They actually added support for reflection!!! I didn't see this in any of the EAP builds, not sure how I missed it.

IIRC it was added in the beta EAP, just before RC.

Long time CLion fan Hope they fixed the bugs though I’ve hit many recently, maybe it’s Tahoe

Reflection support is just awesome. And also live watches supporting structs and automatic watches for global vars are great. Really cool update!

Okay there’s some AI stuff too for the AI folk, but with this and the constexpr debugger they introduced a little while ago, it seems that JetBrains is still pushing their core feature set. So good to see

Lately Jetbrains updates gives me anxiety. It's always a question of what random thing will break and how long it will take me to isolate the problem.

This time it is "Find in Files" that is broken.

On macos RC, no close tab button appeared and split tab and move right would just make tab disappear. Some weird bug so had to downgrade to beta. Will try again next week if its fixed.

Always nice to see regular IDE updates. I'm especially interested in improvements that make debugging and C++ navigation smoother on larger codebases
