ActiveState Introduces Komodo Edit 4.0

ActiveState Software has announced the release of Komodo Edit 4.0, a free editor based on Komodo IDE. Komodo Edit 4.0 delivers editing capabilities for dynamic languages including Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby and Tcl, plus support for browser-side code including JavaScript, CSS, HTML and XML. Background syntax checking and syntax coloring catch errors immediately, while AutoComplete and CallTips guide developers as they code. It is available now on Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.

Other features include a project manager, for flexible organization of all project elements, and the Toolbox, for storing configurable "Run" commands, macros, code snippets, URLs, Live and Virtual Folders, templates, menus, toolbars and remote files. Toolbox items can be distributed to other Komodo users. Komodo Edit 4.0 also allows users to easily extend its architecture, with support for adding advanced capabilities through Firefox-style .xpi extensions.

Additionally, ActiveState announced the release of Komodo IDE 4.0, the first unified workspace for end-to-end development of dynamic web applications. A rich feature set for client-side Ajax languages, coupled with advanced support for dynamic languages, enables developers to quickly and easily create robust web apps. Komodo IDE 4.0 features comprehensive editing and debugging, plus intelligent tools for regular expressions, team development, customization and unparalleled extensibility. The result is a powerful coding environment for framework stacks like Ruby on Rails and CakePHP, and client libraries such as the Yahoo! UI Library and Dojo. A single license covers users across Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
