Note that this build is of alpha quality and hence not recommended for 
full daily use. We know that there are some rough edges in there but 
wanted to get it out sooner to get feedback.


New in Komodo 4.0 Alpha 1

- JavaScript debugging in Firefox. Install the JavaScript debugging 
Firefox extension and debug JavaScript code in Komodo.

- User-Defined Languages (UDL). Improved support for multi-language 
files such as Ruby on Rails RHTML. New UDL functionality lets you create 
Komodo extensions for custom language support.

- Live Folders. Komodo projects now offer Live Folders that mirror file 
system layout.


License Requirements

- Komodo 4.0 Alpha 1 has a built-in license that will expire in one 
month. We'll have a new build for you to play with before then.

- This build can be installed alongside previous versions of Komodo.
