zed-industries/zed v0.228.0-pre

on GitHub

This week's release includes the ability to easily ask the agent to resolve merge conflicts, @-mentioning your branch diff to provide all changes since main as context, removing/renaming worktrees over SSH, and deleting worktrees via the branch picker.

Features

AI

• Agent: Added ability to @-mention your branch diff to include all changes since main as context. (#51235)
• Agent: Enabled thinking mode when using Anthropic models with Copilot. (#46540)
• Agent: Added Paste as Plain Text to the agent panel message editor right-click menu. (#50625)
• Agent: Added api_url and api_key settings for the LM Studio provider. (#48309; thanks SkyVence)

Git

• Added the ability to quickly resolve merge conflicts with the agent. (#49807)
• Added the ability to delete a git worktree from the worktree picker (cmd-shift-backspace on macOS, ctrl-shift-backspace on Linux/Windows). (#50015; thanks davidalecrim1)
• Added support for removing and renaming worktrees when connected via SSH. (#50759)
• Added a git: restore and next action that restores the diff hunk at the cursor and conditionally moves to the next one. In the git diff view, the default restore keybinding (cmd-alt-z on macOS, ctrl-k ctrl-r on Linux/Windows) now triggers this action instead of git: restore. (#50324)
