Build Number Ranges
Use this reference of build number ranges to specify the correct since-build
and until-build
values in your plugin descriptor.
Setting the actual values in plugin.xml is usually managed by patchPluginXml
Gradle task, see Patching the Plugin Configuration File for details.
Starting with IntelliJ IDEA 9 beta, a multi-part build number is used, such as IU-162.94
.
The number consists of the following parts:
Product ID (
IC
for IDEA Community,IU
for IDEA Ultimate,RM
for RubyMine,PY
for PyCharm, etc.)Branch number (
162
)Build number in the branch (
94
)
Since version 2016.2 of the IntelliJ Platform, branch numbers are based on the YYYY.R
IDE release version numbers. The branch number takes the last two digits of the year and the R
release number. For example, 162
for 2016.2, 163
for 2016.3, 171
for 2017.1. In this scheme, IU-162.94
corresponds to the 2016.2 release.
Starting with 2016.2, the build number may also have multiple components: IU-162.94
, IU-162.94.11
, IU-162.94.11.256.42
. This gives more flexibility for third-party plugins and IDE developers. Plugins may specify compatibility versions more precisely; IDE vendors may have build numbers based on a specific IntelliJ Platform version and specify additional internal version (e.g. 256.42
in XX-162.94.11.256.42
) to allow plugin developers for their IDE to specify compatibility.
Multi-part build numbers can also be used in the since-build
and until-build
attributes of idea-version
. Usually you should omit the product ID and use only the branch number and build number, for example:
