VANCOUVER, British Columbia--ActiveState, the leading provider of tools and services for dynamic
languages, has released Komodo IDE 4.2, the latest update to the
multi-platform, multi-language integrated development environment (IDE)
for advanced web development.
Komodo IDE helps free developers to focus on advanced web development.
This release incorporates more useful features like auto-update,
necessary features like bug fixes, and nice-to-have features like soft
characters, plus improved functionality for dynamic languages.
Key additions to this release are auto updates and soft characters. Auto
updates means users don't need to check for the latest features or
reinstall Komodo to get the latest version. Soft characters is a new
feature for automatic insertion of closing brackets, braces and
parentheses.
“I've been a Komodo customer for almost five
years, and couldn't imagine using another editor for my work with
dynamic languages. Komodo IDE syntax highlights and auto-completes my
Perl, Ruby, XML, SQL, HTML and CSS, allowing my team to write better
code more quickly than we ever have,” said
Chris Gerber of Pfizer Global Manufacturing.
“Version 4.1 added Ruby on Rails support that
went beyond my expectations, including the ability to create databases
directly from the YAML file. With the addition of soft characters and
automatic updates in version 4.2, things are only getting better.”
As with previous releases, Komodo IDE features intelligent tools for
regular expressions, team development, customization and unparalleled
extensibility. The result is a powerful coding environment for dynamic
languages such as Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby and Tcl and for nclient-side
Ajax technologies such as CSS, HTML, JavaScript and XML. A single
license covers users across Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Today ActiveState also released the latest iteration of Komodo Edit, a
free multi-platform, multi-language editor for dynamic languages and
Ajax technologies based on the award-winning Komodo IDE. Komodo IDE and
Komodo Edit are now available from www.activestate.com.
These releases follow last week's news that ActiveState launched a new
initiative to create an open source platform that promotes open
standards. The Open Komodo Project will support the open web and web
standards, fill a need for developer tools in the open web technology
stack, and drive further innovation for Komodo IDE and Komodo Edit. Read
