Komodo 9.0.1 Released, Many Fixes & Enhancements

Less than a month after our awesome 9.0 release, we’re following up with our first minor Komodo 9 release. This build contains important bug fixes and is a recommended update for all Komodo 9 users. We’re committed to our software, so expect many more updates (both big and small) this year.
If you’re already using Komodo 9 use the Help > Check for Updates menu to start the update, otherwise you can obtain a copy by visiting the downloads section. This is a controlled release, meaning we’re sending out the update to everyone slowly over the next week.
