September 2025 performance summary for JetBrains/intellij-community: - Key features delivered: - Bug fix: Improve debugging robustness in macOS Bazel and Groovy hotswap environments by adding a macOS Bazel IPv6 workaround and guarding the Groovy hotswap agent before adding VM parameters, with error logging if missing. This reduces startup and debugging failures in macOS environments. (Commits: fb1db913b382ffa4d0e69434e6173bff6914c190; 902c7688302f82303cce477c924820cc7175bd0b) - Build and Testing Workflow Improvements: log top-level messages when spans are missing and enable building the entire project for specific test configurations, improving visibility and CI flexibility. (Commits: 837ba435e39c12350c97a5ee317eda12500f735e; e03c3c5be84038a3b3e23f015c61dbd8b1295c5d) - Monorepo/IDE Compatibility and Updates: bumped minimum IntelliJ IDEA version and monorepo version to latest stable releases to improve development experience and compatibility. (Commit: 468af5a66d991e1159864d2e087a8861fb9560b2) - Major bugs fixed: - See bug fix above for macOS Bazel/Groovy debugging robustness improvements. - Overall impact and accomplishments: - Increased reliability of debugging sessions on macOS, reduced issues due to missing Groovy hotswap agent, and faster, more deterministic CI/build feedback. Updated tooling aligns development with the latest IDE standards, boosting developer onboarding and long-term maintenance. - Technologies/skills demonstrated: - macOS Bazel and Groovy hotswap handling, VM parameter management with defensive checks, robust logging, enhanced build/scripts automation, and monorepo tooling upgrades for IDE compatibility.
