Hello all,

We are pleased to tell you that Komodo IDE and Komodo Edit 6.0.0 Beta 1
were released today. If you're using 6.0.0 Alpha 2 then you can use
Komodo's auto-update mechanism. Otherwise, you can get Beta 1 at:

http://downloads.activestate.com/Komodo/releases/6.0.0b1/

For Pythonistas the most significant recent changes are the addition of
Python 3 code intelligence support (i.e. autocomplete, calltips, Go To
Definition, sections list, code browser)!

Komodo 5 (the current production version) already supported background
syntax checking and debugging for Python 3. This beta release finally
rounds out Komodo's language support for Python 3.


Test Framework Survey
=====================

We're running a survey on what Test Automation Frameworks people use
(both in Python and not). We'd appreciate it if you would take the time
to fill that out: only 4 questions. We'll post results from the survey
on our blog (http://www.activestate.com/blog) next month. (We'll be
giving away some t-shirts, too!)

Thanks!


What else is in Komodo 6.0b1?
=============================


Other significant changes in Komodo 6.0.0b1 are:

* New integrated toolbox
* all your tools will now belong to one pane
* faster loading and firing
* tools are now standalone JSON files, that can be
easily copied and exported
* more features are planned

This should be fixed in the nightlies fairly soon.
The toolbox main menu is also not operational.
