PhpStorm 2020.3 Beta is now available!
Below is a roundup of the most notable new features for the upcoming 2020.3 release. The links will take you to the EAP posts published over the last few months, which contain detailed descriptions of each feature.
PHP 8
- Full support for all new PHP 8 features, with inspections to highlight incorrect usage and quick-fixes for migrating your codebase.
Phpstorm Activation Code
- Several custom PHP 8 Attributes are already available in the IDE, including #[Deprecated], #[ArrayShape], #[Immutable], #[Pure], #[ExpectedValues], and #[NoReturn].
STUBS are normal, syntactically correct PHP files that contain function & class signatures, constant definitions, etc. For all built-in PHP stuff and most standard extensions. There is no such feature in PhpStorm yet. – CrazyCoder Oct 14 '11 at 16:31 There is a way in version 2016.3 through Interpreter options – Gunith D Dec 6 '16 at 4:34.
Psalm and PHPStan
PhpStorm comes with support for popular static analysis tools and allows using them as first-class tools for highlighting code issues, as well as support for Psalm annotations and types.
Xdebug 3
The major update of the Xdebug PHP debugger extension, Xdebug 3, is supported in PhpStorm. Whether you use an older version or the new Xdebug 3, PhpStorm works fine with both. The IDE handles configuration variance for you.

- The new preview tab lets you quickly view files without opening them in the editor.
IDE
- The Search Everywhere dialog has received a number of improvements: support for math operations, searching through Git log, and renewed grouping.
- The IDE can switch to a light or dark theme automatically depending on your OS settings.
- A new system shortcut keymap for macOS simplifies shortcuts by minimizing the usage of function keys for main actions.
- Plugins can be enabled and disabled per project to save resources.
Version Control
