A new way to explore what’s new and what’s fixed

With this release, we’re introducing a new approach to sharing updates, designed to make our communication more focused and transparent.

We’re now splitting release information into two distinct but equally important parts:

• The What’s New page provides a curated overview of the most impactful new features and capabilities – everything that expands what you can do with the IDE.
  
• The What’s Fixed blog post is dedicated to meaningful quality-of-life improvements, from performance boosts and UI refinements to long-requested bug fixes and workflow enhancements that make your IDE feel faster, smoother, and more reliable.
  

The What’s Fixed in IntelliJ IDEA 2025.2 blog post will be published shortly – stay tuned!
