Summary

Toolbox App 3.3 introduces jetbrainsd, a new lightweight background service that enhances cross-IDE features such as protocol handling by routing jetbrains:// links through the daemon instead of the app itself, thus improving reliability when accessing links from various sources. This release focuses on improving the user experience for Linux users with significant stability enhancements, including fixes for persistent widget placement and authentication issues on fresh GNOME setups, as well as improved .desktop file compatibility. Notably, plugin updates no longer require an app restart, allowing for seamless integration of new versions, and remote development receives enhancements with proper agent shutdown and error resolution. The JetBrains team encourages users to share feedback on the new features and improvements.
