Software Update: IntelliJ Idea 2019.1.1

JetBrains releases several development environments such as CLion targeting C and C++, DataGrip targeting sql, PhpStorm targeting PHP and IntelliJ Idea targeting Java. IntelliJ Idea offers smart code completion, deep static analysis, intelligent refactorings, debugger and a test runner, and can also handle Kotlin, Groovy, Coffee and Actionscript. For an overview of the possibilities, we refer to this page. IntelliJ Idea is available in two flavors, a licensed Ultimate flavor with more functionality and a free open source Community flavor. The Ultimate flavor will require payment for business and home use, but if the software is used for education or non-commercial open source projects, the license is free. JetBrains has released IntelliJ Idea 2019.1.1 with the following announcement:

IntelliJ IDEA 2019.1.1 is Here!

Today we are ready to give you the first bug-fix update for v2019.1. Download IntelliJ IDEA 2019.1.1 from the website or update using the Toolbox App. Out of dozens of important fixes this update delivers, here are the most important ones:

• Performance issues: the IDE doesn’t freeze on Auto-import (IDEA-206649) and we’ve fixed the issue that was causing very high memory usage on relatively small projects (IDEA-210047).
• Regressions fixed: The ‘Start Failed’ dialog doesn’t appear on closing the import settings dialog, and VCS refreshes don’t take very long with Mercurial anymore: IDEA-209262.
• Updating plugins in an offline environment now works with the new marketplace and custom plugin repository: IDEA-205032.
• No confirmation dialog is shown when you try to close a Terminal without running processes: IDEA-205690.
• It’s now possible to switch back from the Terminal tool window to the editor by pressing Esc: IDEA-116221.
• In the Run Configuration dialog, you can paste just the name or just the value of an Environment Variable: IDEA-206952.
• The IDE now correctly creates a branch when you open a task with the ‘create branch’ option enabled: IDEA-205194.
• It’s now possible to type characters that require AltGr (IntelliJ IDEA with JBR11): IDEA-209426.
• For those using the IdeaVim plugin, the Esc key in insert mode closes the autocomplete popup and exits the insert mode: IDEA-209779.
• The bundled Kotlin plugin was updated to v1.3.21-release-IJ2019.1-3, with the following fixes integrated: KT-30117, KT-29427, KT-30137, and KT-9618.

We have also updated both JetBrains Runtime 8 and JetBrains Runtime 11.
