Portland, OR (PRWEB) July 27, 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.
