Red Hat Software Collections 2.1 and Red Hat
Developer Toolset 4 help drive development, deployment of
containerized applications with new and updated languages and
tools
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced the general availability of
Red Hat Software Collections 2.1, Red Hat’s newest
installment of the latest, stable open source web development
tools, dynamic languages and databases. Delivered on a separate
lifecycle from Red Hat Enterprise Linux with a more frequent
release cadence, Red Hat Software Collections bridges developer
agility and production stability by helping to accelerate the
creation of modern applications that can then be more confidently
deployed into production.
Also generally available today is Red Hat Developer Toolset
4, which helps to streamline application development on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux by giving developers access to the latest, stable
open source C and C++ compilers and complementary development and
performance profiling tools. Accessible through the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux Developer Program and related subscriptions, Red
Hat Developer Toolset helps enable developers to compile
applications once and deploy across multiple versions of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux.
Red Hat Software Collections 2.1 features several new and
updated collections, including:
- Varnish Cache 4.0.3, a caching HTTP
reverse proxy that is able to help accelerate web applications
- nginx 1.8, an updated version of the
popular HTTP and reverse proxy server
- node.js 0.10.40, an updated version of
the runtime environment for developing server-side web
applications
- Updated Maven 3.0 collection with
additional packages
New additions and updated components of Red Hat Developer
Toolset 4 include:
- GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 5.2
- The GNU Project Debugger (GDB)
7.10
- Eclipse Mars (4.5)
- Many updates to toolchain components
and performance tools, such as binutils (2.25) and SystemTap
(2.8)
For developers looking to take advantage of the rapid
development and deployment cycles inherent to Linux containers,
many of the popular Red Hat Software Collections have been made
available as Dockerfiles. In addition, many of the popular Red Hat
Software Collections are also now available as docker-formatted
container images via the Red Hat Customer Portal.
Applications built with Red Hat Software Collections can be
deployed into production with greater confidence, as most software
collections and components are supported for three years. In
addition to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7, applications built
with Red Hat Software Collections can also be deployed to Red Hat
Enterprise Linux Atomic Host and OpenShift, Red Hat’s
Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering, giving more choice and
flexibility for application portfolios.
