Changelog

Markdown / image / PDF viewers in the workbench

• Opening a .md file now shows a live split view: the CodeMirror source (still fully editable and saveable) alongside a rendered Markdown preview.
• Opening an image (.png/.jpg/.jpeg/.gif/.svg/.webp) shows a dedicated viewer with zoom in/out/reset controls.
• Opening a .pdf embeds it via the browser's native PDF renderer (an installed Adobe Acrobat extension picks it up transparently, with no extra code needed).
• Added an fs/readBinary RPC, implemented identically in the daemon and in Zero Lite, so binary files can be read without being corrupted by the text-only fs/read path.
• Markdown preview output is sanitized (DOMPurify) before rendering.

Zero IDE (M8.5) polish

• Added a File > Open Folder... menu item for multi-window use.
• Fixed a main-thread dialog deadlock by making menu dialog callbacks non-blocking.
• Opening a second workspace now happens off the main thread.
• Sidecar startup now has a timeout instead of hanging indefinitely.
• Sidecar state is now keyed per window label (correctness fix for multi-window).

Process

• Added a standard release process: scripts/release.sh + docs/releasing.md.

Zero v0.8.0

Zero v0.8.0

M8 milestone: Zero IDE, a Tauri desktop wrap around the existing Zero daemon/web client. Version now aligned across all Zero products (CLI, VS Code extension, desktop app).

Downloads

• Zero IDE (macOS, Apple Silicon) - Zero_0.8.0_aarch64.dmg. Opens the workbench in a native window, with a bundled offline daemon (editor, terminal, chat, completions).
  Note: this build is ad-hoc signed only (no Apple Developer account yet), so macOS Gatekeeper will block the first launch as "unidentified developer." Right-click (or Control-click) the app in Finder and choose Open to bypass this once.
• Zero VS Code extension - zero-vscode-0.8.0.vsix. Install with:

  code --install-extension zero-vscode-0.8.0.vsix
  

What's new in M8

• Native "Open Folder" picker, remembered workspace on relaunch
• Bundled portable node runtime for the terminal (PTY)
• Inline file-tree create/rename/delete (replacing browser dialogs that don't work in Tauri's webview)
• Version now shown in the workbench status bar and the desktop window title

Auto-update, native menus, and cross-platform builds are follow-on milestones - see docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-17-m8-zero-ide-design.md.
