A notable feature is the toggle option for enabling or disabling edit predictions across all files, allowing users to customize their editing experience. Experimental support for settings profiles has also been added, enabling users to configure their environment with specific preferences through the "profiles" key.
The release brings improvements in prompt caching, project search speed, and the YAML outline, which now includes the key's value if it's a simple string. For Linux users, visibility of the prompt dialog has been enhanced to improve usability, and support for zed:// URLs has also been improved. The status bar's language server entry has received a visual update, along with the addition of the workspace::ToggleEditPrediction action, which allows users to control edit predictions from the settings menu.
In the realm of programming languages, Rust support has seen enhancements, including GitHub artifact digest verification for rust-analyzer and clangd downloads, ensuring that only up-to-date binaries are processed.
From a Git perspective, users can now create a branch directly from the default branch in the branch picker, and a new "View Pull Request" option has been added when pushing to GitLab remotes. Toast messages for fetch, push, and pull operations have also been improved for better user feedback.
The update addresses various bugs, including issues with Python debug sessions, scrolling in the "Add LLM Provider" modal, and CSS/LESS/SCSS diagnostics. A number of performance fixes have been implemented, such as resolving excessive LSP requests during remote sessions and ensuring proper focus after using "Open with Zed."
However, it is important to note that FreeBSD support has been temporarily removed in this version.
In summary, Zed 0.199.5 brings a blend of new features, performance enhancements, and critical bug fixes that aim to improve the overall user experience and functionality of the platform. Users are encouraged to explore these updates to leverage the full potential of Zed in their projects and workflows
