WebStorm 2026.2 is out!
Large TypeScript codebase? This release has your back.
TS 7 ships out of the box, no migration needed. We tested it on Kibana, and project load time went from ~12s to ~3s.
What’s more, GitHub Copilot is now natively integrated (no plugin setup required), and the new agent skills manager lets your AI agents carry knowledge of your stack across every project and session.
Check out the new version to discover all the updates: jb.gg/vz7c4w
