This week's release includes a stash picker, apply and drop git stash commands, the ability to amend commit messages without having any changes in your working copy, better drag-and-drop support in the project panel, better error reporting when the auto-updater fails, and improved token consumption when mentioning large files in the agent panel. Also, for the Pythonistas 🐍, Zed now directly ships with the ty language server (disabled by default) and Ruff (enabled by default) - no need to install the extensions for these anymore!

Features

General

  • Added support for drag-and-drop files and external paths into the empty space of the project panel, placing them in the last folder you have added to the project. (#38008)
