Komodo Dynamic Languages IDE 5.1 Released
ActiveState Software has announced the release of Komodo IDE 5.1. Komodo 5.1 claims to provide dynamic language expertise for Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Tcl, plus JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and XML, and template languages like RHTML, Template-Toolkit, HTML-Smarty, and Django.
The new release provides improved navigation. The history feature lets users browse though the files and buffer locations they’ve been editing recently with just forward and back buttons and a drop list in the toolbar. Find Highlighting enables visual markers for find/search matches, independent of the syntax coloring information. Hyperlinks adds new code intelligence: Ctrl+mouse-hover will hyperlink interesting regions in the text–more than just “Go to Definition” links. And a new “fast open” dialog eases opening the files within a current working directory, files within the current project, recently opened/closed files as well as switching to a currently opened file.
Today’s release of Komodo IDE 5.1 also includes support for a new platform: Linux/x86_64. Komodo IDE’s first native 64-bit platform build reflects the growth in Linux x86_64 installs. The latest release of Komodo IDE 5.1 is available for download now from http://www.activestate.com/komodo/ and new users can take Komodo IDE 5.1 for a test drive with a free 21-day trial. The free, open source editor Komodo Edit can be found at http://www.activestate.com/komodo_edit/
