This PR updates the Linux install script to support installing a specific version of Zed via the ZED_VERSION environment variable. - If ZED_VERSION is set, that version will be downloaded. - If ZED_VERSION is not set, the script defaults to the latest stable version, preserving existing behavior. - Works for both Linux and macOS installs. - Maintains compatibility with ZED_CHANNEL for preview builds. This enhancement allows users to: - Pin a specific Zed version for reproducible setups or CI workflows. - Easily install older or known-good versions without manually downloading release assets. Usage examples: - Install latest stable (default): curl -f https://zed.dev/install.sh | sh - Install specific version: curl -f https://zed.dev/install.sh | ZED_VERSION=0.216.0 sh Use this — it’s correct, concise, and clearly user-facing: Release Notes * **Added:** Support for installing a specific Zed version via the `ZED_VERSION` environment variable in the install script (defaults to `latest` when unset).
