PhpStorm 6 release is just around the corner!
Today we’re publishing a PhpStorm 6 Public Preview build 127.67 with a set of latest fixes.
Those who already use our EAP builds – please download the latest build and be sure to report all the bugs in the issue tracker to be sure we are working on fixing it.
And if you are still using our stable 5.0.x builds – here is a summary of all improvements and new features we are planning to include in upcoming PhpStorm 6 release:
PhpStorm 6 significantly expands a variety of everyday actions available to be performed right from the IDE, e.g. managing dependencies with Composer, transpiling SASS/SCSS/LESS with File Watchers, testing RESTful web services with REST Сlient and others. PhpStorm 6 comes with new intelligent tools such as new refactorings, code (re)arranger, completely re-worked HTML structure view, Emmet for HTML and CSS, and more. Last but not least – refined fully dark UI scheme.
All of these brand new features are aimed to help PHP developers keep focus, remain productive and use the best technologies available to produce neat and well-tested code.
Check out the overview of all PhpStorm 6 features and download the build from PhpStorm website.
If you still have some feedback, now is the best time to share it in the forum and bug tracker — the release build is about to launch!
Develop with pleasure!

Why i can not upgrade from early EAP version?
The patch for an upgrade from early EAP is not available. Could you please download a new version at http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/WI/Web+IDE+EAP
Thank you for this release and your hard work!
I do have a small issue to ask: What about: http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/PhpStorm/PhpStorm+Development+Roadmap ? Is it going to suffer any update?
Thanks once again.
Yes, the roadmap has been updated.
The list of new features for PhpStorm 6 sucks
I’m sad, even I have been on EAP since first EAP-build
I’m having a problem with this release, each time the project indexing finishes all my code files go completely blank. The files exist (all of them) but become completely blank.
Does anyone have this issue? Is it something i’m doing in the wrong way?
Are your files local?
Yes, my “workspace” is in one folder (under version control) and the files are uploaded to a server.
I initially thought the problem occured when uploading but i was wrong, when the indexing finishes all the files go blank.
OK, do you have an antivirus running?
Yes, i have Kaspersky.
Thanks for your reply!
What if you turn it off for a while?
Well, it’s working with Kaspersky turned off. This is strange, never happened in any other version. Besides turning Kaspersky off, is there any other solution?
Thanks!
Jut set up an exclude directory in Kaspersky?
OK, apparently it’s working. Thanks for all the help and patience.
Best regards
Hi, when you will release the 6?!
Quite soon. In a few weeks.
Please write blog post about LESS compilation in Windows with Php/WebStorm. I can’t make it work.
Probably this post can help you – http://blog.jetbrains.com/webide/2013/03/file-watchers-in-webstormphpstorm-6-a-k-a-background-tasks/
Not, there is nothing about LESS. And under Windows is not as simple as under *nix.
I seem to be getting excessive memory use with this release. 570mb used after an hour of use on a basic WordPress project. Is there any kind of log I can send so you can have a look?
Please take memory snapshot: http://devnet.jetbrains.com/docs/DOC-1253 (add -agentlib:yjpagent option and click toolbar button). Thanks!
I made a mem snapshop, how can I send it to you?
The memory snapshots should be uploaded to our FTP site: ftp://ftp.intellij.net/.uploads/
After uploading the snapshot, please notify us by e-mail or file a YouTrack issue and specify the name of the uploaded snapshot file.
Thank you!

PS-127.67_hertzel_11.03.2013_14.36.41.zip
still super slow, not sure if it has to do with my version of java, or what.. used to be faster a few EAPs before.
Same, here extreme memory usage, 800MB+ with a drupal 7 project… had to sop using it is there a way to get an older EAP? to go back to the pre-preview release?
I’ve seen your 2nd comment – could you please take a memory snapshot too? Need to investigate this issue. http://devnet.jetbrains.com/docs/DOC-1253
Thank you!
NVM found the link using the page history feature.
I’m skipping this release for now.

Can you update the docs on how to get PHPUnit generation working again? The instructions here are out of date because there is no “Skeleton Generator” page anymore in the PHPstorm 6 settings.
Thank you! I’ve reported our documentation team. They will fix this issue. Do you still have troubles configuring it and need an advice or everything is ok now?
Hi Mikhail, I can’t find the method to setup the Skeleton Generator at all anymore so I still need help. Do you have any hints?
Skeleton Generator is not supported anymore. We’ve implemented tests generation via ‘New’ -> ‘PHPUnit’ -> ‘PHPUnit Test’
Hello. Is it possible to use PhpStorm EAP in commercial development? And if so, where can I find the confirmation of thin info on the official site?
Hi,
can I rename a local variable in one shot like in Xcode?
public function my_method() {
$to_change = 'hello';
some_function( $to_change );
echo $to_change;
}
For instance, highlighting the
$to_change, select rename, and all reference intomy_method()will renamed.Thanks for your great product!
