TGIF! The good news today (apart from that it’s Friday) is that IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2.4 is out. Inside you’ll find a number of important bugfixes.
Feel free to download and install the new version from scratch, or (if you’re running IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2.3), apply the patch by clicking Check for Updates and then Download and Install.
Enjoy your weekend!
And again in-place-update/patch-update doesn’t work :/
I’m running (still) 2016.2 and I can’t go neither to 2016.2.4 nor in steps 2016.2.1->2->3->4.
This definitely requires some work as it’s especially annoying with often updates :[
This is a known limitation. Currently we don’t provide patches between non-sibling versions. Sorry about this. We plan to fix that in future.
Please follow this issue for progress: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-108061
Good to know that you’re aware about it. However it would be cool if you allow at least partial updates (i.e. don’t push only latests one at the time so one would get stranded with the older version). And I know patch-updates apply only in sub-version and you have to manually download big releases…
Is there any way to watch the issues in youtrack?
To watch an issue, log in, and then click the Star icon next to the issue’s title. Feel also free to add comments to the issue.
FTR, Also I recommend reading about Toolbox App: https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2016/05/25/introducing-jetbrains-toolbox-app/
Seconding what @W says, however, the update doesn’t even seem to work in-place from 2016.2.3 to 2016.2.4.
The symptom I’m experiencing (on Windows 7, with IntelliJ IDEA 2016.2.3 installed) is that I get prompted to update, I click the Update hyperlink, then I click Update and Restart in the dialog box. It downloads the patch, shuts down IntelliJ, gives me a UAC prompt to allow JetBrains Updater Launcher to make changes to my computer (to which I respond “Yes”), and then it skips the update and relaunches IntelliJ 2016.2.3 again, which then checks for updates and prompts me to go through the same process all over again.
Just updated for 2.3 to 2.4.
when I go to SVN file history, cursor becomes a hand, and idea64 is burning 1 cpu but completely frozen.
Windows 7, 64bits
also, Every update, I have a conflic on idea.properties file that can only be replaced and then re-edited to copy paste the same two lines (location of caches), if you could do something about that, that would be appreciated.
Frequent freezes and numerous issues on OSX El Capitan 10.11.6. Keyboard will stop working. Highlights will stop working. Search preview will stop working. IDE lock-ups occur frequently. I was not experiencing this in the earlier version. Requires frequent IDE quits/force-quits and restarts. Please test this out asap and fix it. It’s essentially unusable.
Update from 2.3 to 2.4 not working, tried several times.

Did you ever get this fixed? I’m having the same issue :/
When will 2016.2.5 be released? It has a backported Spock bugfix for @Unroll that I am very eager to use.
Hi
Still same issues since 2016.2 :
– High CPU usage
– Major typing lag
Where can I get this release?
Release 2016.2.5 is garbage for me.
Or even, 2016.2.3…which was working just fine…
So figured out the current download url…
https://download.jetbrains.com/idea/ideaIU-2016.2.5-no-jdk.tar.gz
However:
https://download.jetbrains.com/idea/ideaIU-2016.2.4-no-jdk.tar.gz
https://download.jetbrains.com/idea/ideaIU-2016.2.3-no-jdk.tar.gz
Both return forbiddens.
Way to go guys…if there’s another download that’d be great.
Also, note to self *not* to ever use the automatic updater again…or at least wait until they have the option to archive old versions embedded into it.
Due to a number of reasons, “not latest” versions are not available for download.
I need to revert to a recent stable version of Intellij. This is quite frustrating that the stable versions are blocked from download.
You’re right. We’ll change our workflow, so https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/previous.html will have a link to a previous version to rollback to (for some fixed period of time after the update, e.g. 1 month).
It’s very unstable.. Crashes at start or even not start at all..
