Hello,
We are releasing the first Beta build of Komodo IDE/Edit 8.5.0 - you can
download it directly from the links below:
http://www.activestate.com/komodo-ide/downloads
http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit/downloads
This is a pre-release build, and as such, there may be bugs. Please help
us test it out and provide feedback on the new features.
You can (and should) install Komodo 8.5 to a separate directory, as this
will allow you to continue using the official 8.0 release (if you have
it installed).
Note that we'll be creating a number of 8.5 beta builds over the coming
months, with an official 8.5.0 final release expected around Q4 2013.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*8.5.0 Overview*
**
*
*Code Refactoring*: The new Komodo refactoring component has these
smart code-transformation capabilities:
o *Variable Renaming*: quickly and easily rename variables in the
editor. It uses inline markers and multiple cursor selections to
easily change the name of a code variable.
o *Method Extraction*: move parts of your code into a new
function. Any variables used in the selected text are refactored
into function arguments and are then passed to the extracted method.
Note that code refactoring will only work with languages that
provide code intelligence information (i.e. PHP, Perl, Python, Ruby,
JavaScript).
*
*Breadcrumbs*: A new file and directory navigation bar has been
added to the Komodo window. This navigation bar allows you to easily
find and open related files. You can use mouse and/or keyboard to
navigate entries and easily filter down the list of files.
*
*Abyss theme*: A new dark theme for the Komodo user interface has
been added. This theme affects the Komodo UI elements outside of the
main editor (i.e. different from Komodo color schemes which only
affect the main editor colors). You can enable Abyss in the Komodo
/Appearance/ preferences.
*
*Open Files*: The Open Files widget (in the left Komodo Pane) now
includes additional sorting and grouping options. You can group by
language, file extension, directory, location and even group by a
custom regular expression.
*
*Code Intelligence Out-Of-Process*: Komodo's code intelligence
system (code scanning, calltips, completions, goto definition,
refactoring, etc...) is now handled by an external process. Mostly
you won't notice any changes in functionality, but this does boost
Komodo's responsiveness whilst editing.
*
*Updated Platform*: Komodo has received a number of updates to its
underlying code base. Komodo now uses Mozilla 24 and Python 2.7.5.
