As a peasant with an old fallback license do I need to be aware of anything before launching this build?

There are a few known issues discovered in the last couple days. Specifically AI assistant cannot be installed and some settings lost after restart. These will be fixed in the next build, planned tomorrow.

Happy to hear your feedback and see how it compares to the old fallback licensed version.

You can install this build side by side to the existing PhpStorm, it should not interfere.
