#ZedEditor Download Zed and view the full changelog here:
zed.dev/releases/sta... We've relaxed restrictions around configuring breakpoints—add conditions and logs even before running the debugger.
The Git panel's fetch button now includes a `Pull (Rebase)` option. Use cautiously! Thanks Sathiyaraman-M!
Create and jump between different Git worktrees with the new `git: worktree` action in the command palette. Thanks AlvaroParker!
