JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Blog

Just a quick heads-up: we’ve published an updated version of the Python plugin for Intellij IDEA X (it requires the build 96.974 released today). The plugin includes all the latest Python support features which were previously available only in PyCharm EAP and beta builds (see the PyCharm blog for more details on the new functionality).

You can install the plugin as usual, via Settings | Plugins or from the Python plugin Web page.

The summer is hot not only because of the sun. Today we have even 3 breaking news to share:

1. IntelliJ IDEA 9.0.3 is available with fixes for many reported issues and some improvements, namely:

• New UI for merging Subversion branches
• New Password Safe tool for encrypted storing of passwords for VCS, proxy server etc.
• Initial support for HTML 5
• Support for Grails 1.3.x
• Improved Flex debugger

BTW, if you’re doing Flex, make sure to watch the IntelliJ IDEA screencasts by John Lindquist, about the debugger, refactorings and other stuff IntelliJ IDEA provides for Flex.

2. TeamCity 5.1.3 is out with some compatibility and stability fixes.

3. And the last big piece of news for today is PyCharm Beta release. JetBrains PyCharm is the new lightweight IDE for Python with the best available support for Django and Google App Engine. During the Beta we are giving away 50% discount coupons for PyCharm 1.0. So, check it out!
Needless to say, we are still going to continue to develop and release the Python plugin for IntelliJ IDEA, which will remain free for all users of IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate.

Develop with pleasure!

There are many great programming languages. And today we often pick one that fits best for a particular task. IntelliJ IDEA is a great IDE for polyglot programming offering out-of the box support for many languages plus a variety of language plugins.

Last year we’ve started creating language-specific IDEs such RubyMine for Ruby/Rails and Web IDE for HTML, JavaScript and PHP. Recently we’ve made available public preview of a new specialized IDE built on the IntelliJ platform — JetBrains PyCharm.

PyCharm is the environment for programming using Python and for web-development with Django framework.

Obviously, JetBrains PyCharm inherits all the functionality of the latest IntelliJ IDEA 9.0 for editing HTML, CSS, JavaScript, XML, working with VCS and more.

PyCharm 1.0 will be available later this year.

Download Public preview of PyCharm now to try it.
