Zed v1.15.1 Changelog

This release is a routine maintenance update for the Zed code editor. It doesn't add flashy new tools, but it focuses on making existing features more reliable. This matters most to developers who were getting frustrated by repetitive password prompts, broken AI assistants, or search tools that failed on certain files.

Fixes

• Cursor AI agent fix: The Cursor ACP agent (a background helper that connects Zed to the Cursor AI coding assistant) was failing to start. It now launches properly so you can use AI features without errors.
• Git password pop-up fix: When saving (committing) your code with Git, Zed was popping up a window asking for your GPG passphrase (a secret password used to cryptographically "sign" your code) every single time. If you use a tool like macOS Keychain that already remembers this password, Zed will now stay out of the way and only ask you if your computer truly can't supply the password on its own.
• Extension settings fix: Extensions (add-on plugins for the editor) sometimes use lists of settings (called arrays in programming). There was a bug in how Zed combined these lists when merging settings together, which is now fixed so extensions behave the way their creators intended.
• Project search fix: Searching for words across your whole project was breaking down if you had files containing non-Unicode text (basically, text saved in older or unusual character formats that don't match modern text standards). The search tool can now scan these files without giving up or failing.
