VANCOUVER, British Columbia – September 24, 2009 – ActiveState Software Inc., the dynamic languages company, released Komodo IDE 5.2.1 today.

The newest release of Komodo IDE comes with improved support for both PHP and Ruby. Ruby debugging now supports Ruby 1.9.1 and later. PHP integration now has full PHP 5.3 support–including autocomplete for the new namespace syntax, and PHP 5.3 debugging on Windows, Mac and Linux. In addition, Komodo’s PHP debug wizard helps you get setup to debug PHP quickly. For an overview of all the new features, visit https://www.activestate.com//komodo/whats_new/.

Drag a URL from your browser to Komodo 5.2.1 to View HTML Source with the full power of Komodo’s editor. Komodo already had excellent support for multi-language syntax coloring; with new support for configurable background colors for sub-languages (think JavaScript in an HTML file, HTML in a PHP file, CSS in a Django or Rails RHTML template), Komodo makes it faster to navigate and understand your code.

Like all Komodo IDE updates, this release is free to all Komodo IDE 5.x license holders and ActivePerl Pro Studio and ActiveTcl Pro Studio subscribers. You can pick up the latest release of Komodo IDE 5.2.1 now, or take it for a free 21-day trial run from https://www.activestate.com//komodo/.
