The log
What we've been shipping
Suzuri is early and moves fast. Everything below landed in the fork itself — upstream Zed keeps shipping underneath, and those improvements arrive here too.
October 28, 2026
Suzuri keeps its own settings, apart from Zed's
Changing a setting, theme, or extension in one app used to change it in the other; Suzuri now has its own folder, carries your existing Suzuri data over on first launch, and can import Zed's settings from the welcome page.

Suzuri opens on newer Linux systems
On distributions with recent graphics drivers no window ever appeared; it does now.

Selecting text in a PDF lands where you drag
Selection used to start a little below the cursor and drift further off the more you scrolled.

Math in table cells
Formulas in a table used to show as raw LaTeX; they now render in line with the text, and a tall inline formula like a matrix gets a row tall enough instead of painting over its neighbors.

The app icon looks right on Linux, Windows, and macOS 26
Linux showed a placeholder or a white square and the macOS Dock drew a white border; Suzuri's icon now shows cleanly everywhere.

Jump to a page in a PDF
The page number in the status bar is now a field — type a number and press Enter, or use Go to Page — and the scrollbar, which used to drift off screen and throw you to the last page, stays put.

Bold, italic, links, and a word count for notes
⌘B and ⌘I toggle formatting even when live preview hides the asterisks, the rest sit under Document → Format, and the status bar counts only the words a journal would.
4a668f2Suzuri Light and Suzuri Dark by default
A fresh install opened in Zed’s themes rather than the one on this site; now it matches, and the welcome page offers Suzuri first.

Notebooks ask which kernel to use
A notebook with no matching kernel used to start whatever Python environment the project had; now it waits on Select Kernel and asks when you run a cell.
14e695aExport notes to PDF, Word, HTML, LaTeX, and EPUB
Wikilinks, callouts, embedded notes, and citations come through intact, and PDFs need no TeX install — converted by Pandoc, under File or the new Document menu.

Cite straight from Zotero
⌘⌥C searches your project’s .bib and your running Zotero library, inserts the citation in the file’s own syntax, and a References heading fills itself in the note’s citation style.
075ba52Notebook kernels start, and find your files
A kernel could sit on “starting” forever and the sidebar’s run-all button did nothing; both work now, and relative paths like read_csv("train.csv") resolve next to the notebook.

Math renders sharp and stays inside the note
Formulas looked soft and washed out next to the prose, and a wide display formula spilled over the line numbers and off the right edge — both fixed.
6017051A PDF opens on its own
Opening one straight from Finder, with nothing else around it, showed “Binary files are not supported”; it now opens in the viewer, and the last page scrolls fully into view.

Jupyter notebooks: cells run on open, kernels shut down, charts fit
Running a cell while the kernel was still starting failed with a “Kernel Error”, closing a notebook left its Python process running, a wide chart was cut off on the right, and a project's new .venv was missing from the kernel picker — all fixed.

Auto-update
A new version now downloads in the background and offers “Restart to update”, where before Suzuri only opened the download page and left the rest to you.

Long link text no longer crashes the editor
A note with a link whose text had spaces and fell where a line wrapped could take Suzuri down before the window appeared.

PDFs open in remote projects
Opening a PDF in a project over SSH, Docker, or WSL failed with “No such file or directory” — the file now comes across from the remote machine and renders like a local one.

September 7, 2026
Click a link to follow it, click a checkbox to tick it
A plain click on a wikilink or markdown link in live preview opens the note, file, or URL it names, and clicking a task checkbox toggles it instead of showing you its markdown — put the cursor next to either and the source comes back to edit.

Open a project on a remote machine
Every release now ships the server binary Suzuri copies onto an SSH host, so editing over a remote connection works with the fork instead of only with Zed.
772c987
September 4, 2026
Suzuri runs on Linux
Releases now carry x86_64 and aarch64 Linux tarballs alongside the macOS and Windows builds, and the update notice points Linux users at the right download.

Citations that know your bibliography
Suzuri reads the .bib files in your vault, so typing @ offers your cite keys and hovering one shows the paper's title, authors, and year — a key that matches nothing gets underlined.
8283354Wide tables scroll instead of getting cut off
Columns now size to what is in them rather than sharing the width equally, and a table too wide for the pane scrolls in place instead of hiding its last columns for good.

PDF pages float on a grey canvas
White pages on a white background had no visible edges; they now sit as sheets on a grey desk, the way Word and Preview draw them, so page breaks and margins are easy to see.
ac3bd33Selecting and copying survive a recompile
After the PDF under a live preview recompiled, selecting text and copying could stop working until you reloaded — they don't anymore.
8e372fe
August 29, 2026
Drag an image to a new place in the note
Moving an image used to mean cutting and pasting its markdown by hand — now pick it up and drop it where you want it, with the landing spot highlighted as you drag.
d7feb03
August 28, 2026
Choose the LaTeX engine
The preview hardcoded one engine, so a paper whose style requires pdfTeX simply failed — you now pick pdflatex, xelatex, lualatex, latexmk, or your own command, and Suzuri offers to install a TeX Live that fetches whatever packages your document names.
29b8af8A recompiled PDF stops failing to parse
The viewer read the file while the compiler was still writing it and showed “Failed to parse PDF document” until you reopened the tab; it now waits for the file to look whole.

Obsidian callouts, embeds, and tags render in the preview
A block quote opening with [!warning] draws as a tinted card you can fold, ![[Some Note]] pulls that note's text in beside your own, and ==highlights==, #tags, and [^footnotes] stop showing their syntax.
15f5e5eSuzuri Light and Dark themes
Ported from VS Code's 2026 themes and tuned for the fork's own surfaces, so notebook cells and callouts sit clearly on the page.
dcab204Frontmatter is an editable properties table
The YAML or TOML block at the top of a note renders as a two-column card you edit in place — click a value to type, tick booleans, add a property — instead of raw text you have to keep well-formed yourself.
6fb0eb4Getting back to the raw markdown
A </> button beside the preview eye flips the whole buffer to source, and clicking a rendered heading, table, or image now reveals its markdown with the cursor where you clicked.

The PDF viewer stops leaking GPU memory
Every reload of a PDF leaked its old pages' GPU memory — live Typst and LaTeX previews hit it hardest, since each recompile rewrites the PDF. Fixed by David Turnbull, Suzuri's first outside contribution.
3406cd3The app calls itself Suzuri
The welcome and onboarding screens, the app menu, the About window, and the CLI's help text were all still saying Zed.

Images in the preview stay current
Overwriting an image with a new version — re-cropping a screenshot over its own name — kept showing the old bitmap until you renamed the file; it now reloads in place, and a widened image no longer paints over the text below it.

Jupyter notebooks open as notebooks
Zed builds a notebook editor but ships it switched off, so .ipynb files opened as plain JSON — and once switched on, saving silently destroyed every cell output. Both are fixed: open, run, and save a notebook.
8e83965The Copy button in code blocks copies
Clicking it used to just drop the block into edit mode without touching the clipboard.

Suzuri tells you when a new release is out
A notification links straight to the download for your OS — installed builds had no way to hear about updates before.

Math renders in markdown buffers
Inline $…$ and display $$…$$ LaTeX draw as math while you write — it never rendered before, it just sat there as source — with RaTeX doing the typesetting.

Windows builds actually finish
Long paths are enabled before the build and partial builds are cached, so the Windows installer stops timing out.

macOS builds are signed and notarized
Open the DMG and drag Suzuri to Applications — no Gatekeeper detour.

Typst and LaTeX live preview
Write in one pane, watch the PDF update in the other a second after you stop typing. Compilers install themselves the first time you need them.
4c0c39bA native PDF viewer
Continuous scroll, zoom, and real text selection, built on hayro. It reloads in place when the file changes on disk.
36dcb3cWikilinks, backlinks, and link diagnostics
markdown-oxide ships as a built-in language server, so [[links]] complete, follow, and report themselves when broken — no extension to install.
9a6432fCitations and image embeds render inline
Pandoc-style citation keys and Obsidian ![[embeds]] display as chips and images in the buffer.

Editable tables
Markdown tables render as tables and stay editable in place, Obsidian-style.

Obsidian-style markdown live preview
The first commit of the fork: markdown renders in the buffer itself and reveals its source when your cursor touches it.
