We took a longer pause to publish this new IntelliJ IDEA 10 EAP build but there are reasons. Here are some of them:
- New code completion UI, which suggests you the completion variants even before you press the completion keyboard shortcut. You can accept the top suggestion with Enter or Tab.
- A bunch of new refactoring features and intention actions for ActionScript;
- Support for new language features of Groovy 1.8;
- Many improvements in soft wrap and new option for hard-wrapping the line automatically when typing reaches the right margin;
- Server-side file rename and move in the Remote Hosts Access plugin.
See the full changelist with 300+ fixes and improvements made since the last update.

Is there a way to disable the new completion behavior? it makes the editor unusably slow for me.
DylanSchell,
We’d appreciate if you could file a YouTrack issue with a CPU snapshot showing the slow completion.
The completion autopopup can, of course, be disabled in the editor settings.
Python plugin doesn’t work =(
Is it because the wings form an X?
Nevile: Exactly!
The new version (the latest one) is so slow and make it undesirable to use for simple editing.
For my java work, I kind have to switch back to version 7 to get quick response in editing time.
But since I also like to use Scala plugin, so I have to use later version. This is, I guess, has something to do with the new completion behavior.
