Komodo 10.1 Beta Now Available

The Komodo 10.1 beta is now available. This is a big update that focuses primarily on what our community has been asking us for. Over 100 bugs were fixed and more will be addressed before this release turns stable. While the vast majority of our effort has been focused on community requests, we did also work on some creative vision of our own.

The Tutorial Tool

The most notable addition in this release is the tutorial tool (IDE only). This new feature lets you write and use tutorials that will run in Komodo. We are using this mechanic ourselves with the introduction of 3 new tutorials:

• A getting started tutorial
• A tutorial explaining the basics of the toolbox
• A tutorial explaining the basics of version control in Komodo

While we are using them to guide you through Komodo, the tutorial mechanic can be used for any purpose. We’re particularly interested to see the community use them for things such as:

• Introducing new developers to a codebase
• Educating developers on the use of new technologies
• Educational use in a classroom setting

This tool is of course very new and may still contain some bugs, hence why we are releasing the beta. Please take it through its paces and let us know how it goes!

Other Notable Changes

In addition to the tutorial tool some more notable changes in Komodo 10.1 include:

• Support for Mustache templating
• Syntax checking for Angular.js HTML
• VSCode Keybinding set (for converts)
• Force push and force pull support for Publishing
• New dynamic button for Publishing
• New branch switching statusbar widget for Git and Mercurial
• Various improvements to the commit dialog
• Support for gulp.babel in our gulp integration
• Global font settings
• Improved user experience for the color scheme editor
• Better HiDPI support for Linux
• New preference to open find results in file tabs
• Added missing Laravel Blade directives (thanks to lagbox!)
• Added RGBA support to our color picker (thanks to Defman!)
• Improved multi-caret behavior
• Various codeintel improvements
• More performance improvements
• Improved multi-window stability
• And tons more (see below)
