Overall, the release is a step forward for Python developers and those working with WebAssembly, signaling Zed's focus on making debugging a core feature rather than an afterthought
Zed 1.26.2 Adds Built-in Pyrefly, Debugger Hover Expansion, and WebAssembly Debugging
Zed Industries released version 1.26.2 today, a weekly patch that bundles Pyrefly, Microsoft's Python language server, as an opt-in built-in option. The release also lets you expand nested variable values directly in debugger hovers and adds DWARF support for debugging WebAssembly sources. On top of the headline features, it ships a long tail of fixes for agent integrations, SSH reconnections, macOS Display P3 color, and cross-platform file handling. Coming just weeks into Zed's steady 1.26 line, the patch nudges the Rust-native editor closer to IDE-grade tooling without sacrificing its speed-focused pitch.
