Zed v1.16.2 — filesystem sandbox escape fix, GitHub Copilot Chat on GitHub Enterprise Cloud
Zed
Zed stable release on Aug 24 (v1.16.2). Fixes a potential filesystem sandbox escape when running extensions (#63147); fixes GitHub Copilot Chat authentication and API routing for GitHub Enterprise Cloud (#63142); fixes project-level language server settings being ignored by extensions built with extension API versions up to v0.1.0 (#63083); fixes Flatpak CLI launches opening unrelated files due to an argument-construction bug (#62959). Pre-release v1.17.0-pre (Aug 19) added tabular CSV/TSV/PSV/SSV previews, new git blame/stash actions, and lower memory on large files.
Why it matters
The sandbox-escape fix is a security note worth flagging — anyone running untrusted extensions on prior 1.16.x should upgrade. The GHE Copilot Chat routing fix unblocks enterprise users who were hitting auth failures on Zed.
