As planned, today we have published the Release Candidate build for IntelliJ IDEA 11.1. You can download the new build from the EAP page or use “Check for updates” to update from within the IDE. The release notes for the new build include mostly bugfixes, along with a number of performance improvements and small functionality enhancements. One thing worth noting is that the “Highlight usages of element at caret” option, which has been available in the product for a while, is now enabled by default.
Please give the new build a try, and let us know about any problems so that we could fix them in the final release!

Probably the last EAP build (before RC) of IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 is available for download.
New settings are added to Groovy Colors & Fonts settings to highlight local variables, parameters, reassigned local variables, reassigned parameters and method declarations in the editor.

This build includes a notable enhancement in JavaScript code completion: the variants are now ordered by “inheritance”. Also worth noting is that editing large CSS files should be significantly better now.
Check the other changes in the release notes.
Your feedback is very important at this point.

In the latest IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 EAP we’ve added 2 new inspections that warn you about unknown attributes and tags in Android XML resource files and AndroidManifest.xml:

IntelliJ IDEA can validate both system attributes and local ones defined in attrs.xml file in your project. Of course, you can disable or tune these inspections according to your needs in the IDE settings.

IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 will bring several changes with regard to VCS support and one of them is a number of enhancements in Perforce integration.
1. Handling Move
We used to handle rename/move operations using integrate. This was not quite convenient: for example, it made viewing history more difficult in external Perforce clients. Now that Perforce has a dedicated move command, we use it when possible. We hope this will save you some nerves and time.
2. Faster Changes Update
Another enhancement relates to Changes view refresh performance. In some cases refresh action took unfairly more time than necessary. Now it should be quicker.
3. Empty Changelists
And at last one more tricky improvement which may make your work with Perforce more transparent. After some operations a changelist might hover in pending state as empty but not visible in the IDE. Now IntelliJ IDEA does not hide such changelists to let you delete them. This also is quite useful since it keeps you from accumulation of empty changelists in Perforce.
All these changes are already available in the latest IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 EAP build.
Please let us know if you have any questions or ideas here or in our bug tracker.

As you may know, there are different versions of the JavaScript language. Each JavaScript engine implementation adds some nice features that others don’t have. To make sure that you only use features suitable for targeted environments, choose the appropriate one in Settings | Javascript.
