   Komodo Edit: http://www.activestate.com/komodo_edit/downloads/

Or, if you are currently running any previous Komodo 5, click "Help >
Check for Updates...". This is a bug fix release and is recommended for
all users. See below for details.


Bug fixes
---------

Some bug fix highlights:

- The fast open (aka "Go to File") dialog had a few improvements:
     o Tab now autocompletes instead of moving to the next match. This
makes it much more natural (if you're used to the shell) to navigate
directories in the dialog. (Bug 82677)
     o Removed duplicates in "Go to File" list. (Bug 82705)
     o Current search is aborted when the "Go to File" dialog is closed.
(Bug 82529)
     o Added Ctrl+n & Ctrl+p keybindings for down/up navigation for
Emacs-heads. (Bug 82678)

- Komodo's Vi Emulation is ever improving:
     o Comment/uncomment working correctly in visual line mode. (Bug 82369)
     o Fixed visual line selection mode indent/dedent problems. (Bug 82368)
     o The cc command now maintains line indentation. (Bug 82707)


- There have been a number of improvements for using Komodo's color
schemes and package (.kpz) files. More on that in a separate post later
this week.

- One of the side-effects of the work for color schemes is the addition of
        <notificationbox id="komodo-notificationbox"/>
in komodo.xul. This may be of interest to Komodo extension authors that
would like to use a notificationbox instead of alert dialogs or other
mechanisms to give feedback to users.

Eventually I think Komodo's editor tabs should also grow a notification
box -- as Firefox has one for each browser tab.


- Again, goofy from babelzilla has been diligently providing
localization patches for Komodo: bug 82580, bug 82819, bug 82821, bug
82822, bug 82824, bug 82825.

- A bug where terminating run commands on Windows would not always work
was fixed. (Bug 82655) The right answer for being able to kill a process
and its child processes on Windows is to use a Windows Job object.
Answer courtesy of Benjamin Smedberg's killableprocess.py. Komodo now
uses code based on this.

Komodo extensions
-----------------

For those who haven't noticed, Stan Angeloff has been doing some
spectacular work in his HTML Toolkit and Tab Abbreviations Komodo
extensions.

What about 5.1.2?
-----------------

There was a bug in the Komodo 5.1.2 release from yesterday that broke
attempts to terminate processes on Windows. This most commonly could
affect debugging in Komodo IDE.

Your license entitles you to run Komodo IDE on any of the platforms we
