Changelog

Every release, newest first.

v0.1.0minor2026-08-05— First public release

Added

• Syntax highlighting for 17 languages — full tree-sitter AST parse, grammars statically compiled in, highlight queries from nvim-treesitter
• Precompiled highlight queries: ~5ms startup for every language, no per-language warmup
• Zed JSON theme support — backgrounds, line numbers, gutter, bold and italic all theme-controlled; #rrggbbaa alpha colors composited against the editor background at load time
• Two zero-cost built-in themes: UtilityDark (default) and UtilityBright, toggled with --dark / --light
• --theme, --theme-dir (point it at ~/.config/zed/themes and use what you already have), --list-themes
• --set-default-theme — save any theme as your default; stored precomputed, so it loads as fast as the built-ins
• Language auto-detection from extension, filename, and shebang; --language to force one; --list-languages
• stdin highlighting: cat file | dog -l swift
• Auto-paging through less -R with --paging, -P/--no-pager, and -p/-pp plain modes
• --color auto/always/never, honoring NO_COLOR and FORCE_COLOR
• --wrap and --terminal-width for previewer panes
• Shell completion generator for bash, zsh, and fish (--generate-completion-script)
• --woof — browse language snippets through your current theme via fzf
• Binaries for macOS (Apple silicon + Intel) and Linux (x86_64 + arm64)

Known limitations

• Single file at a time (multi-file planned)
• No git-diff gutter, no Windows
• --range, --header, and --no-line-numbers are stubs
• $PAGER not honored — pager is hardcoded to less -R
