This release was mainly focused on improving the quality of WebStorm, but we also made sure to deliver some new features. The list of features and improvements can be divided into these categories:

• JavaScript and TypeScript: ML-assisted code completion enabled by default, improved completion suggestions for symbol names, better JSDoc syntax highlighting, and the ability to turn off inspections on a file-by-file basis.
• Frameworks and Technologies: bundled service for remote collaborative development and pair programming, support for CSS modules in Vue, HTTP client improvements, configurable scope for ESLint, JSON Lines support, and JetBrains Space integration.
• HTML and CSS: several improvements for Stylelint, a built-in HTML preview, and the ability to check the selector specificity when working with CSS.
• User Interface: adjustable editor font weight, the ability to maximize tabs when you split the editor, bundled MDN documentation, and more.
• Version Control: improvements for working with pull requests, support for Git commit message templates, a new Save to Shelf action, and configurable profiles for pre-commit inspections.
