JetBrains

RubyMine 6 brings support for multiple projects, improved language support for Ruby 2.1 preview (and earlier versions), and works faster thanks to multiple performance optimizations.

November 26, 2013

Prague, Czech Republic, November 26, 2013 — JetBrains®, a world leader in professional software development tools, today announced the general availability of RubyMine 6, the new major release of their powerful Ruby and Rails IDE.

“In this release we strengthened Ruby support and boosted the overall IDE performance: doubled the speed of the visual debugger, reworked code insight for faster editing, and sped up code completion. It’s really flying now,” said Oleg Sukhodolsky, RubyMine lead developer. “We’ve also been listening to web developers, so now RubyMine 6 does a better job of meeting their needs by providing support for Stylus and Compass stylesheets and enhancing support for LESS, SASS and SCSS.”

• 2 new refactorings: “Extract Class” and “Find Duplicates for Extract Method”
