Important updates: GitHub Copilot support ending for JetBrains 2025.2.x

Nick Zhu

Following our previous announcement about ending support for JetBrains 2025.1.x, we're continuing to update the minimum supported IDE versions for GitHub Copilot. Our general principle is to support approximately one year of JetBrains IDE releases, allowing us to focus on newer platform capabilities while continuing to improve GitHub Copilot's features, stability, and performance. With JetBrains 2026.3 now available, the GitHub Copilot plugin will end support for JetBrains IDEs version 2025.2.x (platform build 252) in the coming months. The minimum supported IDE version will move to 2025.3.x, although we r...

Faster by Design: Performance engineering in the Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server

Ananya Garg

A database driver sits on the critical path of many applications. When a frequently executed path performs unnecessary work, even a small amount of overhead can compound across millions of operations. Over the past several releases, we have systematically profiled frequently executed paths across the Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency without changing application behavior. What began with ResultSet processing expanded into bulk copy operations, parameter metadata, Always Encrypted, and authentication. The work followed a consistent principle: measure where the ...

Important updates: GitHub Copilot support ending for JetBrains 2025.1.x

Nick Zhu

To deliver new features faster and continue improving stability and performance, the GitHub Copilot plugin will end support for JetBrains IDEs version 2025.1.x (JetBrains platform build 251). Focusing on newer IDE versions helps us bring you new capabilities more quickly and maintain a high-quality experience. Our recommendation: The minimum supported JetBrains IDE version will be 2025.2.x, but we recommend upgrading to version 2026.1 or later and update your GitHub Copilot plugin to continue receiving the latest improvements. Timeline of deprecation The GitHub Copilot plugin will discontinue support for Jet...
