Summary
IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2.1, announced on August 10, patches a cluster of bugs in JetBrains’ latest Java and Kotlin IDE release.
Key fixes restore correct execution order for Markdown shell scripts, make undo work again after Optimize imports on the fly, and stop terminal tabs moved to the editor from restarting sessions.
The update also removes exceptions tied to the new Resolve Conflicts mechanism in Mercurial projects and makes Java formatting respect the Smart tabs setting.
Users can install 2026.2.1 from inside the IDE, through JetBrains Toolbox, via snaps on Ubuntu, or by downloading it from the JetBrains website.
