Better Rename refactoring

The Rename refactoring gets even smarter and now notifies you about potential conflicts that might be introduced by the renaming you are considering. The symbol name conflicts are displayed in the Problems Detected window, where you can opt to explore them in the Conflicts tab, cancel, or proceed with the refactoring.

Cassandra database

Thanks to our wonderful colleagues on the DataGrip team, GoLand now supports Cassandra databases.

Improved JSON support

You don’t need to take care of commas anymore! GoLand automatically adds or removes commas at the end of lines when you move them using Move Statement Up or Move Statement Down (Cmd/Ctrl-Shift-Up/Down), and when you add a comma for a new line inside an object.

The IDE provides three options for surrounding items in JSON via the Surround With action (Alt-Cmd/Ctrl-T): with quotes, curly braces, or square braces. It also automatically escapes symbols when you paste code in a JSON file.

Try these features our in the latest EAP build and do tell us about your experience of using them. Your feedback is very welcome in the comments below, our Twitter, or our bug tracker. Thanks!
