&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can now &lt;a href="http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.1/final/"&gt;download NetBeans IDE 6.1&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In NetBeans IDE 6.1, we improved performance (40% faster start-up) and we extended scripting language support beyond Java technology by providing a rich set of features for C/C++, JavaScript and the Ruby language, including Ruby on Rails.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The NetBeans Installer now also includes an Early Access preview of NetBeans for PHP developers. Use the Plugins manager to get additional functionality such as a JavaScript debugger, support for ClearCase file versioning, AXIS web services, and the Hibernate framework.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;NetBeans IDE 6.1 adds to the improvements made in version 6.0: the new smarter editor, next generation of the ground-breaking GUI builder (formerly known as Project Matisse), visual mobile designer, integrated profiler, Mercurial file versioning, and Java EE 5 support.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Six reasons to &lt;a href="http://download.netbeans.org/netbeans/6.1/final/"&gt;download&lt;/a&gt; and try NetBeans IDE 6.1 now:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Advance JavaScript Editing Support&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Roman tells you why so many people started using NetBeans as Ruby IDE, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Osvaldo demonstrates advanced profiling on real code examples, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Janice introduces you to the IDE localization teams, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Peter uses the NetBeans IDE to create RESTful Web Services, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Emilian shows you how he builds NetBeans Modules with Maven, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Geertjan introduces you to projects that add  support for more languages to the IDE using Schlieman, and &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fabrizio shows you how he uses the Visual Library to do graph manipulation and visualization beyond the mere basics.&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
