Release Notes:
- Settings can now be configured per operating system with the new
top-level fields: `"macos"`/`"windows"`/`"linux"`. These will override
user level settings, but are lower precedence than _release channel_
settings.
The installer, uninstaller, and the Zed binary files are all signed
using Microsoft’s newly launched Trusted Signing service. For
demonstration purposes, I have used my own account for the signing
process.
For more information about Trusted Signing, you can refer to the
following links:

Closes #ISSUE
Adds a new `documentation` method to actions, that is extracted from doc
comments when using the `actions!` or derive macros.
Additionally, this PR adds doc comments to as many action definitions in
Zed as possible.
Release Notes:
- N/A *or* Added/Fixed/Improved ...
Don't immediately show "auto-update failed" errors in the status bar
when launching zed offline or when a periodic auto-update check is
triggered when you are offline. Manual checks (via menu or action) or
errors after the initial version check succeeds (download/extraction
failure) are unchanged.

Follow up to #31179
In addition to seeing the version when in the `Click to restart and
update Zed` status, this PR allows us to see the version when in
`Downloading Zed update…` or `Installing Zed update…` status, in a
tooltip, when hovering on the activity indicator.
Will merge after tomorrow's release.
Release Notes:
- Added version information, in a tooltip, when hovering on the activity
indicator for both the download and install status.
This PR simply does a tiny bit of cleanup on some code, where I wasn't
quite happy with the naming and ordering of parameters of the now
`check_if_fetched_version_is_newer` function. There should be no
functional changes here, but I will wait until after tomorrow's release
to merge.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR replaces some `update()` calls with either `read()` or
`read_with()` when the `update()` call performed read-only operations on
the entity.
Many more likely exist, will follow-up with more PRs.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR brings back https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/30969 and
adds some initial testing.
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/30969 did indeed allow Zed to
continue doing downloads after downloading one, but it introduced a bug
where Zed would download a new binary every time it polled, even if the
version was the same as the running instance.
This code could use a refactor to allow more / better testing, but this
is a start.
Release Notes:
- N/A
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/30972 brought up another
case where our context is not enough to track the actual source of the
issue: we get a general top-level error without inner error.
The reason for this was `.ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("failed to read HEAD
SHA"))?; ` on the top level.
The PR finally reworks the way we use anyhow to reduce such issues (or
at least make it simpler to bubble them up later in a fix).
On top of that, uses a few more anyhow methods for better readability.
* `.ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("..."))`, `map_err` and other similar error
conversion/option reporting cases are replaced with `context` and
`with_context` calls
* in addition to that, various `anyhow!("failed to do ...")` are
stripped with `.context("Doing ...")` messages instead to remove the
parasitic `failed to` text
* `anyhow::ensure!` is used instead of `if ... { return Err(...); }`
calls
* `anyhow::bail!` is used instead of `return Err(anyhow!(...));`

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/8968
This PR addresses the following scenario:
1. User's Zed polls for an update, finds one, and installs it
2. User doesn't immediately restart Zed, a new update is released, and
the previous version of Zed would stop polling (ignoring the new update)
3. User eventually restarts Zed and is immediately prompted to install
another update
With this change, the auto-updater will continue polling for and
installing new versions even after an initial update is found, reducing
update prompts on restart.
---
This PR does not address the following scenario:
1. User's Zed polls for an update, finds one, and installs it
2. Another update is released before the next scheduled polling interval
3. User restarts Zed and is immediately prompted to install the newer
update
Release Notes:
- Improved the auto-updater to continue checking for updates even after
finding and installing an initial update. This reduces situations where
users are prompted to install another update immediately after
restarting from a previous update.

Follow-up of https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/30015
* Restyles the dismiss and close buttons a bit: change the dismiss icon
and add tooltips with the bindings to both
* Allows ESC to clear any status that's in the activity indicator now,
if all notifications are cleared: this won't suppress any further status
additions though, so statuses may resurface later
Release Notes:
- Added a way to clear activity indicator
Things this doesn't currently handle:
- [x] ~testing~
- ~we really need an snapshot test that takes a vscode settings file
with all options that we support, and verifies the zed settings file you
get from importing it, both from an empty starting file or one with lots
of conflicts. that way we can open said vscode settings file in vscode
to ensure that those options all still exist in the future.~
- Discussed this, we don't think this will meaningfully protect us from
future failures, and we will just do this as a manual validation step
before merging this PR. Any imports that have meaningfully complex
translation steps should still be tested.
- [x] confirmation (right now it just clobbers your settings file
silently)
- it'd be really cool if we could show a diff multibuffer of your
current settings with the result of the vscode import and let you pick
"hunks" to keep, but that's probably too much effort for this feature,
especially given that we expect most of the people using it to have an
empty/barebones zed config when they run the import.
- [x] ~UI in the "welcome" page~
- we're planning on redoing our welcome/walkthrough experience anyways,
but in the meantime it'd be nice to conditionally show a button there if
we see a user level vscode config
- we'll add it to the UI when we land the new walkthrough experience,
for now it'll be accessible through the action
- [ ] project-specific settings
- handling translation of `.vscode/settings.json` or `.code-workspace`
settings to `.zed/settings.json` will come in a future PR, along with UI
to prompt the user for those actions when opening a project with local
vscode settings for the first time
- [ ] extension settings
- we probably want to do a best-effort pass of popular extensions like
vim and git lens
- it's also possible to look for installed/enabled extensions with `code
--list-extensions`, but we'd have to maintain some sort of mapping of
those to our settings and/or extensions
- [ ] LSP settings
- these are tricky without access to the json schemas for various
language server extensions. we could probably manage to do translations
for a couple popular languages and avoid solving it in the general case.
- [ ] platform specific settings (`[macos].blah`)
- this is blocked on #16392 which I'm hoping to address soon
- [ ] language specific settings (`[rust].foo`)
- totally doable, just haven't gotten to it yet
~We may want to put this behind some kind of flag and/or not land it
until some of the above issues are addressed, given that we expect
people to only run this importer once there's an incentive to get it
right the first time. Maybe we land it alongside a keymap importer so
you don't have to go through separate imports for those?~
We are gonna land this as-is, all these unchecked items at the bottom
will be addressed in followup PRs, so maybe don't run the importer for
now if you have a large and complex VsCode settings file you'd like to
import.
Release Notes:
- Added a VSCode settings importer, available via a
`zed::ImportVsCodeSettings` action

This adds a "workspace-hack" crate, see
[mozilla's](https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/3a265fdc9f33e5946f0ca0a04af73acd7e6d1a39/build/workspace-hack/Cargo.toml#l7)
for a concise explanation of why this is useful. For us in practice this
means that if I were to run all the tests (`cargo nextest r
--workspace`) and then `cargo r`, all the deps from the previous cargo
command will be reused. Before this PR it would rebuild many deps due to
resolving different sets of features for them. For me this frequently
caused long rebuilds when things "should" already be cached.
To avoid manually maintaining our workspace-hack crate, we will use
[cargo hakari](https://docs.rs/cargo-hakari) to update the build files
when there's a necessary change. I've added a step to CI that checks
whether the workspace-hack crate is up to date, and instructs you to
re-run `script/update-workspace-hack` when it fails.
Finally, to make sure that people can still depend on crates in our
workspace without pulling in all the workspace deps, we use a `[patch]`
section following [hakari's
instructions](https://docs.rs/cargo-hakari/0.9.36/cargo_hakari/patch_directive/index.html)
One possible followup task would be making guppy use our
`rust-toolchain.toml` instead of having to duplicate that list in its
config, I opened an issue for that upstream: guppy-rs/guppy#481.
TODO:
- [x] Fix the extension test failure
- [x] Ensure the dev dependencies aren't being unified by Hakari into
the main dependencies
- [x] Ensure that the remote-server binary continues to not depend on
LibSSL

TODO:
- [x] Use AsyncFn instead of Fn() -> Future in GPUI spawn methods
- [x] Implement it in the whole app
- [x] Implement it in the debugger
- [x] Glance at the RPC crate, and see if those box future methods can
be switched over. Answer: It can't directly, as you can't make an
AsyncFn* into a trait object. There's ways around that, but they're all
more complex than just keeping the code as is.
- [ ] Fix platform specific code
Release Notes:
- N/A
Done automatically with
> ast-grep -p '$A.background_executor().spawn($B)' -r
'$A.background_spawn($B)' --update-all --globs "\!crates/gpui"
Followed by:
* `cargo fmt`
* Unexpected need to remove some trailing whitespace.
* Manually adding imports of `gpui::{AppContext as _}` which provides
`background_spawn`
* Added `AppContext as _` to existing use of `AppContext`
Release Notes:
- N/A
Fix a bug where a GPUI macro still used `ModelContext`
Rename `AsyncAppContext` -> `AsyncApp`
Rename update_model, read_model, insert_model, and reserve_model to
update_entity, read_entity, insert_entity, and reserve_entity
Release Notes:
- N/A
There's still a bit more work to do on this, but this PR is compiling
(with warnings) after eliminating the key types. When the tasks below
are complete, this will be the new narrative for GPUI:
- `Entity<T>` - This replaces `View<T>`/`Model<T>`. It represents a unit
of state, and if `T` implements `Render`, then `Entity<T>` implements
`Element`.
- `&mut App` This replaces `AppContext` and represents the app.
- `&mut Context<T>` This replaces `ModelContext` and derefs to `App`. It
is provided by the framework when updating an entity.
- `&mut Window` Broken out of `&mut WindowContext` which no longer
exists. Every method that once took `&mut WindowContext` now takes `&mut
Window, &mut App` and every method that took `&mut ViewContext<T>` now
takes `&mut Window, &mut Context<T>`
Not pictured here are the two other failed attempts. It's been quite a
month!
Tasks:
- [x] Remove `View`, `ViewContext`, `WindowContext` and thread through
`Window`
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Redraw window when entities change
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Get examples and Zed running
- [x] [@cole-miller @mikayla-maki] Fix Zed rendering
- [x] [@mikayla-maki] Fix todo! macros and comments
- [x] Fix a bug where the editor would not be redrawn because of view
caching
- [x] remove publicness window.notify() and replace with
`AppContext::notify`
- [x] remove `observe_new_window_models`, replace with
`observe_new_models` with an optional window
- [x] Fix a bug where the project panel would not be redrawn because of
the wrong refresh() call being used
- [x] Fix the tests
- [x] Fix warnings by eliminating `Window` params or using `_`
- [x] Fix conflicts
- [x] Simplify generic code where possible
- [x] Rename types
- [ ] Update docs

This PR extracts an `auto_update_ui` crate out of the `auto_update`
crate.
This allows `auto_update` to not depend on heavier crates like `editor`,
which in turn allows other downstream crates to start building sooner.

Closes #ISSUE
This refactors SSH installation to require less shell stuff. We'd like
to
support arbitrary remote hosts, and unfortunately csh/tcsh have quoting
rules
that make it impossible to run multi-line scripts.
The primary changes are:
* The target path now contains the version:
`./zed_server/zed-remote-server-{release_channel}-{version}`
* We do all our processing in a temporary file and `mv` it into place.
* We do fewer calls to `ssh_command` overall. With the previous two
changes we can avoid lock files, and fuser calls. Instead cleanup of old
binaries now happens in `execute_run`.
* We only try to install the remote server when the connection is
established, not on each project open.
This should also put us in a good position if we want to pre-emptively
install new versions when the auto-updater detects an update for the
running version of zed (but that's not wired up yet)
Release Notes:
- Remoting: Fixed remoting when the remote runs `tcsh`
- Remoting: Improved latency of connecting

This ensures that we detect if a new nightly version of the remote
server is available.
Previously we would always mark a version as matching if they had the
same semantic version.
However, for nightly versions we also need to check if they have the
same commit SHA.

This changes the download logic to not fetch the latest version, but to
fetch the version matching the current version of Zed.
Release Notes:
- Changed the update logic of the SSH remote server to not fetch the
latest version for a current channel, but to fetch the version matching
the current Zed version. If Zed is updated, the server is updated too.
If the server is newer than the Zed version an error will be displayed.
This adds the following optional setting:
```json
{
"remote_server": {
"download_on_host": false
}
}
```
Right now, it's **off by default** because I haven't tested it enough.

We are now using the `view release notes locally` action when clicking
on the update toast - the endpoint for this action does not currently
return anything for valid for these channels, as we don't have support
yet for diffing between these builds, so for now, [continue to do what
the `view release notes` action did and just send the user to the commit
view on
GitHub](caffb2733f/crates/auto_update/src/auto_update.rs (L255-L260)).
It is a bit counterintuitive to send the user to the browser when using
the "local" action, but this is just a patch in the interim.
If we make adjustments to our channels to keep the nightly tag stable
and add some sort of unique suffix, like a timestamp, we can then adjust
things to return these in the request body and show them in the editor.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/17527
I think we are ok to switch to using the local action now. There are a
few things we don't support, like media, but we don't include media
directly too often, and I think this might help push the community to
maybe add support for it. That being said, I updated the markdown coming
back from the endpoint to include links to the web version of the
release notes, so they can always hop over to that version, if they
would like.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b4d207a7-1640-48f1-91d0-94537f74116c
All forming of the Markdown happens in the endpoint, so if someone with
a better eye wants to update this, you can do that here:
0e5923e3e7/src/pages/api/release_notes/v2/%5Bchannel_type%5D/%5Bversion%5D.ts (L50-L62)
Release Notes:
- Changed the `view the release notes` button in the update toast to
trigger the local release notes action.
Closes#10782
In some cases, during the auto-update process,
the update can fail and leave a dangling disk image in macOS. If the
auto-update fails again, a new dangling mounted volume will be left
behind. To avoid polluting the system with these dangling mounted disk
images,
implement [the `Drop`
trait](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/trait.Drop.html) for the
`MacOSUnmounter` struct. This will ensure that the disk image
is unmounted when the `install_release_macos` function exits regardless
of its result.
## How to test this locally
Unfortunately, I was a bit too lazy to find a smarter way to test this,
so I simply commented out a bunch of lines to emulate the auto-update
process. To replicate the linked issue (#10782), you can apply the
attached patch. Build the Zed binary and run it. The auto-update should
fail, leaving the dangling mounted disk image in the system:
```shell
>diskutil list
/dev/disk5 (synthesized):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: APFS Container Scheme - +220.6 MB disk5
Physical Store disk4s1
1: APFS Volume Zed 190.6 MB disk5s1
```
Run the Zed binary again to create another mounted disk image:
```shell
>diskutil list
/dev/disk5 (synthesized):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: APFS Container Scheme - +220.6 MB disk5
Physical Store disk4s1
1: APFS Volume Zed 190.6 MB disk5s1
/dev/disk7 (synthesized):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: APFS Container Scheme - +220.6 MB disk7
Physical Store disk6s1
1: APFS Volume Zed 190.6 MB disk7s1
```
[simulate_zed_autoupdate.patch](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/16787955/simulate_zed_autoupdate.patch)
Please let me know if the fix is good; otherwise, I am happy to
implement it differently. Thanks!
Release Notes:
- Fixed#10782
* Fixed mis-named macOS remote server archives in actions and packaging
scripts
* Fixed an issue with the ask pass script on linux
