ActiveState's Komodo IDE 5.1 Release Improves Code Navigation

PR Log (Press Release) – Apr 02, 2009 – With the new release of Komodo IDE comes improved navigation. The introduction of 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.

All platforms also benefit from improved localization and numerous bug fixes in today's release of Komodo IDE 5.1. Like all Komodo IDE updates, this release is free to all Komodo IDE 5.x license holders and ActivePerl Pro Studio and ActiveTcl Pro Studio subscribers. 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.

Komodo IDE's flexibility and extensive functionality makes it great for diverse developer teams: now the pricing is great for teams too. With the release of Komodo IDE, ActiveState is offering 5-packs of Komodo IDE for $995—regularly available at $1180 US (like buying four and getting a fifth free). Purchase Komodo IDE 5.1 5-packs from http://www.activestate.com/store/komodo. Special team pricing is only available until April 30, 2009.
