Today we’re publishing the Release Candidate for the next bugfix update of IntelliJ IDEA, version 10.5.2. The release notes since the previous EAP build include a couple of significant performance fixes and a number of other bugfixes.
If you run into any problems when using this build, please report them to our issue tracker.
A new EAP build of IntelliJ IDEA 10.5.2 is available now. The most important thing to note about this build is that we’ve finally tracked down the cause of the problem causing stale error markers to remain in the editor, and we hope that it has now been fixed. So please test and report.
You can find the list of other fixes in the release notes.
The StarTeam plugin which was available in earlier IntelliJ releases was removed from the IntelliJ IDEA 10 release, primarily due to our lack of resources required to maintain the plugin and ensure its compatibility with the latest versions of the StarTeam SDK. Now we’re making the source code of the plugin available to the community, so that anyone still using StarTeam and interested in improving the plugin can now do so.
You can find the code of the plugin at our new home on GitHub. The code is available under the Apache 2 license.
We’ve just released a new EAP build of IntelliJ IDEA 10, which is the Release Candidate for the 10.0.3 bugfix update. You can download the new EAP build or check the release notes on the IntelliJ IDEA EAP page.
Although the work on IntelliJ IDEA 10.5 goes on at full speed, we continue our work on fixing customer reported issues in IntelliJ IDEA 10 as well. Today we’re releasing the latest portion of bugfixes as the first Early Access Preview build for IntelliJ IDEA 10.0.3.

Last Friday, during the Open Day in our new Munich Office, we unveiled the next upcoming release of IntelliJ IDEA, version 10.5. IntelliJ IDEA 10.5 will be released in Spring of 2011, and will be a free upgrade for existing users of IntelliJ IDEA 10.
The major focus of the new release is going to be Java 7 support. All of the new language features will be fully supported across the product, with code completion, code inspections, quickfixes and so on.
Besides that, we’re working on a number of new features and incremental improvements in all areas of the product, including:
Of course, we’re also working on bugfixes, usability and performance improvements. In particular, in this release we’ve focused on improving startup performance, so you can expect the new version of IntelliJ IDEA to open and load your projects faster.
The Early Access Preview program for IntelliJ IDEA 10.5 will start in a few weeks. And if you can’t wait to try IntelliJ IDEA on your Java 7 code today, you’re welcome to check out the source code of IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition and build the new version yourself.
We’ve just released a new EAP build for IntelliJ IDEA 10.0.2 which we consider to be the release candidate for the forthcoming update. The release notes list is fairly small this time, consisting mostly of bugfixes. The build is available for download on the IntelliJ IDEA 10.0.2 EAP page.
As the release of IntelliJ IDEA 10.0.2 approaches, we’re speeding up the release cycle of EAP builds. This time, we’ve made yet another attempt to change the Mac OS application stub so that it’s compatible with MacOS X 10.5 and 10.6. Note that IntelliJ IDEA now runs in 64-bit mode under Mac OS X. On first startup, it prompts you whether you’d like to stay in 64-bit mode or switch to 32-bit for lower memory usage.
The build is available for the download on the IntelliJ IDEA 10.0.2 EAP page. You can also review the complete release notes.
This EAP contains two major fixes that are important enough to warrant a release slightly ahead of the weekly schedule. First of all, we’ve tracked down and fixed a very annoying problem which could cause lost characters when typing in the editor in a Subversion-managed project. Second, we’ve bundled a new application stub for the MacOS X distribution, which should be compatible both with MacOS X 10.5 and the latest Java updates for MacOS X 10.6.
Also, this EAP has preliminary support for storing Subversion credentials in Keychain under MacOS X; we’re still testing these changes, and you’re welcome to report your experience as well.
The build is available for the download on the IntelliJ IDEA 10.0.2 EAP page. You can also review the complete release notes.
Today’s Friday, which means that today’s the time to release a new EAP build of IntelliJ IDEA 10.0.2. The release notes this time include a couple of minor new features, such as new inspections, a new option for folding multiple end-of-line comments in Java code, JavaDoc formatter improvements and more.
The build is available for the download on the IntelliJ IDEA 10.0.2 EAP page.
