February 2026 (2026-02) monthly summary for zed-industries/zed. This period focused on delivering high-impact features and reliability improvements that drive business value through more flexible prompting, robust evaluation tooling, and stable editing workflows. Key features delivered: - New prompt formats and prompt enhancements: implemented V0131GitMergeMarkersPrefix prompt format, SeedCoder prompt format, and a prompt prefill option to increase prompting flexibility and reduce manual edits. - Evaluation tooling and evalset preparation: added ep truncate-patch command to prepare commits evalset, introduced measurement of isolated whitespace change ratio, and lowered the default max_output_tokens for Ollama to improve safety and efficiency in evaluations. - Cursor position tracking: stored cursor position in global coordinates, improving accuracy of whitespace metrics and reliability of predictions when editing across buffers. - EP requests compression and efficiency: introduced compression of EP requests with benchmark results showing substantial savings (e.g., up to ~79% reduction with zstd/brotli configurations). - Expanded edit-history and prediction controls: separated accepted edit predictions in edit history, avoided running predictions for excerpts with special tokens, added metrics for inserted/deleted tokens, and encoded cursor position in predicted patches to improve edit fidelity. Major bugs fixed: - Repair and parsing improvements: fixed trailing newlines parsing, used programmatic scores as signals for repair, fixed parse-output for repaired outputs, and enhanced heuristic detection of wrong editable regions. - Editor and buffer reliability: fixed panic when merging events from different buffers and ensured predictions show correctly in new buffers. - Unicode and patching resilience: corrected Unicode boundary handling in prediction tokens and added heuristic support for patches in files without trailing newlines; fixed several edge-case parser issues in teacher prompts and eval parsing. - Stability under provider changes: addressed panic when switching to a non-store provider and other related edge cases in EP workflow. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Delivered a set of high-value capabilities that accelerate iteration on prompts, tighten evaluation quality, and stabilize multi-buffer editing workflows, enabling faster, cheaper, and more reliable product improvements. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Prompt engineering and format design; evaluation tooling and data pipelines; robust parsing and repair heuristics; patch-based editing; cursor-position encoding; tokenization improvements; and performance benchmarking for compression.
