There is a drawback to how we currently write our migrations:
For example:
1. Suppose we change one of our actions from a string to an array and
rename it, then roll out the preview build:
Before: `"ctrl-x": "editor::GoToPrevHunk"`
Latest: `"ctrl-x": ["editor::GoToPreviousHunk", { "center_cursor": true
}]`
To handle this, we wrote migration `A` to convert the string to an
array.
2. Now, suppose we decide to change it back to a string:
- User who hasn't migrated yet on Preview: `"ctrl-x":
"editor::GoToPrevHunk"`
- User who has migrated on Preview: `"ctrl-x":
["editor::GoToPreviousHunk", { "center_cursor": true }]`
- Latest: `"ctrl-x": "editor::GoToPreviousHunk"`
To handle this, we would need to remove migration `A` and add two more
migrations:
- **Migration B**: `"ctrl-x": "editor::GoToPrevHunk"` -> `"ctrl-x":
"editor::GoToPreviousHunk"`
- **Migration C**: `"ctrl-x": ["editor::GoToPreviousHunk", {
"center_cursor": true }]` -> `"ctrl-x": "editor::GoToPreviousHunk"`
Nice. But over time, this keeps increasing, making it impossible to
track outdated versions and handle all cases. Missing a case means users
stuck on `"ctrl-x": "editor::GoToPrevHunk"` will remain there and won't
be automatically migrated to the latest state.
---
To fix this, we introduce versioned migrations. Instead of removing
migration `A`, we simply write a new migration that takes the user to
the latest version—i.e., in this case, migration `C`.
- A user who hasn't migrated before will go through both migrations `A`
and `C` in order.
- A user who has already migrated will only go through `C`, since `A`
wouldn't change anything for them.
With incremental migrations, we only need to write migrations on top of
the latest state (big win!), as know internally they all would be on
latest state. You *must not* modify previous migrations. Always create
new ones instead.
This also serves as base for only prompting user to migrate, when
feature reaches stable. That way, preview and stable keymap and settings
are in sync.

Licensing
License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.
We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:
- Is it showing a
no license specifiederror for a crate you've created? If so, addpublish = falseunder[package]in your crate's Cargo.toml. - Is the error
failed to satisfy license requirementsfor a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to theacceptedarray inscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml. - Is
cargo-aboutunable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end ofscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
