Hello,

The first Komodo IDE 8.0.0 alpha (pre-release) is now available for 
testing. You can download it here:

    http://downloads.activestate.com/Komodo/releases/8.0.0a1/

This is the first of many Komodo 8 pre-release builds, which will lead 
to an official Komodo 8.0.0 final release in 2013. The major changes in 
Komodo 8 are:

  * *Massive Code Update*
    Komodo has received a number of updates to it's underlying code
    base. Komodo now uses Mozilla 17 code base, Python 2.7 and Scintilla
    3.2.1, as well as other updated internal components. All of which means:
      o Better performance - with faster start times as well as using
        less CPU and memory resources
      o Better hardware support - by detecting and supporting modern
        computer systems
      o A better browser preview - supporting the latest and greatest
        web technologies

  * *Cocoa 64-bit*
    On the Mac, Komodo has moved from 32-bit Carbon to 64-bit Cocoa.
    Komodo will work better when running on the latest Mac OS X
    computers. With Komodo 8 we've also added initial support for Retina
    displays, with the Komodo editor component being able to show
    crystal clear fonts under this mode.

  * *New Languages*
    The following language changes have been made to Komodo 8:
      o Laravel Blade language added - a PHP templating language
      o Sass syntax checking added

The Komodo IDE 8.0.0 alpha builds can be trialed by anyone (you don't 
need to hold a Komodo IDE license). We'll continue releasing additional 
Komodo 8 alpha and beta builds every 4-6 weeks until the final release 
sometime in 2013.
