Hello,
We are announcing the third (and final) Beta build of Komodo IDE/Edit
8.5.0. You can download it directly from the links below, or use '/Help
> Check for Update/s...' if you're already using a Komodo Beta release:
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.
Note that this is the last beta build for Komodo 8.5, and the next build
will be the official 8.5.0 release (in a few weeks).
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*8.5.0b3 Overview*
**
* *Class Member Refactoring*: We've extended Komodo's refactoring
capabilities to now cover class members (i.e. instance variables).
Class member renaming can be used to rename a variable across
multiple files. A confirmation step is provided so you can check and
select the instances you want replaced.
**
*
*PHP 5.5*: Komodo has been updated to support PHP 5.5, with a new
Xdebug module (for debugging and code profiling), updates for the
two new keywords (yield, finally) and updated code intelligence to
provide the latest API data for PHP 5.5.
*
*Python Symbols*: Due to popular demand, we've now added
two-character length triggering for Python symbols in Komodo's code
intelligence completions. For example, when you type "im" you'll now
see completions for "import" as well as any local variables,
functions, classes and builtins that have a name starting with "im".
* *Abyss Skin*: The dark themed skin has been updated and now applies
itself to all Komodo dialogs as well as to the main Komodo window
(it previously only affected the main Komodo window). The add-on for
Abyss-Skin <https://github.com/Komodo/Abyss-Skin> is also now
available from GitHub, and it provides a good example of how to
theme Komodo.
**
* *Breadcrumbs*: The file and directory navigation bar (new in
8.5.0b1) has been moved into statusbar.
**
* *Mac Improvements*: We've fixed the line margins not refreshing in
8.5.0b2, and made changes to ensure proper repainting of the editor
(without glitches) in 8.5.0b3.
*
*Performance*: Various performance tweaks were made to improve the
editing performance, as well as improving search speed, boosting
code intelligence scanning, syntax checking times and general
responsiveness of Komodo.
As a reminder, these are the major features that were added in 8.5.0b1
and 8.5.0b2:
* *Code Refactoring* - smart code transformation and renaming abilities
* *Breadcrumbs* - file and directory navigation bar
* *Abyss Theme* - new dark theme (skin) for Komodo
* *Open Files Pane* - list of opened editor files
* *Multiple Carets* - set additional caret locations, type in all of
them at once
* *Sleek Scrollbars* - fading out of side pane scrollbars when not in use
* *Code Intelligence*: separate process is used for code intelligence
You can also view the release notes for a full list of changes in Komodo
8.5:
http://docs.activestate.com/komodo/8.5/releases/ide.html#bug_fixes-8.5.0b3
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Komodo Edit on GitHub
*
We've now made the Komodo Edit source code available on GitHub:
https://github.com/Komodo/KomodoEdit
Komodo Edit is completely open source (since 2007), under the MPL
license, and it provides the base code from which Komodo IDE is built.
We've also placed some of our Komodo add-ons onto the GitHub page:
https://github.com/Komodo
which should make it easier for developers that are wanting to clone and
contribute to Komodo development.
