Zed Industries published a Windows nightly beta build of its Rust-based code editor, previously limited to macOS and Linux, delivering a pre-built release for x86-64 Windows users. The beta was shared via the Zed community Discord channel and testers are being invited in waves, with a planned general release in October. Windows accounts for 49.5 percent of primary development environments, underlining the significance of the release. Zed's roadmap targets a 1.0 release in Spring 2026 with improved Rust, Python, and web language support, notebook features, and multi-agent collaboration.
