Hello all,

I'm happy to announce that we have released Komodo 5.0.0 alpha 2:

   http://downloads.activestate.com/Komodo/releases/5.0.0a2/
   http://docs.activestate.com/komodo/5.0/

Significant changes since alpha 1:

- We have early support for the Mercurial (hg) and Bazaar (bzr) source
code control systems! (Note: We have support for Git as well, but
unfortunately a buglet in Git support slipped into this alpha. The next
release will fix that.)
- We fixed a crash that kept a lot of people from trying Komodo IDE
alpha 1 on Windows.
- We've *started* doing some UI changes for the sidebars and tabs.
Currently that work is unfinished. At best you may start to see where we
are going. The final result should end up being a lot more usable.


Known issues:
- Auto-update does not work for this release. We had a couple of issues
related to our upgrade to Mozilla 1.9. We should have auto-updating
sorted out for beta.
- Mac OS X/PowerPC builds are still not fully working. Mac OS X/*Intel* 
builds are fine though.


I'm happy to mention that we've had some great external localization 
contributions, in particular from Davide Fianco -- who
has been building excellent Komodo extensions for a while now. I look 
forward to seeing some good Komodo localizations by the time Komodo 5.0 
goes final.


Please give us your feedback. In particular, the feedback on alpha 1 was
very helpful in tracking down one crash.
