JetBrains has announced the 2024.2 updates for its IDEs, the highlights being that the new UI is now the default and several improvements were made to AI Assistant.

The new UI features a more minimalist design, with the option to visually expand complex functionality as needed. It is now the default for all users, though fans of the old UI can still access it by installing its plugin.

AI Assistant was also updated and now features faster and smarter code completion across Java, Kotlin, and Python, according to JetBrains.

AI Assistant 2024.2 also adds support for GPT-4o, chat references for better context, AI-assisted VCS conflict resolution, in-terminal command generation, and customizable prompts for documentation and unit tests.

IntelliJ IDEA 2024.2 Ultimate introduced a feature allowing Spring Data JPA methods to run directly within the IDE, enabling developers to quickly verify queries about their repository. Additional updates include the HTTP Client’s ability to use the GraalJS execution engine and enhancements to the K2 mode, making IntelliJ IDEA more stable for Kotlin.

Various other JetBrains IDEs also received improvements. For instance, PyCharm saw enhancements to Jupyter notebooks and the addition of new AI cells, while PhpStorm now supports viewing log files from within the IDE, among other updates.
