This week's release includes smaller Zed binaries across macOS, Windows, and Linux, the ability to apply inlay hint text edits by double-clicking, context compaction and session notices for external agents, and new GPT-6 Astra, Claude Fable 5.1, and Claude Opus 5.5 models on Amazon Bedrock.
## Features
### AI
- Added GPT-6 Astra, Claude Fable 5.1, and Claude Opus 5.5 to the Amazon Bedrock provider. ([#64201](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/64201), [#64685](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/64685); thanks [IbrahimKhan12](https://github.com/IbrahimKhan12) and [alexandergunnarson](https://github.com/alexandergunnarson))
- Enabled session notices and context compaction for external agents using ACP. ([#65414](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/65414))
### Git
- Improved the branch picker to make clear that deleting a remote-tracking branch only removes the local ref, and removed the force delete option for remote-tracking branches, since it had no effect. ([#61793](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/61793); thanks [lld4n](https://github.com/lld4n))
### Languages
- Added support for applying inlay hint text edits by double-clicking a hint, or by running `editor: accept inlay hint` with the cursor at the hint. ([#64789](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/64789))
- Added HTML syntax highlighting for `svg`, `mathml` and `raw` tagged templates, and CSS syntax highlighting for template literals in `css({ ... })` objects, in JavaScript and TypeScript. ([#65688](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/65688))
### Remote Development
- Improved SSH remote connection time by detecting the remote shell, platform, and OS version in one command instead of three, which helps most when connecting from Windows. ([#65065](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/65065); thanks [Huliiiiii](https://github.com/Huliiiiii))
### Other
- Added automatic unfolding of folded sections when jumping to a location via go to line, go to definition/declaration/implementation/type definition, symbol navigation, the outline and project symbol pickers, multibuffer location results, and navigation history. ([#65217](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/65217); thanks [henne90gen](https://github.com/henne90gen))
- Added an "Open SVG Preview" option to the Project Panel's context menu for SVG files. ([#65539](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/65539); thanks [skmanoj322](https://github.com/skmanoj322))
- Added the `tab_switcher.show_file_preview` setting, which controls whether files are previewed in the editor while cycling through the tab switcher (defaults to `true`). ([#56235](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/56235); thanks [sebascadpi](https://github.com/sebascadpi))
- Improved the tab switcher so it no longer changes selection on mouse hover and no longer delays showing its popover; you can still click entries to switch tabs. ([#65546](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/65546))
- Improved startup time when restoring hundreds of editor selections. ([#65171](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/65171))
- Improved startup time when using custom icon themes. ([#65173](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/65173))
- Reduced Zed's binary size by about 33% on macOS, 28% on Windows, and 7% on Linux. ([#65168](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/65168))
