Mar 17, 2010 EAP 94.583

Among numerous bug fixes and performance implovements this EAP build brings you:

  • PHP Editor got automatic injection of SQL language support into string literals matching to “SELECT .* FROM .*” expression. You can switch it off in Language Injection Settings. Expect additional features in this area i.e. RexExp injection, custom patterns.
  • Windows installers were updated to work properly in moder windows versions with UAC on and received many cosmetic fixes
  • New project from remote location wizard is now a single point to start working on an existing project. It supports all the common cases: wherever you have your files on remote or local server, or no web server at all, wizard will assist you best to set up your project properly.
  • FTP access & HTTP server settings were consolidated into single Deployment section. When no project is opened it shows and manages a list of web servers only. And with project opened it allows to configure paths mappings for each of the servers. Here you also specify a default server, that will be used in all the synch operations. There’s plenty of improvements still pending in this area

Mar 7, 2010 EAP 94.505

Here comes promised fresh-baked weekly EAP build. This one brings you:

  • Branding is almost complete and all the nice PhpStorm and WebStorm icons are now in place. We still have lots of work on Windows exe installer pending, including some minor bugs kindly reported by our users
  • PHP completion has been reworked to include only local scope on first invocation. Just press Ctrl+Space again to see all global variants. This new behavior is a bit controversial so please let us know how it works for you
  • New project from remote location wizard got many fixes and some of requested options i.e. filtering download by file mask so you can easily omit .svn folders or images that you don’t need locally. Expect more features in this area in next builds.
  • Linux startup scrips got additional tuning including explicit warning about that OpenJDK is unsupported, so there will be a lot less chance that IDE UI is suddenly broken for you with apparently no reason.

List of fixes available in issue tracker.

Mar 2, 2010 Integrated Database Console

The latest PhpStorm EAP (build 94.430) contains a good number changes in Database-related functionality. Namely:

  • A dedicated Database Console tool-window
  • Сonsole-like UI keeps input and output in one place and retains the highlighting for execution history
  • Configurable keyboard shortcuts for all Console actions (in IDE Settings)
  • Per-result Page Up, Page Down and Refresh actions
  • Complete support for In-Memory Databases (try running some DDL in Console then click Refresh Tables and all the tables will be loaded in the Data Sources tree)
  • Quick Table Contents Lookup using the standard Quick Documentation Lookup action. Try Ctrl+Q on a table name anywhere in the IDE!

Try all this in the latest EAP and let us know what you think.
