One of our main priorities for this year was to boost the start-up time. Reduced memory consumption, specifically on Gradle projects import.

Overall better UI responsiveness, less UI and editor freezes.

We’ve been working hard to improve the performance of IntelliJ IDEA and have achieved the following results:

We hope that these efforts make developing with IntelliJ IDEA even more enjoyable! Micronaut, Quarkus, and Helidon, and the long-awaited support for MongoDB. We also had some ongoing projects in the works, things like support for new Microservices frameworks, e.g. During this release cycle, our team has managed to fix more than 1600 issues that together received a total of more than 3900 votes in our issue tracker. We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has shared suggestions for improvements and reported issues to our tracker. To better define our priorities for this release cycle, we’ve been relying on your feedback even more than ever. We held a quality-marathon, during which the IntelliJ IDEA team rallied together with several other JetBrains developer teams, to work specifically on polishing the IDE and make performance improvements, UI responsiveness fixes, usability enhancements, improvements in the existing functionality, and more. With this major version of IntelliJ IDEA, we’ve focused on the performance and overall quality of the IDE. Please give a warm welcome to IntelliJ IDEA 2019.3 – this year’s third and final major release of our flagship IDE!
