Nov 27, 2024 at 10:11 PM JetBrains Fleet 1.43 launched with an enhanced Branches Menu, AI Chat upgrades, and more
JetBrains Fleet version 1.43 has been released, introducing a new enhanced Branches menu, which provides expanded options for managing HEAD, remote, and local branches, including actions like Push, Pull, and Compare. AI Chat also sees significant upgrades with new slash commands such as /chat_new for opening a new AI tab and /chat_stop to halt generation. These commands can be disabled via the settings.json file. Additionally, users can now issue Git commands in natural language through AI chat, simplifying version control tasks.
Other notable improvements include the Context Retrieval feature in AI Chat, allowing LLMs to offer context-based answers by retrieving details of recently viewed files and reviewing recent changes in commits. Symbol search is now possible without enabling Smart Mode, and Kotlin/Wasm debugging is enhanced with the JavaScriptDebugAware interface, improving the Variable view for WebAssembly values.
For macOS users, Fleet is now available for direct download with separate disk images for Intel and Apple Silicon processors. The update also includes new Git window icons for untracked files and a consistent font size for color previews, accompanied by comprehensive release notes for a full overview of the changes.
