Changelog

3.8

Latest
Added 1
  • Use Ctrl+1 and Ctrl+2 shortcuts on Windows to switch between the Tools and Projects tabs
Changed 1
  • Leftover-directory cleanup now shows progress and disables related delete controls until cleanup finishes
Fixed 3
  • IDE updates on macOS no longer incorrectly disabled when macOS reports an installation directory as non-writable; updates remain available for manual installation with instructions provided
  • Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys now work to move through project and tool lists
  • Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End keys now work as expected in navigation

From JetBrains Toolbox App

What's New in Toolbox App 3.8 IDE updates on macOS macOS was sometimes incorrectly reporting an IDE installation directory as non-writable, causing the Toolbox App to needlessly disable an update that would have otherwise succeeded. The Toolbox App now keeps these updates available for manual installation. If macOS blocks an update, the app shows instructions for resolving the issue. TBX-10297 Keyboard navigation On Windows, you can use the Ctrl+1 and Ctrl+2 shortcuts to switch between the Tools and Projects tabs. TBX-19029 You can again use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to move through project and tool lists. The Toolbox App also handles Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End as expected. TBX-15385 Leftover-directory cleanup While deleting leftover IDE directories, the Toolbox App now shows progress and disables the related delete controls until cleanup finishes. TBX-9661 See the full list of release notes here.

3.7.2

Changed 2
  • The Toolbox App now enables JVM memory optimizations by default
  • During patch updates on macOS, the Toolbox App verifies the updated bundle's code signature, removes files that are not sealed by the new build, and downloads a clean copy if verification fails
Fixed 4
  • Fixed an issue where Remote Development plugins were blocked with IDE Services
  • The Toolbox App now installs and updates IDEs reliably on macOS 27
  • The Toolbox App now launches when Windows Smart App Control is enabled
  • Improved session-expiration notification handling

Toolbox App 3.7.2 Bugfix Update

  • Fixed an issue where Remote Development plugins were blocked with IDE Services. What's New in Toolbox App 3.7 Reliable IDE installation and updates on macOS 27 The Toolbox App now installs and updates IDEs reliably on macOS 27. JVM memory optimizations by default The Toolbox App now enables JVM memory optimizations by default. The configuration tunes memory management, code-cache behavior, and garbage collection without requiring setup. TBX-18852 Fixed Windows Smart App Control compatibility The Toolbox App now launches when Windows Smart App Control is enabled. TBX-18777 Patch updates on macOS Some JetBrains IDEs create runtime files inside their macOS app bundles. During a patch update, the Toolbox App verifies the updated bundle's code signature, removes files that are not sealed by the new build, and downloads a clean copy if verification still fails. TBX-18856 Session-expiration improvement If you've seen an unexpected session-expired notification, please try the Toolbox App 3.7 update and report the issue if it persists.
