Source page: https://dev-news.anonyfox.com/zed/

Every Zed release since January 2024 from the official GitHub releases, with dated notes on what happened to the features dev-news covered back then.

## Where it stands (2026-10-24)

Zed has shipped one stable minor a week since 1.0 on 29 April 2026. That is 1.0 through 1.25, and 54 stable builds counting patches.

Zed says v1.25 (21 October) cut the binary by about 30% on every platform. The patch after it, v1.25.3 on 23 October, updated dependencies "to address recent software ecosystem vulnerabilities". The notes don't say which ones.

## What happened to the stories we covered

### Zed gets GitHub Copilot (2023-04-20)

Original source: https://zed.dev/blog/copilot

Zed started training its own model. Edit prediction with Zeta arrived on 13 February 2025, and Zeta was rebuilt as Zeta2 in March 2026.

Since 4 February 2026 you choose the edit prediction provider yourself. Copilot is still in there: 70 stable releases since 2024 mention it, the latest v1.21.0 on 23 September 2026. On 1 June 2026 Zed explained what GitHub's usage-based Copilot billing means for its users.

### Zed goes open source (2024-01-24)

Original source: https://zed.dev/blog/zed-is-now-open-source

The stable line ran from 0.118 to 0.233 before Zed called it 1.0 on 29 April 2026. The last 0.x build was v0.233.10, five days earlier.

### Zed ships an official Linux build (2024-07-10)

Windows took fifteen more months. On 19 August 2025 the blog asked "What's Taking So Long?!" and on 15 October 2025 it answered with "Windows When? Windows Now".

### REPL support lands (2024-07-24)

The REPL stayed. It comes up in the notes of 17 stable releases since 2024, most recently v1.8.2 on 24 June 2026, which added a Stop button to notebook cells. Setup is in the REPL section below.

### Zed AI, with Claude (2024-08-20)

Billing became the recurring topic. Usage-based billing for heavy users came on 17 October 2024 and token-based pricing on 24 September 2025. In May and June 2026 two more posts covered Anthropic's and GitHub's billing changes.

On 23 July 2025 Zed let you switch all AI features off. On 5 May 2026 it published "We're Not Building AI Features for the Money".

### Channels for team collaboration (2024-01-17)

Collaboration turned into a product of its own. DeltaDB was introduced on 11 June 2026 and Delta on 12 August. Since 16 September Delta is in public beta, pitched as a replacement for pull requests.
