Updated installment enhances developer productivity with new
components like Maven and Git, delivers stable tools for rapid
container-based application development
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced the general availability of Red Hat Software
Collections 1.2, delivering the latest, stable versions of essential
development tools, dynamic languages, and open source databases all on a
separate lifecycle from Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The third installment
of Red Hat Software Collections now includes vital open developer tools,
such as GCC 4.9, Maven and Git, and, for the first time, makes the
Eclipse IDE available on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. In addition, Red
Hat is offering Dockerfiles for many of the most popular software
collections, aiding in the rapid creation and deployment of
container-based applications.
Delivered on a separate lifecycle from Red Hat Enterprise Linux with a
more frequent release cadence, Red Hat Software Collections helps
accelerate the development and deployment of modern applications. New
additions to Red Hat Software Collections include:
-
Red Hat Developer Toolset 3 as a software collection, bridging
development agility and production stability with the latest stable
versions of essential open development tools, including the Eclipse
IDE (now available on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7), GCC 4.9, ltrace
0.7.91 and a number of other enhancements.
-
DevAssistant 0.9.1, a tool for setting up development
environments and publishing code.
-
Maven 3.0, a build automation tool for Java projects that
describes how software is built and the associated dependencies.
-
Git 1.9.4, now separate from Red Hat Developer Toolset in its
own collection to allow developers to access and install Git
standalone from Red Hat Developer Toolset.
-
Nginx 1.6, a fully supported web server and proxy server.
-
The latest stable versions of:
-
Dynamic languages, including Ruby with Rails, Python, PHP and Perl.
-
Open source databases including MongoDB, MariaDB, MySQL and
PostgreSQL.
-
Dockerfiles for many of the most popular software collections,
helping developers to rapidly build and deploy containerized
applications.
As with all versions of Red Hat Software Collections, the languages,
databases and tools featured in Red Hat Software Collections 1.2 can be
used to build and deploy applications into production with confidence,
as these components are supported by Red Hat for three years.
Additionally, Red Hat Software Collections can be used to develop
applications across Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenShift, Red Hat's
award-winning Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering, providing customers
with extensive flexibility and choice for development and deployment.
Red Hat Software Collections 1.2 is available now for use with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 to customers and
partners with select active Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions.
