ActiveState, the leading provider of tools and services for dynamic languages, announced the winners of the Komodo Extensibility
Challenge today at RailsConf 2007.
May 24, 2007 (Press Release) --
The contest challenged developers using Komodo IDE 4 or Komodo Edit 4 to create macros, templates, snippets, run commands or XPI extensions for Komodo's open architecture, with $2,000 in prizes to the winning entries.
Komodo added extensibility to its feature set with the January releases of Komodo IDE 4.0, the powerful, multi-language IDE for end-to-end development of dynamic web applications; and Komodo Edit 4.0, a free multi-language editor based on the award-winning Komodo IDE. Firefox-style API extensions and highly-configurable Run Commands allow developers to add their own advanced capabilities with just a few lines of code.
The Extensibility Challenge offered prizes in two categories: Komodo XPI Extensions and Komodo Toolbox Extensions. Entries were shortlisted by the Komodo development team, based on code quality, user interface quality, usefulness, and an admittedly subjective 'coolness' factor. Winners were chosen by the Komodo user community, and are available now from ActiveState’s community site at: http://community.activestate.com/.

Congratulations to all winners!
Also at RailsConf, ActiveState released Komodo IDE 4.1 featuring the most advanced Ruby and Rails editing and debugging available in any development tool. The powerful
development framework Ruby on Rails is a popular choice for developers seeking to create sophisticated web applications with ease. Komodo IDE 4.1 extends this power and flexibility with state-of-the art debugging, including support for Rails controllers and views, and a Ruby interactive shell, available on its own or from within debugging sessions. The feature-rich editor further simplifies development with autocomplete and calltips for Ruby and RHTML, and support for the multi-language and templated files common in Rails development.
