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

code editorai agentsacpdebuggerpython
◆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.

    Zed 1.26.2: Pyrefly, WebAssembly debugging, debugger variable trees

    The 1.26 line widens the editor's core: Pyrefly as an optional Python server, a navigable variable tree in debugger hovers and WebAssembly debugging via DWARF. Agent changes are refinements, with ACP defaults no longer overwriting settings on reopened conversations.

    Zed 1.25.2: smaller binaries, ACP context compaction, Bedrock models

    The 1.25 line's main release shrinks binaries, adds double-click inlay hint edits, and gives external ACP agents session notices and context compaction. Bedrock gains GPT-6 Astra, Claude Fable 5.1 and Opus 5.5, keeping Zed's quick model-onboarding habit.

    Zed 1.24.4 fixes OpenCode models failing to load

    A single fix so OpenCode models load again after a missing-field npm error. It is maintenance on the growing provider list rather than new capability.

    Zed 1.24.3 adds Gemini 4 Argon to Google AI models

    A single-change patch that adds Gemini 4 Argon to the Google AI provider. It fits Zed's habit of shipping each new frontier model in a point release rather than waiting for the next weekly minor.

    Terminal tabs in the Agent Panel, Git tags, Bedrock tool use

    Terminal tabs can now be dragged into the Agent Panel, custom Bedrock models get configurable tool use, images and thinking, and long agent threads use less CPU and memory. Most of the remaining changelog is Git work, including local tag creation and Gerrit/Gitiles permalinks, so the release continues both of Zed's weekly tracks without changing direction.
