Updates in this release

Updates in V2.0

• New JavaScript specification - EcmaScript 5
  Recently JavaScript specification was incrementally advanced with a common coding pitfalls prevention mode (aka "strict mode"). WebStorm will help you use these new productive features. If the IDE finds a "use strict" statement in your JavaScript file, the editor will mark as errors all accesses of undefined global variables, duplicated parameters / property names, and usages of the delete operator for unqualified variables.
• Organizer for JavaScript libraries
  To help you organize your work with JavaScript Libraries, WebStorm now includes a simple-to-use libraries organizer.
• SASS 3 Support
  Sass is an extension of CSS3, adding nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more. It's translated to well-formatted, standard CSS using PhpStorm. WebStorm supports Find usages and rename for mixins and SCSS variables, as well as inspections for unresolved mixins and variables.
• Mercurial Support
  Pulling and pushing changes from IDE, visual merging.
• Leaner CSS
  LESS provides extension to CSS with variables, mixins, operations and nested rules, and uses CSS syntax.
• Relax NG for XML
  Relax NG is an alternative to W3C XML Schema language, which is said to be very complex and hard to learn/use/maintain. WebStorm provides completion and validation of XML documents associated with Relax NG schemas. It also allows editing Relax NG files in XML with on-the-fly error checking, completion, documentation lookup and more.
• New Git Log UI
  Now you will be able to filter changes by branch, tag or developer, highlight changes made in a specific folder, or show differences right in the IDE.
• GitHub Integration
  Now you'll be able to check out your existing GitHub repository right from the IDE and auto-open it as a project.
