ActiveState Previews Komodo 4.0 at O'Reilly Open Source Convention 
Award-winning IDE for dynamic languages adds end-to-end web development
capabilities

PORTLAND, OR. - July 25, 2006 - ActiveState Software Inc., the leading
provider of tools and services for dynamic languages, today announced the
technical pre-release of Komodo 4.0, introducing advanced support for Web
2.0 technologies to the award-winning IDE for dynamic languages. The release
is available for download at: http://www.activestate.com/komodo/beta

Komodo 4.0 builds on rock-solid support for dynamic languages such as Perl,
Python, PHP, Ruby, and Tcl, by introducing first-class IDE support for
JavaScript, enhanced project tracking and deployment capabilities, and
support for editing files on secure servers. This release also adds custom
language syntax definition, allowing for easy support of web-centric
templating languages such as Rails' RHTML.

"Increasingly, Web 2.0 development requires users to spend as much time in
the design layer as they do in back-end business logic," says David Ascher,
CTO at ActiveState. "With advanced support for web scripting languages, and
the addition of high-value tools for managing, testing, and debugging
client/server interactions, Komodo 4.0 allows developers to manage the
complete webdev process within a single, feature-rich workspace." 
 
In addition, the 4.0 release adds Vi bindings, enabling Vi users to enjoy
familiar, keyboard-driven commands while enjoying the advanced capabilities
of an IDE.

Komodo 4.0 will be showcased at this week's O'Reilly Open Source Convention
(OSCON), July 24-28, in Portland, Oregon. In addition, ActiveState is
previewing a beta release of PPM4, the updated Perl Package Manager for
downloading and installing pre-compiled versions of most CPAN modules; and
new self-help user forums. Users can register to be notified of all
