AI

• Linux: Added ability to paste images into the Assistant Panel to include them as context on Linux Wayland (#17671; thanks maan2003).

Languages

• Improved syntax highlighting for C++ (#18016; thanks VacheDesNeiges).
• Added syntax highlighting inside heredoc strings in PHP (#18368; thanks sylbru).

Bug Fixes

• Assistant: Changed the assistant model to be less likely to incorporate diagnostic information when not requested to fix any issues (#18596; thanks rowillia).
• Assistant: Fixed copy/cut/paste not working in the assistant panel when selection was empty (#18403).
• Fixed Reveal in Finder/File Manager, Copy Path, Copy Relative Path and Copy file location actions not working with multibuffers (#18626).
• Fixed the behavior of {"terminal": {"blinking": "[on|off|terminal_controlled]"} to work correctly and to work correctly when custom cursor_shape is set (#18538).
  • terminal.cursor_shape only controls the default shape of the terminal, not the blinking.
  • terminal.blinking = on means that it's always blinking, regardless of what terminal programs want
  • terminal.blinking = off means that it's never blinking, regardless of what terminal programs want
  • terminal.blinking = terminal_controlled (default) means that it's blinking depending on what terminal programs want. when a terminal program resets the cursor to default, it sets it back to terminal.cursor_shape if that is set.
• Fixed the environment not loading if direnv mode is set to direct and .envrc is not allowed (#18473; thanks WeetHet).
• Fixed task indicators not showing up at the starts of folds (#18526).
• Fixed a bug where go to definition would scroll the editor even when the definition was already within the viewport (#18441; thanks osa1).
• Fixed an bug where some tooltips would not show up (#18435).
• Fixed low_speed_timeout_in_seconds for Ollama (#18417).
• Fixed a slight gutter flicker when going over 999 lines (#18021; thanks galenelias).
• Fixed use_on_type_format setting not working when defined inside "languages" in the settings. This change will now change the default behavior for C, C++, and Markdown, by turning language server's OnTypeFormatting completions off by default (#18387).
• Fixed the cursor shape in the editor not changing back to default when {"cursor_shape": "..."} setting is removed. This does not apply to Vim mode (#18379).
• Fixed sending alt-enter in terminal (#18363).
• Fixed overriding the path of a language server binary for all language servers. {"lsp":{"<lsp-name>":{"binary":{"path": "_"}}}} will now work for all language servers including those defined by extensions (#18318).
• Removed confusing soft wrap option behavior (#18412).
• Removed automatic reinstallation of language servers (#18318). (It mostly didn't work)
• SSH Remote: Fixed cmd-O to correctly open files on the remote host (#18308).
• Linux: Fixed some cases where Linux X11 mouse scrolling didn't work at all (#18484; thanks mgsloan).
• Linux: Fixed handling of switching between Linux X11 devices used for scrolling (#18484; thanks mgsloan).

• Linux: Fixed a regression with middle-click pasting (#18503; thanks mycroft).
• Linux: Fixed blur region on Plasma/Wayland (#18465; thanks jansol).
• Vim: Fixed cursor position after :{range}yank (#18424).
• Vim: Fixed register selection in visual yank (#18418).

Breaking Changes and Notices

• Protocol Buffers language support: Renamed "proto" language to "Proto". This is a breaking change and requires users adjust their settings accordingly from proto to Proto under file_types and languages (#18559).
• To disable finding lsp adapters in your path, you must now specify {"lsp":{"<lsp-name>":{"binary":{"ignore_system_version": true}}}} (#18318). Previously this was {"lsp":{"<lsp-name>":{"binary":{"path_lookup": false}}}}. Note that this setting still does not apply to extensions.
