On the AI side, the release adds an agent skills manager for persistent domain knowledge, support for third-party OpenAI-compatible providers in AI completion, and native GitHub Copilot integration via a JetBrains-Microsoft partnership. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Does RustRover support navigation between axum routes and their handlers? Yes, starting with RustRover 2026.2, the IDE understands routes in axum projects, enabling URL resolution, endpoint discovery, and navigation between routes and handlers, with inlay hints showing endpoint relationships. It also adds reqwest client call generation and navigation to reduce manual setup when writing HTTP client code. _See how daily.dev surfaces IDE release notes for developers tracking axum tooling improvements._ ### How do I get code completion and analysis for Ferrocene Rust toolchains in an IDE? RustRover 2026.2 adds code insight for Ferrocene, including completion, navigation, inspections, and code analysis, supporting a Ferrocene toolchain managed by criticalup and linked to rustup. The IDE also provides setup guidance and clearer error messages to help configure the toolchain correctly. _daily.dev helps engineers evaluating qualified Rust toolchains like Ferrocene stay on top of IDE support._ ### Is GitHub Copilot natively integrated into JetBrains IDEs like RustRover? Yes, as of RustRover 2026.2, GitHub Copilot is a natively integrated agent in JetBrains IDEs following a direct partnership between JetBrains and Microsoft, replacing the previous ACP Registry setup. It is accessible from the agent picker in AI chat, requires OAuth authentication with a GitHub account, and needs an active GitHub Copilot subscription. _Developers weighing AI coding assistants across IDEs can track integrations like this via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Axum Support in RustRover 2026.2: Build Web Backends Faster](https://daily.dev/posts/axum-support-in-rustrover-2026-2-build-web-backends-faster-u26dy7lsd) · JetBrains · 9 upvotes · 0 comments - [RustRover vs VS Code\+rust analyzer: Cargo, Debugging, and AI](https://daily.dev/posts/rustrover-vs-vs-code-rust-analyzer-cargo-debugging-and-ai-7fiymaemh) · JetBrains · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Rustup update: our plans for the 1.30 release cycle](https://daily.dev/posts/rustup-update-our-plans-for-the-1-30-release-cycle-ihffsazur) · Inside Rust Blog · 16 upvotes · 0 comments - [Changelog \#322](https://daily.dev/posts/changelog-322-u0ug2p0cz) · rust-analyzer · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [This Week in Rust 661 · This Week in Rust](https://daily.dev/posts/this-week-in-rust-661-this-week-in-rust-qokogo7pt) · This Week in Rust · 12 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#github](https://daily.dev/tags/github), [#rust](https://daily.dev/tags/rust) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-in-rustrover-2026-2-lkrxgvaeh) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"What’s New in RustRover 2026.2","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-in-rustrover-2026-2-lkrxgvaeh","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-in-rustrover-2026-2-lkrxgvaeh"},"datePublished":"2026-07-22T12:13:58.055Z","dateModified":"2026-09-14T06:38:13.650Z","description":"RustRover 2026.2 ships several notable improvements: axum and reqwest support with URL resolution, endpoint discovery, and route-handler navigation; Ferrocene...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/cc0c1e0d27da099d9b11812ac4edc1a4?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/cc0c1e0d27da099d9b11812ac4edc1a4?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"JetBrains","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"JetBrains","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/53ecf0c676f34b3896ee109609d91efa","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/jetbrains"},"commentCount":1,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-in-rustrover-2026-2-lkrxgvaeh","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":24},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":1}],"keywords":"github,rust","timeRequired":"PT6M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"JetBrains","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/jetbrains"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"What’s New in RustRover 2026.2"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/what-s-new-in-rustrover-2026-2-lkrxgvaeh#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Does RustRover support navigation between axum routes and their handlers?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes, starting with RustRover 2026.2, the IDE understands routes in axum projects, enabling URL resolution, endpoint discovery, and navigation between routes and handlers, with inlay hints showing endpoint relationships.
