May 2026 – AppMap IntelliJ plugin: Delivered a robust, manifest-driven CLI distribution and versioning system that centralizes download, update, caching, and platform-specific distribution with manifest-based updates and version tracking. Implemented manifest-based discovery with SHA-256 verification and enterprise manifest URL support (appMap.manifest.appmapUrl) with user overrides in the UI. Replaced legacy GitHub tag-parsing with manifest-based binaries to improve reliability and testability. Migrated CLI cache to platform-specific OS caches with versioned binary filenames, consolidating cross-IDE caches and enabling shared binaries between IDEs. Introduced symlink-based current version tracking (e.g., ~/.appmap/bin/appmap → ~/.cache/appmap/appmap-linux-x64-1.2.3), with Windows fallback, enabling immediate visibility across IDEs. Refactored asset handling to isolate platform/local concerns (CliPlatform utility and LocalAssetRepository) and decouple DefaultAppLandDownloadService, laying groundwork for the manifest-driven strategy. Removed per-download pruning to simplify testing and caching. Overall impact: reduced duplicate downloads, faster updates, and improved cross-IDE consistency and enterprise deployment capability.
