Most remarkable features for me in this release:
- kotlin notebook
- you can now partially display intellij's classic main menu, which is otherwise hidden under the hambnurger button. This will certainly help people find some feartures. But I've gotten used to the hidden menu by now, and I like my main options like projects drop down to be at the same place all the time, so I don't think I will use this.
- Uses OS default file browser, rahter than IntelliJ's. It is annoying however that it is always opening in my home diretory, rather than remembering the same location as IntelliJ's. Also, in IntelliJ's browser, it was easier to go to the map of another project bu selecting that project and navigating from there.
I switched back to IntelliJ's file browser using: Settings | Advanced Settings | Use native file chooser dialog in Windows/macOS. It just started to refresh a bit faster these last relases, so this is the best option for me. - Automatic creation of Sring Data repositories
- Better WSL support
- Gradle
- Easier setting of JDK for Gradle, hopefully getting rid of daemon warnings that it is using a different JVM
- Automatic download of library sources upon source code access
- Preconfiguration of Qodana security analysis
