JetBrains announced the new 2024.2 release of its PyCharm IDE just a few days after the release of IntelliJ IDEA.
The new release introduces significant improvements to the AI Assistant. It enhances cloud-based code completion with faster and more accurate suggestions, and features better UX including syntax highlighting for suggested code, and option to accept suggestions incrementally.
The AI now uses the latest GTP-4o model, supports chat references and semantic search. It features AI integration in the Terminal tool window, and AI-assisted VCS conflict resolution.
PyCharm IDE 2020.1 was released a day ago as the first major release in 2020. The new version features interactive rebasing, smarter debugging, and JetBrains Mono font.
Interactive Rebasing: Commits can get messy, which is why you need to be able to rebase your branch. Now, PyCharm allows you to do so visually and with unprecedented ease.
Smarter Debugging: PyCharm’s debugger now makes it easy to see what’s happening in the middle of a complex statement. When stepping in, the debugger will ask you exactly what part of the statement you want to investigate further.
JetBrains Mono: PyCharm helps you read your code by navigating your project effectively, and now also by presenting your code in a font designed specifically for it.
Django Template Imports: PyCharm Professional Edition makes life easy for web developers by offering code completion (and debugging) in Django templates. We’ve made a couple improvements on this front: auto import for custom tags and better completion.
