Komodo 4.0, ActiveState's IDE for dynamic languages, is due to be released next Tuesday.
The IDE has been re-engineered for end-to-end development of dynamic Web applications, with tools for dynamic languages and Web application frameworks.
Komodo allows for editing and debugging of server-side and browser code. Technologies supported include: JavaScript, HTML, Cascading Style Sheets, XML, Perl, Ruby, Rails and Tcl (Tool Command Language). Supportive platforms include Mac OS X, Windows and Linux.
New in version 4.0 is a DOM (Document Object Model) Viewer, which is a graphical tool presenting a tree view of XML and HTML files. Also featured is HTTP Inspector, for viewing and adjusting browser-server requests. HTTP Inspector allows for correcting application behavior.
A new JavaScript interactive shell helps uncover bugs in code.
Programmers can extend the IDE as well. ActiveState is offering a new community site with resources for developing and sharing extensions. Also featured are forums, FAQs and contests. The site is currently in a beta stage of development.
A new license for Komodo 4.0 costs $245 until February 28. After that, the price is $295. Upgrade pricing also is available.
