ActiveState Software Inc., the leading provider of development tools and services for dynamic languages, has announced the release of Komodo Edit 4.0, a free editor based on the award-winning Komodo IDE.

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 information, purchases and free trials, go to http://www.activestate.com/komodo_ide.

"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.
