Even through we didn’t discover any major regressions in PyCharm 2.6.3 Release Candidate, the feedback that we kept receiving from users led us to make a number of additional fixes, some of which are significant enough to warrant the release of another RC build. The specific areas affected by the fixes are diagrams, test runner (including support for the latest release of py.test) and remote interpreters.
The usual links: download, release notes, issue tracker.
Today we’ve published the Release Candidate build for the next bugfix update of PyCharm, version 2.6.3. Most of the improvements in this build are related to the underlying IntelliJ Platform (in particular CSS and LESS/SASS support got a number of nice fixes), but there’s a number of Python-specific fixes too, including a nasty deadlock during indexing, a fix for a long standing issue with coverage data not being displayed in the editor for some project configurations, and an NPE with remote interpreters.
As usual, the build is available for download from the EAP page. Please report any issues encountered to YouTrack. Provided that nothing major comes up, we’ll release the final 2.6.3 build this week, and proceed to open the EAP for PyCharm 2.7 after that.
The promised PyCharm 2.6.2 update is available. It contains critical fixes related to symlink handling, remote interpreters and copy/paste functionality in the editor. Some problems are fixed in code insight and the Django support. There’s also one small but nice addition — you can now use Zen coding in your Jinja2 files.
Check out the release notes for a full list of fixes.
You can download the new build from the website or use “Check for updates” feature to update your version 2.6.1 from the IDE.
We’re currently composing the list of features for the next PyCharm version and all good pythonistas should easily guess which version usually follows 2.5 and 2.6 
Stay tuned for further updates!

We’ve received a fair amount of feedback for our beta release (thanks everyone who reported issues!), and we’d like to give our users one final chance to try out a preview build and make sure there are no major problems remaining.
Today we’ve published the Release Candidate build of PyCharm 2.6. The changes worth noticing are fixes for performance issues caused by the Flask plugin, as well as some finishing touches to our Python 3.3 support. You can also check the complete release notes for the RC build.
See you next week at the DjangoCon US in Washington, DC!
We’re probably done with new features for this release and have just published a new build which we call PyCharm 2.6 Beta.

Next week is also a DjangoCon US. If you’re going, meet us there! We’ve also prepared some cool gifts for the attendees.
Dear Friends,
As you know, we’re a company of software products. PyCharm is one of 14 that are already known to the wider audience, and more are to come sooner or later.
But a company isn’t just what we develop. It’s also who we are, what we’re passionate about, what inspires us, and what we believe in. We decided to share these essential parts of our world called JetBrains with you — in the JetBrains Company Blog. In fact, it’s been in the works for quite some time and is finally coming to life.
Check in often to get to know us better — the people, the events, the hobbies, the beliefs, the anecdotes, special offers and the pure facts — everything behind the tools that we make for you.
Don’t miss our Interview with John Lindquist, already published on the blog.
Stay tuned for more news and keep developing with pleasure!
– Your PyCharm Team
