The long-awaited PhpStorm 2.0 release is now available and the JetBrains team would like to heartily thank all of the early adopters for their invaluable feedback.

This new release focuses on adding support for the latest standards: PHP 5.3 namespaces and closures, ECMAScript 5 and makes debugging a lot easier with a zero-configuration debugger.

The key changes include:

• Complete PHP 5.3 support including namespaces and closures
• Zend Debugger support & zero-configuration debugging in all browsers
• Command line tool support including completion for Zend_Tool and Symfony
• Full-fledged editors for SQL queries with editable query results

• Support for Leaner CSS (LESS) and SASS/SCSS extensions for CSS added
• Relax NG for XML
• Added Mercurial support
• Integration with issue trackers is extended with GitHub, PivotalTracker and RedMine
