What is Early Access Program (EAP)?

We at JetBrains believe that making tools for developers should greatly involve listening to developers. Our Early Access Programs let development community closely participate in discussions about product and influence development planning, from early stages onwards.
Early Access Program allows you to try pre-release versions of our software to evaluate features that will be added to the next release.

Be Warned
It is important to distinguish EAP from traditional pre-release software. Please note that the quality of EAP versions may at times be way below even usual beta standards.

PyCharm 2.5.1 has been released. Download it from http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/download/

    There are several things that I would like to see improved about EAP program.

    • Auto-update mechanism, this should work just like the one on release but use the EAP specific url to test for EAP releases.
    • A simple link from the home pages to EAP page, currently you have to browse 4-5 pages until you find the EAP download page
    • Have consistent names for EAP builds "Product EAP", without build name in the folder name. Why? This breaks shortcuts to the executables and you may end-up having several versions installed and running the old one instead of the latest one.
    • Have someone take a look at http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/IDEA-65450

      • EAP builds do support auto-update as long as you update from a build to the next one without skipping any builds.
      • A link at jetbrains.com will be provided later.
      • We don't plan to remove the build number from the folder name.
