Register for the Meetup On September 15, the Zephyr community is coming together for an in-person meetup at the JetBrains office in Amsterdam. The Zephyr Project is an open-source collaboration project hosted by the Linux Foundation. Its community brings together developers, users, silicon vendors, device manufacturers, and software companies to build a small, scalable real-time […]
CLion’s new AI skill lets agents find the root cause without manual digging. Embedded debugging takes a lot of manual work. You’re flashing real hardware, juggling debug probes or DAP adapters, and when something goes wrong at a lower level (a hard fault), the processor doesn’t tell you why, only that it happened. Finding the […]
This blog post covers the updates we plan to introduce over the next four months in the upcoming minor releases (2026.2.x) and the next stable release (2026.3). After reviewing your feedback and our strategic goals, we’ve decided to focus on improving agentic workflows, embedded development support, and the debugger. Here are some of the highlights: […]
Last year, we announced that CLion Nova would become the default C and C++ engine for all users and that all new language improvements would be developed for Nova. With CLion 2026.2, we’re taking the next step in that transition – the legacy Classic engine is moving from the CLion bundle to an optional plugin. […]
With a debugger skill for AI agents, debug profiles for simplified debugger configuration, and support for C++26 reflection. CLion 2026.2 is now available. This latest version of the JetBrains IDE for C and C++ includes the following key features: You can download CLion 2026.2 from the link below, via the Toolbox App, or as a […]
Embedded software development comes with a unique set of pressures: strict safety and security standards, complex toolchains, and the constant challenge of catching defects as early as possible. Starting with CLion 2026.1.2, you can open SARIF findings from Parasoft C/C++test analyses for standards such as MISRA C/C++, AUTOSAR C++14, CERT C/C++, and CWE directly in […]
Every developer has tools they rely on daily. The workflows they’ve built around them, the ways they’ve learned to move faster, debug smarter, and write better code – that kind of hands-on experience can be hard to put into words. We’re collaborating with LinkedIn to make it easier for you to showcase your expertise with […]
Modern C++ makes advanced high-performance techniques more accessible, with features like compile-time computation, zero-overhead abstractions, and expressive template code. But as your codebase grows, your ability to use these techniques productively depends heavily on how well your tooling understands them. Without proper language engine support, modern C++ features can lead to false positives,…
Making software accessible often comes down to removing small but repeated points of friction in everyday workflows. Today, on Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we’re sharing recent improvements in JetBrains IDEs across several areas: compatibility with assistive technologies on various platforms, keyboard navigation, and non-visual feedback. Some of these improvements are already available, and…
Starting with v2026.1.2, CLion includes the SARIF Viewer, available out of the box. This is especially useful for embedded and automotive teams, for whom external static analysis is often part of the compliance toolchain. If you use tools that produce SARIF reports – such as Parasoft C/C++test, Clang Static Analyzer, or in-house checkers – you […]
We’ve begun work on our next major release, version 2026.2, which we plan to introduce in a few months. After reviewing your feedback and our strategic goals, we’ve decided to focus on improving build tools, including Bazel, as well as project formats, the embedded experience, and the debugger. Here are our more specific priorities: Read […]
GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Other Agents in the AI Chat, Support for Custom Project Formats, DAP Debugging via TCP, and More CLion 2026.1 focuses on stability and improving the existing functionality, but that didn’t stop us from shipping some exciting new features. Most notably, you can now use more agents directly in the AI chat, […]
The Early Access Program (EAP) for CLion 2026.1 is nearing its end, bringing a range of improvements to debugging capabilities, build tools, project formats, and more. This post is a brief overview of what is already available in the latest EAP build. As always, EAP builds are free to use, so you can explore all […]
The Arm®v8-M architecture introduced a security extension called TrustZone®*, which splits the firmware running on the MCU into two worlds: secure and non-secure. In this blog post, I want to discuss how to work effectively on STM32 projects using this technology. We’ll get you all set up to use the latest and greatest code analysis […]
We’re now working on our next major release, which we plan to deliver in March. In our latest stable version (v2025.3), we introduced many features and enhancements, so for the next release, we’ve decided to focus on maintenance and bug fixes rather than introducing new functionality. With that in mind, we’ve prioritized the following areas […]
This is one of our largest updates ever, featuring advanced capabilities and refinements to deliver a smoother workflow. CLion 2025.3 represents one of our most ambitious releases yet. Beyond the extensive feature additions and workflow improvements, this version marks a fundamental shift in how we approach C and C++ language support – prioritizing speed and […]
This year, BazelCon was held at the Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park for a very special occasion: the tenth anniversary of Bazel ? For me, visiting from Europe, Atlanta made quite the first impression. The city felt bigger than anything I’ve seen back home, and with KubeCon happening right next door, the streets were […]
