Ko<b> modo IDE 5.0 Release Enhances Feature Set for Development Teams</b><br>
Team Tools and Pricing Added to Cross-Platform IDE for Dynamic Languages<br>
<br>
<b> Vancouver, BC. November 4, 2008—</b>ActiveState Software, the
dynamic languages company, released <a
href="http://www.activestate.com/Products/komodo_ide/latest_release.mhtml"> Komodo
IDE 5.0</a> today. Komodo IDE 5.0 enhances the award-winning integrated
development environment with new and improved features for developers
working in small teams.<br>
<br>
With multi-language editing and debugging, code sharing and
productivity tools, easy customization and extensibility, friendly
multi-platform and user-based permanent licensing, an open source
foundation (with <a
href="http://www.activestate.com/Products/komodo_ide/komodo_edit.mhtml"> Komodo
Edit</a> and the <a href="http://www.openkomodo.com/">Open Komodo
Project</a> ), and highly-praised support and active user community,
Komodo IDE is designed for small and diverse developer teams. <br>
<br>
The new release builds on Komodo IDE's team strengths with new support
for the <a href="http://git.or.cz/"> Git</a>, <a
href="http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/"> Mercurial</a> (hg), and <a
href="http://bazaar-vcs.org/"> Bazaar</a> distributed version control
systems (in addition to the already supported <a
href="http://subversion.tigris.org/"> Subversion</a>, <a
href="http://www.perforce.com/"> Perforce</a>, and <a
href="http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/"> CVS</a>). And smart cross-SCC system
checkout wizardry makes it easier to get to work on shared repositories.<br>
<br>
Sharing code across a team is also better with Komodo IDE 5.0's
improved code formatting. Consistent formatting makes reading and
maintaining code easier, so Komodo IDE makes it simple with built-in
code formatting tools and the ability to easily hook in external code
formatting tools (like <a href="http://beautifyphp.sourceforge.net/"> PHP
Beautifier</a> , <a href="http://perltidy.sourceforge.net/">Perltidy</a>,
and <a href="http://astyle.sourceforge.net/"> astyle</a>).<br>
<br>
The Komodo IDE 5.0 beta release had developers <a
href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=Komodo+IDE"> a-twitter</a>,
prompting tweets including "Komodo IDE 5 is looking pretty schweeeeet,"
"Je teste Komodo 5 qui est vraiment un très bon IDE pour le web," and
"For people that haven't been following the 5.0 development of Komodo
IDE: bunch of goodies!!!"<br>
<br>
Komodo IDE 5.0 is now built on the <a
href="http://www.mozilla.org/developer/"> Mozilla 1.9</a> codebase (the
same codebase as <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/"> Firefox
3</a> ) and Python 2.6, so it's speedier, prettier (particularly the
more native look on OS X), and has new features to aid in stability.<br>
<br>
The Komodo IDE dev team added top-requested features like multiple
top-level windows and cleaner user interfaces for tabs and sidebars
too. To see the complete release notes, visit <a
