In this build we’ve fixed many annoying issues reported by our users with IntelliJ IDEA 10.5, see the list of changes in the release notes and download the new build from the IntelliJ IDEA EAP page. Do you know anything we’ve missed?
It is done! IntelliJ IDEA 10.5 is available for download from jetbrains.com web site.
If you’ve been following this blog you more or less know what’s been keeping us busy and what you get in IntelliJ IDEA 10.5.
What you did not know before is that IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate gets a price drop for new licenses and for personal license upgrades. (you do know, our upgrade policy allows upgrades from 2-3-year old versions too, right?). See the details at our Buy & Upgrade page.
The key features of IntelliJ IDEA 10.5 update include:
Check the ‘What’s new in IntelliJ IDEA’ page to learn some more and to download your edition of choice.
And of course v.10.5 is a free update for everyone with version 10 license and for everyone using the free Community edition! 
Develop with pleasure!

If you’ve already launched IntelliJ IDEA 10.5 you probably noticed this “green notification” asking your permission to send information to JetBrains about your IntelliJ IDEA project configuration (which frameworks are used and which are not) and feature usage statistics (e.g. how often extract method refactoring is used).
We just want to say that this information is VERY important for us and will help us concentrate our efforts exactly on the tools and technologies that you really use.
Analyzing your “productivity” statistics (Help | Productivity Guide) can help us discovering some useful but rarely used actions and refactorings and publish more posts and tutorials about them.
If you’ve originally disabled this feature, we kindly ask you to think again and, if you change your mind, you can switch it ON in IDE Settings | Usage Statistics section.
All the data sent to JetBrains is anonymous and does not contain any personal information.
Thanks for all the stats!

We’re working day and night to bring you more goodies in IntelliJ IDEA 10.5. Here are just a few more of them.
Introduce Variable (Field, Constant) refactoring now has a type chooser and makes it easier to work with untyped array elements (among other things):
Yes! The sunny Spring has finally come to St.Petersburg too. However, it’s not that “Spring” we want to talk now…
We realize that many of you use the Spring framework in your every day work. So, many should be interested in the new Spring-related features that can be found in the upcoming IntelliJ IDEA 10.5 release.
1. Better navigation between xml configs and annotated stereotype components
2. Advanced usage search for @Autowired beans
3. More inspections for your configs, for instance, deprecated classes and members highlighting.
4. More powerful placeholder support. All spring model inspections get and analyze placeholder values before highlighting.
5. More clear Bean Dependencies Graph view. For instance, it obtains beans and dependencies from custom namespaces. Check out this spring integration schemas example.
There are also smaller changes here and there…
Download IntelliJ IDEA 10.5 RC to try it and enjoy the improved Spring framework support.
Recently, we’ve introduced a new feature that should make it MUCH easier to debug your Android applications. Now, you can attach IntelliJ IDEA debugger to any process running on an Android device or in the emulator, which is related to the source code of your project.
Just click “Attach debugger to Android process” toolbar button and you’ll see the list of processes grouped by device they are running on:
Note: to be shown in the list above the name of the process should be specified in AndroidManifest.xml as a “package” or “process” XML attribute.
The feature is, of course, available in the IntelliJ IDEA 10.5 Release Candidate. So, you are welcome to try and let us know what you think.
5 months of development with almost 2 months of Early Access for IntelliJ IDEA 10.5 are coming to an end and we’re on the finish line now.
Please welcome IntelliJ IDEA 10.5 Release Candidate.
We’ve been blogging about the changes and additions in this version and we will continue as some things are still not unveiled. But it is clear already that the release is a significant step for both Ultimate and Community editions of IntelliJ IDEA with such features as:
Of course, with a Release Candidate we are hoping to hear your feedback before we announce a general availability release.
Enough words, download IntelliJ IDEA 10.5 RC from jetbrains.com.
