Zed v1.5.4 Changelog

This release is a maintenance update for the Zed code editor. It doesn’t add flashy new features, but it makes the app much more reliable. If you use Zed for coding, especially with AI tools, this update matters because it stops the app from crashing or freezing during common tasks.

Improvements

• Smarter code warning navigation: When you jump to the next or previous "diagnostic" (a code warning or error), the editor will now first check if your cursor is already sitting on one. Instead of blindly jumping away, it prioritizes the warning you're currently looking at, making it easier to fix issues in order.

Fixes

• Diff view crash: Fixed a crash that happened when you "unsplit" a side-by-side comparison view (closing the split screen showing differences between two files).
• AI agent downloads: Fixed an issue where certain AI agents from the ACP Registry wouldn't start downloading properly.
• High CPU usage: Fixed a bug where "Zeta" (an AI feature) would sometimes cause your computer's processor to work overtime and slow down.
• AI text crash: Fixed a crash that happened while an AI agent was streaming edits containing "multibyte characters" (like emojis or non-English letters that take up more computer memory).
• File syncing freeze: Fixed an issue where Zed would stop noticing changes made to your files outside of the editor, ensuring your files stay perfectly in sync.
