What’s fixed in IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2 - The JetBrains Blog

IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2 introduces over 1,300 bug fixes and usability improvements, with a focus on enhancing performance and responsiveness by addressing 140 freezes and performance issues identified through diagnostics and user reports. Key updates include asynchronous file saves to prevent UI freezes, improved navigation and usability in large or remote directory structures, and enhanced handling of Spring configuration metadata to reduce memory consumption and stabilize performance. The release also brings advancements in code resolution, navigation, and usage detection, particularly for Spring Boot, Spring Security, Spring Cache, and Spring Events, alongside enriched support for Thymeleaf and better integration for Kotlin in server-side projects. The Markdown editor now supports standard footnotes, and user interface enhancements have been made, such as persistent bookmark management across Git branches and improved plugin search functionality. The Machine Learning Code Completion plugin is deprecated due to the rise of AI-assisted coding tools, while the Task Management and Time Tracking plugins have been unbundled to streamline the installation, though they remain available via JetBrains Marketplace. Users are encouraged to provide feedback on these updates to guide future developments.
