Releases

In the 2022.3 release cycle we’ve enabled macro expansion for function-like and derive macros and build script evaluation by default.  We’ve implemented code insight features like the intention action preview, among others. The Run/debug section includes various improvements, and we’ve changed how types are rendered in the Debug window.  Additionally, there are a number of performance enhancements.  Language Support Macros expansion Function-like and derive macros are now expanded by default.  Items generated by procedural macros get syntax highlig

In this release cycle, we’ve enabled a new approach for detecting changes in configuration files, as well as a new way to reload project models. We’ve improved performance and implemented various type inference improvements. IntelliJ Rust now highlights outdated or missing dependencies in Cargo.toml. The plugin can convert JSON to structs via copy-paste. There are plenty of other features and improvements – to learn about them all, read the detailed description below. Language Support Project model reloading In v2022.2, we’ve improved the way IntelliJ Rust updates the projec

In this release cycle, we’ve improved our language support, code insight, run/debug support, and tool integrations, and added many enhancements and fixes.  Language Support Single-step macro expansion  We’ve significantly improved how macro expansion works. Previously the macro expansion process was implemented in multiple steps – up to 64. The indexing would start after every step. This approach was not ideal. First, the macro expansion was slower than it could be because the cache memory would be cleared out at the end of indexing. And second, multiple steps caused

In this release cycle, we focused on enriching language support and adding more code insight features. The run and debug functionality has received a few major updates, too. Read on to learn the details. (more…)

For IntelliJ Rust, this release cycle has been full of significant updates. We have added new functionality to language support, code insight, and run/debug support, along with many fixes and smaller enhancements. (more…)

This is the first entry we are publishing in a dedicated blog for IntelliJ Rust! Previously hosted on the CLion blog, our articles were tied closely to that particular IDE. From now on, we’ll be describing the plugin’s news and features with regard to all the IDEs it’s compatible with. Have you already explored the documentation we released a while ago? If not, we encourage you to check it out! It describes the plugin in full detail and also gives some general IDE-related info. Our documentation system is still in active development on both the frontend and the content edge, so your feedback i
