Details
The v1.17.0 update for GitHub Copilot for JetBrains has been released. The key highlight of this release is the introduction of enterprise-managed sandbox policies (Public Preview), allowing organization administrators to centrally control file system access, network access, proxy settings, and more. Organization policies take precedence over user settings and appear as locked within the IDE.
In terms of developer experience, Next Edit Suggestions (NES) have been improved to allow direct navigation to the next suggested edit in a different file. Additionally, global files and folders can now be included in the chat context, enabling broader project context to be reflected in prompts.
Features for terminal users have also been enhanced. By connecting to a JetBrains IDE session using the /ide command (Public Preview) in GitHub Copilot CLI, users can leverage context such as IDE selections, diagnostics, and file references directly from the terminal. Other updates include the general availability of OpenTelemetry configuration, improved MCP settings navigation, and various bug fixes.
