JetBrains is sunsetting Kotlin Notebook — no calendar date, just a version cliff at IntelliJ IDEA 2026.3

Another quiet night on the fifty monitored feeds, with one confirmed item from discovery: JetBrains will stop maintaining Kotlin Notebook, unbundling it from IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2 and shipping no compatible plugin from 2026.3 on. There is no shutdown date — the sunset is defined by IDE version — and the plugin lives on as open source. Meanwhile the end-of-July countdown cluster is still on track: nothing passed today, but AWS SageMaker Model Monitor lands tomorrow.

Quiet again on the fifty monitored feeds — no new shutdowns, no moved dates. Discovery turned up one confirmed item worth a full entry, and the end-of-July cluster we have been tracking is intact heading into its busiest two days.

New to the calendar

  • JetBrains is sunsetting Kotlin Notebook (source) — JetBrains will stop maintaining Kotlin Notebook, the cell-based interactive scratchpad bundled into IntelliJ IDEA. The transition is marked by IDE version, not a date: it stays bundled through v2026.1, is unbundled and frozen (no new features) in v2026.2, and gets no compatible plugin from v2026.3 onward. Nothing breaks today, and for 2026.2 the plugin is still installable from the marketplace — but once you move to 2026.3 there is no JetBrains-supported build. The plugin source is being published on GitHub under Apache 2.0 so the community can continue it, and JetBrains points data-focused users to Kotlin DataFrame, which now works directly in regular Gradle/Maven projects. Because JetBrains gave a version boundary and not a calendar date, this entry carries no countdown — dating it would be a guess.

Passing today

Nothing passed today.

Still counting down

Everything below is already on the calendar and was re-checked against its primary source tonight — all unchanged:

From the monitored feeds

Nothing changed in the watched sources tonight — no new shutdowns and no moved dates across all fifty feeds. Tonight’s addition came from the discovery layer again, which is the pattern lately: the monitored registry is the backbone for dates already on the calendar, and discovery is where a new sunset shows up before it reaches any clean changelog. IntelliJ IDEA’s blog is a candidate for its own monitored source next.
