What is Gravity Forms?

Gravity Forms follows its 3.2 Repeater field with three add-on point releases.

After Gravity Forms 3.2 added a Repeater field and column layout options, the team shipped point releases for three integrations on October 21: HubSpot 3.0.5, Cloudflare Turnstile 1.5.1 and Pipe 1.6. None of the announcements names a new capability. The previous weeks were similar upkeep across Gravity Flow and its extensions.

What is Zed?

Zed 1.26 adds Pyrefly for Python and debugs WebAssembly from the JavaScript debugger.

Zed 1.26.2 adds Pyrefly as an optional built-in Python language server, an expandable variable tree in debugger hovers and DWARF support so the JavaScript debugger can step through WebAssembly sources. Agent work continues in smaller pieces: ACP configuration defaults now apply only to new conversations, model pickers get better fuzzy search, and thinking controls explain when thinking can't be turned off. The previous week's 1.25 line shrank binaries and gave external ACP agents context compaction.

Gravity Forms vs Zed: editorial side-by-side

G5.0

Gravity Forms follows its 3.2 Repeater field with three add-on point releases.

◆ Current state

After Gravity Forms 3.2 added a Repeater field and column layout options, the team shipped point releases for three integrations on October 21: HubSpot 3.0.5, Cloudflare Turnstile 1.5.1 and Pipe 1.6. None of the announcements names a new capability. The previous weeks were similar upkeep across Gravity Flow and its extensions.

◆ Where it's heading

Gravity Forms runs on a steady loop of add-on maintenance punctuated by occasional core minors. 3.2 was the first core feature release in this window, and the add-on work around it is compatibility and patching.

◆ Prediction

Expect more add-on point releases updating for 3.2 and a 3.2.x patch; the entries don't show the next core feature.

5.0

Zed 1.26 adds Pyrefly for Python and debugs WebAssembly from the JavaScript debugger.

◆ Current state

Zed 1.26.2 adds Pyrefly as an optional built-in Python language server, an expandable variable tree in debugger hovers and DWARF support so the JavaScript debugger can step through WebAssembly sources. Agent work continues in smaller pieces: ACP configuration defaults now apply only to new conversations, model pickers get better fuzzy search, and thinking controls explain when thinking can't be turned off. The previous week's 1.25 line shrank binaries and gave external ACP agents context compaction.

◆ Where it's heading

Zed is splitting attention between its agent panel, where ACP agents keep gaining the same session handling as Zed's own, and core editor depth in languages and debugging. Weekly stable releases with community-contributed features and quick model additions remain the pattern.

◆ Prediction

Expect 1.27 next week with more ACP session and model-picker work, plus further debugger and language-server additions.
