What's New in Komodo 4.3.0
==========================

- New **Unit Testing Integration** for Python, Ruby, PHP and Perl.
Currently the Python support is for basic unittest-based test suites. In
subsequent versions we plan to add nose support. (Komodo IDE-only)

- New **Replace in Files** provides full and *safe* replace
functionality across whole source trees. There is a preview of changes,
and undo support.

- New **Find in Project** and significant improvements to the find
system to make it more convenient to find stuff.

- A new **Abbreviations** editor feature to quickly insert code
snippets. You'll never have to manually enter this again:

   if __name__ == '__main__':
       ...

- Komodo Edit is now open-source! Back in October, we announced the Open
Komodo project. We did that by November, but this release is finally the
first full open-source release of a Komodo app. A lot of Komodo is
written in Python (and XUL and JavaScript). We'd love for some of you to
get involved:  http://www.openkomodo.com/


ActiveState at PyCon
====================

Todd Whiteman, one of the core Komodo developers, will be at PyCon in
Chicago this weekend. He'll be giving a lightning talk (on Friday) on
some of the cool PyXPCOM -- plugging Python into Mozilla -- work that
he's been doing.

He'd be happy to talk Komodo-shop with you.


About Komodo
============

Komodo IDE is a commercial multi-platform integrated development
environment for dynamic languages (Python, Ruby, Perl, PHP, JavaScript)
and web tech (HTML, CSS, XML, XSLT): full-featured debuggers; code
browsing; Subversion, CVS and Perforce integration, regular expression
toolkit (Rx); interactive shells; and everything in Komodo Edit.

Komodo Edit is the free and *open-source* little brother of Komodo IDE.
It is a multi-platform, multi-language editor that kicks ass. Features
include:

- an excellent editor (based on Scintilla)
- autocomplete and calltips for many languages
- Vi and Emacs keybindings
- background syntax checking
- syntax coloring for dozens of languages (including template languages
like Django's template language)
- schema-based XML autocomplete
- full project support
- remote files
- extensibility via Python or JavaScript macros, or via Firefox-style
extensions
- multi-language file support (get HTML, CSS and JavaScript autocomplete
all in one HTML file!).
