ActiveState Releases Komodo 7, "World's Fiercest IDE"

VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwire - Feb 1, 2012) - ActiveState, whose software enables developers and enterprises to innovate from code to cloud smarter, faster, and safer, announced today the release of Komodo IDE 7: The world's fiercest IDE. Komodo is an award-winning, professional integrated development environment (IDE) for Python, PHP, Ruby, JavaScript, Perl, web and cloud development.

Komodo IDE 7 offers groundbreaking new features, in addition to technical and performance improvements. Integration with Stackato, ActiveState's cloud platform for creating your Private Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), provides a smooth desktop-to-cloud development path. Komodo Sync allows users to access their saved preferences on any computer, while Code Collaboration enables real-time, multi-user editing for faster team programming. Komodo IDE 7 also supports new languages and frameworks including Node.js, CoffeeScript, LESS, SCSS, EJS, and Mojolicious.

"The development community is changing rapidly," noted Jeff Hobbs, Vice President of Engineering at ActiveState. "Users are demanding more efficiency in their coding, they're adopting new languages and frameworks, and they're moving applications into the cloud. Komodo IDE 7 has evolved to meet these needs, staying on the leading edge of new languages and enhancing all the tools from previous versions." Continued Hobbs, "Early feedback is extremely positive -- Komodo IDE 7 will build on Komodo's reputation as the go-to multi-language IDE."

What's New in Komodo IDE 7

Deploy to the Cloud with Komodo IDE 7 and Stackato
Deploy directly from the desktop to the cloud using new integration with Stackato. With the Stackato client interface, you can test and debug applications in the environment that they will be deployed.

Synchronize Multiple Workstations
Komodo Sync lets you securely share your important data across multiple machines, including toolbox items, remote server accounts and templates. With per-user licensing, Sync makes it easier for you to work across multiple computers and operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux).

Collaborate in Real Time
Speed up team programming by editing with other users simultaneously. Code Collaboration shares changes with other Komodo IDE 7 users that you authorize, in real time, with helpful highlights to identify what changes were made.

Code Profiling for Better CPU Usage
Highlight code hotspots and detect performance issues faster. Code Profiling generates a graph of your application, so that you can see exactly where and how your program is spending CPU time.

More Languages and Frameworks
Komodo IDE 7 has full support for Node.js (editing / syntax checking, code intelligence, debugging), and adds editing for CoffeeScript, LESS, SCSS, EJS and Mojolicious.

Performance
Built on Mozilla 7.0 -- the same codebase as Firefox 4 -- Komodo IDE 7 gives you a better user experience with less loading time. Enjoy faster start-up, a better browser preview and unmatched stability.

And More
Komodo IDE 7 also adds syntax checking within multi-language documents, enhanced navigation and searching, and smarter auto-complete.
