JetBrains IDEs, with new 2024.3 edition releases, now provide a logical code structure view alongside the familiar physical code structure view in the Structure tool window. The updated IDEs also streamline debugging for Kubernetes applications and provide cluster-wide Kubernetes log access with streaming and pattern matching.
JetBrains announced the 2024.3 releases on November 12. The updated versions of the IDEs will be available soon through JetBrains’ website and Toolbox App, the company said.
The JetBrains IDEs covered by the release include IntelliJ IDEA ( Java and Kotlin), PyCharm (Python), WebStorm (JavaScript and TypeScript), GoLand (Go), and RubyMine (Ruby). Also released was JetBrains AI Assistant 2024.3, which now allows users to choose between between Google Gemini, OpenAI, or local large language models for code chat. This update also brings advanced code completion for all major programming languages, JetBrains said.
Specific JetBrains 2024.3 updates include the following:
- IntelliJ IDEA lets developers work more efficiently with updates, offering capabilities such as better handling of aliases in the data flow engine for Java and Kotlin. Also featured is a code formatter to preserve blank lines for clearer code.
