Komodo Edit 4.0: Free Multi-Language Editor for Dynamic Languages
=========================

VANCOUVER, BC, January 23, 2007â??ActiveState Software Inc., the leading
provider of development tools and services for dynamic languages, today
announced the release of Komodo Edit 4.0, a free editor based on the
award-winning Komodo IDE.

Komodo Edit 4.0 delivers powerful 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.

Also today, 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. For more

"Our goal is to create uncompromised, extensible tools built
specifically for dynamic language programmers. Our language
distributions have always been free, and now Komodo Edit extends that
community support into our development tools," said Matt Herdon, Product
Manager, Komodo. "This is a world-class, free editor with code
intelligence. It's a great introduction to Komodo IDE, a product truly
unique in the depth of support for dynamic languages and web application
development, but also a powerful tool in its own right."

ActiveState has recently launched the beta release of a community
support site, where Komodo users can share code, custom extensions and
knowledge. The site currently hosts user forums and FAQs, and will be
expanded soon to include resources for creating and sharing extensions.
The site is available now at http://support.activestate.com
