Fresh build: a round of fixing and refinement. Just get it! Automatic update for all platforms is also available. Be sure to try new web stuff too.
Develop with pleasure!

How do use the file watchers on PHPStorm? I see the feature is available on Webstorm.
This functionality is still work in progress and currently not available for PhpStorm (only in WebStorm). When done, it will be in PhpStorm as separate plugin (Background Tasks, IIRC). Just wait.
P.S. You can try and install both products and then copy plugin from one product to another — may work (but no guarantees at all).
new EAP nearly every day
I’m glad, the last one was a bit broken
Your work is impressive but unfortunately it’s not helpful because of performance.
I have tried your software (PHPStorm5) in a site where I use html boilerplate. it’s run worst.
Same now in WP if I tried to open a whole WP project it’s run quite slow. if I open only folder then phpstorm generate dozen of other file in .idea.
I also had performance problems with phpstorm5 but have noticed the phpstorm6 eap builds significantly improving overall experience.
I think it might be due to that some services are disabled, for people to test main functionality of the product and maybe, just maybe, the final version will be slow as well. But overall it depends on PC. Java is very hungry.
Usually it’s other way around because:
1) code in EAP is not that well optimised compared to final builds (priority is towards implementing features and improving performance will be done close to release date)
2) some old bugs/botlenecks were fixed since previous version, so in some scenarios the difference is quite visible
3) EAP builds have some extra logging enabled by default while it is turned off in release versions.
Why this EAP version for WI issues shows nothing in bugtracker? Or there wasn’t anything fixed from PHP stuff?
Look like it — at the end of the day the main purpose of this particular build is to provide working version of LESS plugin that was crashing whole IDE or lead to “Not enough memory” behaviour.
After the upgrade, lost their own “live templates”
Same here — lost one group and 2nd one was “reset” to older version.
But you may be able to “recover” them — go to where IDE stores its’ settings (on Windows 7 it would be C:\Users\USERNAME\.WebIde60\config\templates ) and look for files.
My deleted had *.icls extension (while PhpStorm only recognises *.xml) — simple rename did the job. My original group (that was “reset”) — I have recovered from user.icls file — deleted user.xml and renamed it).
yes, the wrong extension might be the issue – see http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-99951
Thanks Elena. At least now I know what is going on.
Does anyone know, is there a way to change this path in IDE C:\Users\USERNAME\? Low on memory on disk C.
Yes — please check PhpStorm_Install_Folder\bin\idea.properties
When will traits work properly?! It has been almost a year since you introduced traits support, and what? You are adding new exotic features, while basic language support not only doesn’t work, but actually makes writing code impossible. PHP 5.5 will be out soon, but I still can’t work with 5.4.
When will you update php plugin for Idea?
Once 12.1 (branch 126+) EAP is open.
