Releases

• Fixed agent threads appearing to be missing after upgrading to the parallel-agents sidebar. The thread-metadata migration was racing against the on-disk thread store's async reload and skipping itself on every launch. Upgrading to this build runs the migration successfully; previously-missing threads are surfaced either in the sidebar (5 most recent per project) or in the archive view. (#54752)

• agent: Fixed an issue where clicking on "New from summary" would not do anything (#54658)
• git: Fix create worktree hook tasks running when switching worktrees (#54643)

• git: Fix remote branch picker (#54576)

• Fixed a crash that could occur when git worktree creating fails (#54561)
• bedrock: Fixed an issue where Opus 4.7 would not work because of an invalid model ID (#54557)

Today, we are excited to announce parallel agents in Zed. Read the blog post for more information.

This week's release also includes Claude Opus 4.7 support (for BYOK), an editor: toggle block comment action, scroll wheel font size zooming, and anchor links and footnotes in Markdown Preview.

Shipped by the Zed Guild 🛡️

• Added support for footnotes in Markdown Preview. (#53086; thanks dongdong867)
• Added support for changing editor font size via scroll wheel (hold ctrl on Linux/Windows, cmd on macOS). Disabled by default; enable with the mouse_wheel_zoom setting. (#53452; thanks seanstrom)
