IDEA X and support for IDEA 9
IDEA X is nearing completion and has undergone a lot of internal changes, which make it necessary to create a specialized version of Osmorc for IDEA X, as the IDEA 9 version is not compatible to IDEA X. The IDEA X compatible branch of Osmorc will be version 1.3.x., while version 1.2.x will be the IDEA 9 branch of the plugin. Version 1.3.x will be available with the next EAP and will have the same amount of functionality as the upcoming version 1.2.2 for IDEA 9. Version 1.2.2 will be released with IDEA 9.0.4 - should JetBrains decide to release a 9.0.4 version of IntelliJ. If no 9.0.4 is being released, 1.2.2 will be uploaded to the plugin repository and can be updated manually using IntelliJs plugin manager.
With the release of IDEA X, development in the 1.2.x series for IDEA 9 will be discontinued and version 1.3.x and above is the only branch that will receive new features. Bug fixing will focus on 1.3.x as well however on a case by case basis fixes to major bugs will be backported to 1.2.x.
As it has been the case with IDEA 9 Osmorc will come bundled with IDEA X Ultimate edition so no manual upgrades are necessary. Users of the community edition can download the latest version of Osmorc using the plugin manager.
