Release Notes - Zync v2.33.9

Release date: 2026-09-30

What's New

Zync v2.33.9 makes installed themes dependable and gives external editor providers a cleaner, more consistent editing experience. Zedit now shares Zync's compact editor controls, while provider assets and lifecycle handling are safer in production builds.

Highlights:

  • Themes that work after installation: Built-in plugin styles now follow the selected Zync theme in packaged builds, matching development behavior.
  • A better Zedit experience: Zedit uses Zync's compact editor toolbar for shortcuts, save state, go to line, and find/replace.
  • Reliable save feedback: Queued saves and provider reloads no longer leave the toolbar stuck or let an older save overwrite newer UI state.
  • Faster editor startup: Package scanning and verification run away from the desktop UI thread.
  • Safer provider lifecycle: Editor assets stay isolated, and stale document runtimes are released when the main webview reloads or closes.

Compare: v2.33.8...v2.33.9

See It in Action

Changed

  • Editor provider startup: Package scanning, integrity verification, and editor asset preparation now run on a blocking worker instead of delaying the desktop UI thread. (dc40757)
  • Shared editor toolbar: External editors receive the same compact shortcuts, save, go-to-line, find/replace, and close controls used across Zync. Successful saves use quiet inline status instead of repetitive notifications. (6704900)

Fixed

  • Packaged theme styling: Dynamically installed built-in theme styles now receive the release build's content-security nonce, so themes apply correctly after installing or updating Zync. (1bdd4a6)
  • Packaged editor assets: Manifest-declared editor CSS, JavaScript, fonts, and workers load through Zync's isolated plugin resource route while retaining permission and package-integrity checks. (dc40757)
  • Queued saves and reloads: A save becomes pending as soon as it enters the queue. Provider reloads reset stale progress safely, and an older request cannot clear or overwrite a newer editor's save state. (6704900)
  • Editor runtime cleanup: Document registrations and their isolated runtimes are released when the main webview reloads or is destroyed, even when browser-side cleanup cannot run. (6704900)

Feedback

Something broken, confusing, or missing after this update? We read every report.

Include your OS, Zync version (v2.33.9), and steps to reproduce. Remove secrets from logs and screenshots before sharing.

Quick Check After Upgrade

  1. Themes: Change the Zync theme and open a built-in plugin pane. Its colors and controls should match the selected theme in the installed app.
  2. Zedit: Install or update Zedit, open a file, and try Shortcuts, Save, Go to Line, and Find / Replace.
  3. Save state: Edit and save repeatedly. The toolbar should show saving immediately, return to saved after completion, and remain usable after reopening the editor.
  4. Provider assets: Confirm Zedit syntax colors, fonts, minimap, and search UI load correctly in the packaged app.
  5. Version: Settings → About shows v2.33.9.

Upgrade

Zync will update automatically on next launch (AppImage).
