Release 2.50 introduces the following new features:
- Global connection settings: You can now configure connection settings that apply to all projects by right-clicking Google Cloud in the Project Explorer window and selecting Connection settings. Global connection settings are inherited across all projects, zones, and VM instances.

In addition, the release includes several stability improvements and fixes for the following issues:
- Copying or pasting text to the terminal could work unreliably.
