Yesterday we released Komodo 4.4, which is the final minor release of Komodo before we hit the big 5-oh. You can read all the usual stuff here on Komodo IDE for Perl, Python, Tcl and more.

My personal list of favourite / awesome features in this release:

You'll find me next week at Cisco central for their Toolapalooza event. That's a catchy name for the show Cisco sets up for their own employees to peruse the various vendors they use.

Google's Summer of Code 2008 is on, and the Tcl/Tk community is one of the mentor organizations this year. This includes myself as a mentor on project opportunities for students.

Hooray, Komodo IDE and Komodo Edit 4.2 have been released! There's a little something for everyone in this release; I'm most excited about the new auto update feature. No more checking for the latest features or need to reinstall Komodo...

Not too long ago, there was a binary distributed with ActiveTcl and the Tcl Dev Kit called expect.  It allowed one to write Tcl scripts that made use of a collection of functions that were extremely handy for automating tasks which weren't otherwise easy to automate.  A good example of this kind of task is running software test suites automatically.

In recent versions of Tcl and the TDK, the executable is nowhere to be found.  Naturally, this brings up the question of where it went.
