The main highlights:

• The Clangd-based engine received the following improvements:
  • A fix for the Clangd crash in the name hints.
  • Incorrect completion in multi-cursor mode is fixed (CPP-19680).
  • Concepts are working again in CLion with the Microsoft Visual C++ toolchain, after recently being broken.
• CLion no longer fails if the Clang-cl compiler bitness doesn’t correspond to the toolchain bitness. Instead, the IDE passes the correct flags to build the proper binaries.
• Unit testing improvements:
  • CLion’s automatic arguments for Boost.Test are no longer in conflict with the user’s arguments (CPP-17734).
  • The Google Test built-in test runner no longer incorrectly reports a certain failing test as succeeding (CPP-14927).
  • Google Test targets for v1.8.1+ are now correctly recognized by CLion as Google Test targets, and corresponding Run/Debug configurations are created automatically.

We are now busy putting the final touches on the release, so please report any problems you encounter to our issue tracker. This way, we can sort them out before the final release (though, depending on their priority, the actual fixes might be postponed for later 2020.1.x bug-fix updates).
