This week we’re releasing a new Early Access Preview build for IntelliJ IDEA 11.0.2, which is also the Release Candidate for the new version. Besides the usual amount of bugfixes, a noteworthy change is support for new versions of Google Chrome in the JavaScript debugger plugin.

You can download IntelliJ IDEA 11.0.2 Release Candidate from the EAP page.

Today we’ve published the first Early Access Preview build for the next bugfix update of IntelliJ IDEA 11. The main highlights include:

• Perforce integration uses ‘p4 move’ command for moves and renames when available;
• Spring integration performance improvements;
• Other bugfixes listed in the release notes.

You can download the new build from the EAP page.

At JetBrains we not only bring you new powerful features that make your life better, but also take care to polish the good old stuff to perfection.

What could be a better way for the IntelliJ IDEA team to conclude the year 2011 than to release a bugfix update? And that’s exactly what we’re doing.

Happy New Year, and see you again in 2012!

When working with big projects we always come back to 10-20 items/files where we do the most of our work.

IntelliJ IDEA helps you collecting all these items in one place — ‘Favorites’. It’s easy to add a file, a class or a method to the Favorites by simply pressing Alt+Shift+F. You can also drag and drop items to the Favorites.

And now with ‘Favorites’ being a separate tool-window, just press Alt+2 (or Cmd+2) whenever you need to access one of your precious items again.
