Generally, we recommend using nightly builds of Scala plugin to stay up to date in cutting-edge features and bug-fixes. Most nightlies are rather stable and may often work even better than “officially stable” releases.
Although we can always download the latest nightly build and update Scala plugin by-hand, there is now a better way to get recent versions.
Just add “http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/plugins/scala-nightly.xml”
into Settings / Updates / Plugin Hosts:
After that, you can receive notifications on new plugin nightlies:
Update with pleasure 
Cool, this will save me time, thanks!
This is awesome. I have been visiting the plugin page and manually updating on every build. Just as Lachlan said, it will save me time
Thank you very much!
Will save us loads of hassle, thanks!
Awesome news, thanks so much for this!
Very awesome!
I do have one request. Can you avoid publishing a nightly build if there have not been any changes that day? The Scala git repo shows no changes in the past five days, but there’s been a nightly build every day.
That would help avoid needless updates and restarts.
Thanks again!

Can you please update the post? We’ve already had two or three engineers missing the comment (myself included)… :-/
