Let's try to get acquainted with what awaits us in the new version of the product.

Subversion 1.7

Subversion (SVN) 1.7 support in my opinion is one of the most anticipated features in IntelliJ IDEA lately.

Working with branches in Git

Working with branches in Git has become more convenient. A new menu available for any project level now allows you to view a list of available remote and local branches, as well as perform simple operations on them, such as Checkout, Compare, Merge and Delete.



Now the status bar always shows the current branch of the file being edited.

Also appeared branch synchronization mode for projects with several Git repositories. If branches in different repositories have the same name, operations on them can be performed synchronously.

Android development

IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 introduces support for inspections based on Android Lint. In addition to the DDMS utility, the Hierarchy Viewer and Draw 9 Patch can now be launched directly from the environment.

Sync project in IDE with Gradle

In IntelliJ IDEA 11.1, it became possible to compare and synchronize project structures in the IDE and in Gradle, which can save you from headaches and save developers from mechanical work.

EcmaScript 6 support

EcmaScript 6 (Harmony) support has been added with the ability to preview code written in EcmaScript 6 compiled into plain JavaScript using Traceur .

Develop ActionScript and Flex

IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 has a flexible ability to manage configurations of ActionScript and Flex projects for various platforms (Adobe Flash Player, Adobe AIR, Adobe AIR Mobile). Now any Flash module can have several independent configurations, for which its own options for compiling, packaging, etc. are indicated.

Other

In addition to the changes described above, IntelliJ IDEA 11.1 contains a number of others:

• SQL support for Sybase and DB2 dialects
• Hibernate 4.0 support
• Speed ​​performance
• Interface update
