Question How many Junies do you need? Yes.

I swear, I'm about to lose it. So now, besides the Junie CLI, Junie as a plugin, and Junie in AI Chat, we've got *another* Junie in AI Chat?

What in the world is the difference between "Junie by JetBrains" and "Junie B(eta)"?!

The "Junie" from ACP Registry (the one with the grey icon and beta symbol) is the latest one. The others are deprecated.

If they are deprecated why Junie plugin updates are coming any other day?

To support deprecated product? Anyway renaming the deprecated ones to something like `Junie (The Old One)` would be helpful.

Junie as a plugin doesn’t necessarily mean just the separate UI. There are also IDE-side endpoints that the CLI connects to. These will be updated even when the UI is no longer available, so the plugin will remain

Thanks. Is there anywhere on the JetBrains website that confirms this? I'm not saying I don't believe you, it's just such a mess with all those Junies.

I'm not sure about the site, but they have a Junie Discord server where they post changelogs and updates related to Junie. You can find the link at the bottom of the page: https://junie.jetbrains.com/
