JetBrains just released the newest EAP build, one in a long line of builds they’ve been releasing for us developers in their Early Access Program. I truly believe it’s awesome how JetBrains listens to their users and work hard to release this cutting edge editor.
What’s inside
phpStorm 2.0 has a lot of hot features. Most of them are already working in the newest EAP builds.
Features already in:
