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
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 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.
