What's New is an index, not a publisher: every entry below links to the vendor's own release notes, which are the authoritative source. Entries are labelled where they are hand-curated sample data, pre-releases, or drawn from a secondary source such as a developer blog.

Reuse: the summaries, labels and curation here are © What's New. Quote freely with attribution and a link back; wholesale republication of the corpus is not permitted — terms: https://whatsnew.fyi/terms. The vendors' own release notes remain their publishers'.

- Fixed an issue where the Cursor ACP agent would fail to start ([#62826](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/62826))
- Added git_gutter_width setting to the Settings UI with default (font-size-scaled) and custom (fixed pixel width) options ([#62813](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/62813))
- Git: Fixed the GPG passphrase modal appearing on every commit for users whose configured pinentry (e.g. pinentry-mac with the macOS Keychain) can supply the passphrase without Zed's help. Zed now only prompts when gpg cannot obtain the passphrase on its own. ([#62782](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/62782))
- Fixed array merging for extensions case ([#62723](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/62723))
- Fixed project search not working in some non-Unicode files ([#62590](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/62590))
