What changes for Community Edition users?

Question

I have been using IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition. How does this change affect me?

Answer

In the 2025.3 release, IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition will seamlessly update to IntelliJ IDEA, providing additional features at no cost and enhancing your productivity without disrupting your workflow. Version 2025.2 is the final standalone release of IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition.

For those who prefer a pure open-source build, it will be available on GitHub, beginning with the 2025.2 release.
