v1.17.2 (Aug 26) adds tabular previews for CSV/TSV/PSV/SSV files, new Git blame and stashing actions, lower memory on large files, Gemini 3.7 Flash in Google AI models, and a new ask_user tool for the Agent. v1.18.0-pre refreshes Markdown preview, adds inline debugger values for C/C++, persists File Finder history across workspace sessions, GPT-5.6 1M-token context on Amazon Bedrock, and Grok 4.5/4.6 in xAI.

Why it matters

ask_user fills a real agent loop gap — letting the in-editor agent explicitly request clarification rather than guessing; tabular previews extend Zed's file-handling parity with VS Code.

Importance: 2/5
