Breaking Changes and Notices

• Updated how clicking on multi-buffer headers works to provide better control and prevent unexpected navigation. (#42021)

  • Clicking the header now collapses/expands the file section instead of opening the file.

  • Existing shortcuts continue to work: use the left chevron to collapse or your keyboard shortcut to jump to the file

• Auto Updates (and remote server binaries) are now downloaded via https://cloud.zed.dev instead of https://zed.dev. As before, these URLs redirect to the GitHub release for actual downloads. (#42246)

• ./script/install.sh will now fetch assets via https://cloud.zed.dev/ instead of https://zed.dev. As before it will redirect to GitHub releases to complete the download. (#42399)

• Removed trigger argument in ShowCompletions command. (#42122)
