v0.205.5

• ACP: Return more informative error types from read_text_file to agents. (#38863)
• ACP: Fixed read_text_file returning errors for empty files. (#38856)
• Fixed a crash when hovering over a quoted string with multibyte characters.

v0.206.0-pre

This week's release includes a git: rename branch action, better symbol outline for JS/TS, additions to Vim/Helix modes, an improved agent panel settings view, and automatic Markdown URL embedding on paste.

Features

AI

• Agent: Made the agent panel's textarea font size follow the font size of regular buffers. They're now both controlled by the buffer_font_size setting. (#38726)
• Agent: Do not include the content of @-mentioned directories when tools are available. (#37942)
• Agent: Improved settings view UI and solved issue where MCP servers would get unsorted upon turning them on and off (they're all alphabetically sorted now). (#38419)
• Agent: Added an error message when a Gemini response contains a block_reason. (#38670)

Debugger

• Added Edit debug.json button to debugger control strip. (#38600; thanks iluuu1994)
• Added additional context to debug task selection. (#36650; thanks matt-revell)

Vim / Helix

• Helix: Implemented ~, `, Alt-` correctly in normal and select modes. (#38119; thanks romaninsh)
• Added a vim::HelixPaste command that imitates Helix's paste behavior. (#37963; thanks jneem)
• Improved vim gt and gT to support count, e.g. 5gt - go to tab 5, 8gT - go to 8th previous tab with wraparound. (#38570; thanks bluetech)

Git

• Added git: rename branch action to rename a branch (git branch -m). (#38273)
• Added a link to GitHub's authentication help if you end up in Zed trying to type a password in for HTTPS auth. (#38479)

Languages

• TypeScript/JavaScript: Updated package.json and tsconfig.json schemas to newest release (2025-09-21). Match tsconfig.*.json too. (#38655)
• TypeScript/JavaScript: Symbol outline now includes closures nested within functions. (#38411; thanks dstrygwyr)
• Markdown: Added automatic Markdown URL embedding on paste. (#38639)

Bug Fixes

• Agent: Fixed Gemini refusing requests with certain profiles/systems. (#38705)
• Vim: Fixed issue in Vim mode where switching from any mode to normal mode could end up with the cursor in the newline character. (#38161; thanks dinocosta)
• Vim: Fixed regression in vim's surround plugin that ignored whether the opening or closing bracket was being used when replacing quotes, so space would always be added. (#38344; thanks dinocosta)
• Vim: Fixed a rare panic in search. (#38437)
• Git: Fixed git amend on panel sending "Update ..." instead of the original commit message. (#38681; thanks AlvaroParker)
• Git: Fixed git amend button not working. (#38681; thanks AlvaroParker)

• TSX: Fixed an issue where editing TSX could add an extra closing tag to an unrelated line. (#38534)
• Debugger: Fixed sort order of past launched debug sessions in debugger launch modal. (#38452)

• Fixed Workspace: Copy Relative Path not copying while the Find bar is focused. (#38645; thanks lemorage)
• Fixed an issue where editor highlights could crash. (#38510; thanks lemorage)

Breaking Changes and Notices

• Settings: Major internal changes to settings. The primary user-facing effect is that some settings which did not make sense in project settings files are no longer read from there. (For example, the inline blame settings). (#38367)
• Removed the /cargo-workspace slash command. (#38354)
