JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA Blog

Since IntelliJ IDEA and all JetBrains products use YouTrack for issue tracking, we thought you’d be interested to know that a new major version of YouTrack has just been released.

What’s different about YouTrack 2.0? Most importantly, with this new version, you can easily migrate issues from your current bug tracker using REST API, create unlimited custom attributes, and use per-issue permissions for fine-grained security. However, this is just a fraction of what the new version brings: to learn more about new features and improvements, visit What’s New.

At the same time, YouTrack remains an intelligent, keyboard-centric, and easy-to-use issue tracker, packing the majority of its functionality in just two controls: a search box and command window.

All in all, if you’re using other bug and issue trackers, it’s probably just the right time to reconsider and take a look at YouTrack more closely, specifically considering that YouTrack 2.0 adds a new Starter Edition, the best fit for small teams priced at only $111! Professional Edition and Enterprise Edition are currently worth $225 and $900, respectively.

You can download YouTrack 2.0, instantly deploy it, and enjoy a free 60-day evaluation. If you’re already using YouTrack, you’re entitled to a free upgrade to YouTrack 2.0: just use your existing license key.

You can bond your JIRA account and IntelliJ IDEA together via Project Settings dialog, Tasks, Servers panel, then activate a task via Tasks, Activate Task menu.

It cleans your workspace, creates a change list, and optionally loads a stacktrace into IntelliJ IDEA (if there is an exception description in that task).

IntelliJ IDEA also gives you a convenient way of switching between your tasks and contexts.

This feature is available in the upcoming first Maia EAP at www.intellij.net/eap
