 # ZigBrains
 
 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [14.1.0]
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Debugging
+    - Huge rework for starting the various debugging runs, and more robust compilation error visualization instead of a tiny
+      popup
+
+- LSP
+  - No more notification popup about zig env not being detected when not in a zig projects.
+
+- Project
+  - ZLS should now be detected more reliably when creating new projects
+
 ## [14.0.1]
 
 ### Fixed
