We are happy to announce the first public build of PhpStorm & WebStorm 6.0!
There’s a lot of changes. We started to work on core language features and later will show some love to tools and frameworks. The most visible of what’s already available today:
- PHP
- Automatic generation of “use” clauses on class name completion
- Change signature refactoring
- Pull up/Push down for class members refactoring
- Better runtime error prevention - more problems will be caught by code analyser
- JavaScript
- TypeScript support: coding assistance & debugging via source maps
- Dart support is now integrated into WebStorm
- General
- Darcula – completely dark IDE interface option
We’ll publish a series of blog posts on these and other new features. Also, much more is coming!
As usual, bear in mind that you are getting a snapshot of work in progress and product will undergo series of technical and cosmetic changes.
- EAP users should know the drill, but since this is a major upgrade – we’ll repeat:
BACK UP YOUR PROJECT INFO BEFORE 1st RUN - IDE Configs are stored in a separate folder, so all previous builds are unaffected by this one. Plus – automatic import will finally pick old ones up for you on the first run
- 3rd party plugins may cease to work with this build – ping authors for platform 12 support, we’ll gladly help them in case of trouble
Download PhpStorm & WebStorm 6.0 EAP build 122.864 for your platform from project EAP page.
Develop with pleasure!

Awesome news!
Any way to get the darcula theme on phpstorm 5?
Actually, no. It relies on code most of which does not exist in v5.
Darcula is great. Turned on my own code theme (derivative of RailsCast.)
I’ve only glanced over the new refactoring tools and am already quite impressed.
I’m also looking forward to researching Dart + dart2js!
Can you share your code theme?
Sure.

And, really, +1 for the new IntellJ IDE shell. The entire IDE just feels faster. I had some lag jumping around files before and simply moving the cursor on the screen. That’s gone and things are fast.
Of course, editing the jQueryUI js is still a monster but even here there are improvements!
Likewise, Luis Cordova and I have come up with a PHPStorm editor theme that mimics the Symfony2 and Doctrine2 documentation syntax highlighting.
Available Here
Lots of major releases recently – 5.0.4 is still pretty hot and KABOOM – 6.0.0 EAP.
I’m just curious about the story behind the jump
Nothing special. We open EAP as soon as possible. Usually in couple months since major update. .
And we just want to release often. It’s easier since we don’t charge users per release
Kudos. I feel like a kid at christmas every time I see a new PhpStorm version.
Dark theme is cool! Thank you
Still work in progress though. Has glitches here and there. Please report!
First of all, Thank you! for releasing an EAP so soon, I’m an EAP junkie and I was checking the blog/EAP page for like 2 times a day waiting for this
Second, if anyone else thinks that PhpStorm would benefit from this: http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-14991 please vote for it!
Thanks once again for doing such a great product!
It would be really nice to have ANT support in WebStorm without workarounds and external tools.
Won’t happend in foreseeable future.
Oh no, i bought PHP Storm 2 Weeks ago, and now there is a new Version
1. You should really read at least the summary on the buy page
Every license comes with one year of free upgrades.
2. EAP is not really a Version. Its a weekly/experimental/beta/preview of work in progress. And its free. Just dont forget to provide good feedback.
Hmm… Just encountered “The JVM could not be started. The maximum heap size ….” error when attempted to launch v6 EAP. Never had this before and v5 still launches just fine. Launching via bat file works fine (but leaves cmd window opened until PhpStorm is closed).
Editing PhpStorm.exe.vmoptions allowed me to launch it in usual way, but with -Xmx350m instead of default -Xmx512m
I really expect to have the discussion on possible reasons in other place you’re very aware of
Please file it!
I’ll try EAP build at work first — wanna see if there will be any difference and possible reasons (excluding the fact that v6 bundled with Java v7).
Can not start it on windows 7 x64 =(
—————————
Error
—————————
The JVM could not be started. The maximum heap size (-Xmx) might be too large or an antivirus or firewall tool could block the execution.
—————————
OK
—————————
Try to update Java. This should help.
I have Win7 x64 8gb RAM and that build works perfectly.
Try increase Xmx to 1024 (what I usually do) and you”l face the same problem
http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-15009
Looks like EAP had too hight value for -XX:MaxPermSize parameter (PhpStorm.exe.vmoptions)
Go ahead, we are waiting for final release!
In 5.0.x editor tabs looked very nice, now they have ugly 3d look (more dark gray at the bottom) I hope that is not intended and it will be fixed in next eap’s.
lol looking great!!! please consider patch updates for all the EAPs with v6
Awesome, finally got “Show directories with changed descendants” now, I can delete the eclipse
Sorry this is my first time trying an EAP version and I’m not entirely sure I know what you mean exactly with ‘BACK UP YOUR PROJECT INFO’ – how do I go about this the safest possible way? I googled a bit without success… is there a step-by-step guide?
Thanks!
“PROJECT INFO” here is the content of .idea folder, it contains all per-project settings – version control, deployment, inspections etc. It might become incompatible with previous builds (5.0) after opening with newer one. So – zip it to a safe location.
Plus, if you are not (for any of the unconvincing reasons) using the version control (properly) – zip your project too. Just in case. EAP is officially alpha quality, thus while usually its quite stable things may go wrong.
I like the new UI Interface, but I the coloring for php files is bad.
Looks very bumpy
True. We’re focused on bigger problems ATM.
I just wanted to mention that
I agree with you. Try color schema from http://blog.jetbrains.com/webide/2012/11/phpstorm-webstorm-6-0-early-access-program-started/#comment-13569
Loving this, thanks for all of the regular updates. I know that I always have something to look forward to when I visit jetbrains.com
Very exciting. I mentioned in my recent blog entry (http://adoseofjavascript.wordpress.com/2012/10/25/the-tools-of-my-trade/) how impressed I am with your release schedules and the overall quality of WebStorm so news like this shouldn’t surprise me but it did and I’m even more impressed now than I was prior. Question: Can I run install these early access releases side by side with my licensed version? I’d really not want to screw that perfect environment up as it is my bread and butter tool
Jeff
Yes.
Safety instructions included in the end of the post and one of my comments here.
Great, I look forward to this version is available in stable
Brilliant new UI. Darcula mixed with my own theme for the code is just perfect. Thank you for saving my eyes.
I am finding that PhpStorm is using more and more memory on my MacBook Pro. A project in 4.0 for example is sitting around 400Mb Real Mem after a few minutes of usage, the same project in 5.0 is sitting around 550Mb and in the 6.0 EAP is sitting at 1.07GB Real Mem.
I have php code sniffer turned on in 5.0 so that could explain the jump between 4 and 5 slightly, but I just wanted to express concern over this trend as one of the draw-cards to PhpStorm was how lightweight it was in terms of resource usage.
Well.. The JVM is locked to same fixed amount of RAM for all versions, so in the long run usage will be just the same.
But this is a first EAP. In current stage of development we are focused on putting new stuf in. We keep performance at the sane levels, but main work on it is done after feature freeze and in minor updates (x.0.x).
If you want us to fix something in particular – submit a detailed report to the tracker.
Desperately need Darcula in RubyMine! Is it planned?
Yes, sure. It’ll be available for RubyMine too.
Actually, it is already available in Enoki EAP versions
I am happy to see a progress phpstorm team behind phpstorm.
a little doubt with PHPstorm ?
1. When I run sublime text 2 I can type and type and tab and it’s type my code faster then what I write in phpstorm. phpstorm write slow and I got no speed of what I am writing.
phpstorm genrate code better and make me fast coder but can someone can let me know how they work fast.
When my code relies on html5BP then he is playing slow from starting to end.
This one is huge! Love the new colors and refactorings. Great work!
Aren’t you going to include support of html template languages?
For example EJS (http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-7910) or some generic solution?
It already has exellent TWIG support
Still no support for Stylus markdown? It’s been requested by many people like a year ago. I’m really, really disappointed…
Ouch.
Are you kidding me? What’s about FTP UTIME & MFMT commands to change file timestamps?
+1
I switched to the Darcula scheme but my project tree is still light…how do I make it dark?
Also it appears you’ve missed restyling a few icons, such as Resource Root (purple folder) and PHP files.
That happened to me also. I believe that you we’re trying to change editor color scheme, not the IDE scheme. There is new setting for that now in first section of IDE settings named Appearance.

Seems that the elseif issue is still unsolved though… many duplicates of this issue, since version 2.0? One sample report that is still open http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WI-6175
Hope this gets looked into
The new UI looks good
Will 6.0 get simple Project management? Even smaller Editors have a way to collect projects in a list or project management window.
It would be nice if at least in next version we will get revisited menus in phpstorm.
I always get mixed with searching for correct place for menu -> they always are on wrong location.

New PhpStorm Icons ugly as hell (EAP-124.373) Please give us your “classic” icons back!
I am using IntelliJ V12 with Darcula theme. And I have installed a PHP plugin to support my development in PHP.
But comparing PHP development to Java development, the TABs background color seems inconsistent as Java, which is white instead of dark. I wonder is this a bug of PHP plugin or IntelliJ IDE?
Will there be a light theme shipped with phpstorm 6? I don’t like it at all – well, I don’t like dark software themes at all – they look stylish at first glance, but are not as user-friendly to use as light themes – for me at least
Yes, the default theme is there.
Is it also possible to switch the iconset? I personally can’t see the difference between files, folders etc. in a glance anymore. And there a bit… ehm ugly (imho).
What is better in PHPstorm then Sublime Text 2 for php development?
I would also like to express my displeasure on the new icon design. If I could at least manually change the icon set – that would be great
