Updates in V11

• In-place Refactorings – UI for refactorings has been improved for better usability.
• Event Log view – A single place to see all IDE notifications and take action where needed.
• VCS Support Improvements - New 'Digest' view means you spend less time on routine VCS tasks such as pre-commit reviews.
• Git Log Graph - Highlight commits and provides actions like create tag/branch and checkout revision.
• GitHub - Bundled integration now supports Gists creation for sharing your code instantly from the IDE.
• Diff - Shows class and file comparison. Folder diff also allows merging folders.
• Play Framework - IntelliJ IDEA now supports Web development using the Play Java Web framework. The IDE provides syntax highlighting, formatting, navigation and completion for built-in tags.
• Spring - Improved performance for large models.
• Android Development - IntelliJ IDEA supports development for Google Android with the latest Android 4 SDK (Ice Cream Sandwich). A 'Preview' pane displays the UI as you code. Various options such as screen size, target platform version and theme allow more control on what is displayed.
• Testing and Debugging – An interactive XSLT debugger is included with IntelliJ IDEA 11 for debugging  XSLT stylesheets. JSLint / JSHint integration allows you to check your JavaScript code quality as you write it by running external validators. The JavaScript Debugger lets you customize properties of an object that you see while debugging. This works for both Firefox and Chrome JS debuggers.
• Web Servers - Out-of-the-box support for JBoss 7, WebSphere 8 and Jersey 1.10 Web servers.
