, released June 17, lets you create a new worktree directly from the sidebar's new-thread button, adds an agent.terminal_init_command setting for automating terminal setup, and introduces select inside/around delimiters actions for faster code navigation.
Zed's June 17 stable release ships automatic agent context compaction, the /compact command for manual control, agent skills moved into settings UI, custom git commands on branches and tags, and a cleaner Markdown preview.
Zed's stable release on June 10 ships fast mode for Anthropic and OpenAI models, shareable skill links, terminal sandboxing improvements, and a cleaner set of Git diff tools.
Zed released version 1.5.3 stable and 1.6.0 preview on June 3. The stable release adds Mermaid rendering improvements, clickable document links from language servers, and agent thread renaming. The preview introduces fast mode for Anthropic and OpenAI models, shareable skill links, and a setting for customizing AI commit messages.
Zed 1.3.5 ships Terminal Threads as a stable feature, letting developers run Claude Code, Codex, Amp, or any CLI agent as a managed thread in the sidebar. Mermaid diagrams now render inline in the agent panel. Version 1.3.6 follows with Gemini 3.5 Flash and thinking levels for Google models.
Zed 1.2.4 adds a ChatGPT subscription provider so developers can sign in with a ChatGPT Plus or Pro account and use OpenAI models in the editor without per-token billing. Three patch releases shipped on May 15.
Zed shipped version 1.0 on April 29, reaching the milestone with cross-platform support, a new Agent Client Protocol backed by Google and JetBrains, and a Zed for Business tier.
