PR50560

PRAGUE, Sept. 7/ PRN=KYODO JBN/ --

     The intelligent JavaScript IDE from JetBrains brings to life the latest

innovations in web development workflow by introducing easy-to-use live page

editing, and supports more top-notch technologies and coding techniques

     JetBrains, the creators of IntelliJ IDEA, ReSharper and other intelligent,

productivity-enhancing tools for software developers, have announced the

general availability of WebStorm 5.0, the major new version of its innovative

JavaScript IDE.

     To meet the always-growing user expectations, WebStorm 5.0 re-evaluates

web developer productivity once again. Along with many smaller additions that

make routine coding even more efficient, it introduces 'Live Edit' mode. On

every change of HTML, JS or CSS code in the IDE, the browser page is

intelligently updated (currently works with Google Chrome), even as you go

through options in completion lists. Live Edit saves a lot of time on

window-switching and helps you stay fully focused on the code.

     "As it often happens with innovations, the idea is in the air, it's just a

matter of good implementation. We think that with Live Edit we've found a

simple yet significant way to help web developers gain in coding productivity

with no additional effort," said Alexey Gopachenko, WebStorm project lead.

"WebStorm 5.0 also takes further our Prevent bugs initiative and extends its

JavaScript unit testing abilities. You know, best practices are even better

when they are easy to follow."

     Additional key features of WebStorm 5.0 include:

     Further improvements in JavaScript testing with JSTestDriver, plus the

     ability to debug unit tests

     Support for working with Jade templates

     Enhanced JavaScript editing and code completion performance

     Reworked CSS/LESS/Sass/SCSS editing with lots of additions and fixes

     New FTPS support in deployment routines
