What’s New in Komodo IDE 7
Deploy to the Cloud with Komodo IDE 7 and Stackato
Deploy directly from the desktop to the cloud using new integration with Stackato. With the Stackato client interface, you can test and debug applications in the environment that they will be deployed.
Synchronize Multiple Workstations
Komodo Sync lets you securely share your important data across multiple machines, including toolbox items, remote server accounts and templates. With per-user licensing, Sync makes it easier for you to work across multiple computers and operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux).
Collaborate in Real Time
Speed up team programming by editing with other users simultaneously. Code Collaboration shares changes with other Komodo IDE 7 users that you authorize, in real time, with helpful highlights to identify what changes were made.
Code Profiling for Better CPU Usage
Highlight code hotspots and detect performance issues faster. Code Profiling generates a graph of your application, so that you can see exactly where and how your program is spending CPU time.
More Languages and Frameworks
Komodo IDE 7 has full support for Node.js (editing / syntax checking, code intelligence, debugging), and adds editing for CoffeeScript, LESS, SCSS, EJS and Mojolicious.
Performance
Built on Mozilla 7.0– the same codebase as Firefox 4– Komodo IDE 7 gives you a better user experience with less loading time. Enjoy faster start-up, a better browser preview and unmatched stability.
