Red Hat Software Collections 2.3 and Red Hat Developer Toolset 6 Now Generally Available
Latest installments of Red Hat’s curated, open source languages,
databases and tools are designed to pair developer agility with
production stability
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 2.3, Red Hat’s newest set of open source web development
tools, dynamic languages, and databases. Red Hat Software Collections
are delivered on a more frequent release cadence than Red Hat Enterprise
Linux and are designed to bridge developer agility and production
stability. This helps to accelerate the creation of modern applications
that can then be more confidently deployed into production.
Also available today is Red Hat Developer Toolset 6, which helps
to streamline application development on Red Hat Enterprise Linux by
giving developers access to some of the latest, stable open source C and
C++ compilers and complementary development and performance profiling
tools. Accessible through the Red Hat Developer Program and related Red
Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions, including the no-cost
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer subscription, Red Hat Developer
Toolset enables developers to compile applications once and deploy
across multiple versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Red Hat Developer Toolset 6 is now also accessible across heterogeneous
computing environments, with support for x86 servers as well as IBM
architectures with Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Power and Red Hat
Enterprise Linux for z Systems. Additionally, the latest version of Red
Hat Developer Toolset will be available for the first time on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux Server for ARM Developer Preview, which was recently
rebased on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3.
For developers looking to take advantage of Linux containers, many of
the most popular Red Hat Software Collections are available as
Dockerfiles and Docker-formatted images, with the latter made available
via the Red Hat Customer Portal.
New additions to Red Hat Software Collections 2.3 include:
-
The MySQL 5.7 and Redis 3.2 open source databases
-
Perl 5.24 and PHP 7.0, both dynamic open source languages (Perl 5.24
and PHP 7.0)
-
Git 2.9, the latest stable version of the open source software version
control system
-
Thermostat 1.6, a Java virtual machine (JVM) monitoring tool
-
Eclipse Neon (4.6.1), the latest stable version of the Eclipse
integrated development environment (IDE) - Eclipse Neon is also now
available as its own software collection and is no longer a part of
Red Hat Developer Toolset.
In addition, many collections have been updated, including:
- PHP 5.6
-
Python 3.5
-
Ruby 2.3
-
MongoDB 3.2
Updated components within Red Hat Developer Toolset 6 include:
-
The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 6.2.1
-
The GNU Project Debugger (GDB) 7.12
-
A number of updates to toolchain components and performance tools
-
binutils (2.27)
-
elfutils (0.167)
-
Valgrind (3.12)
-
Dyninst (9.2.0)
-
strace (4.12)
-
SystemTap (3.0).
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, including security patches and bug fixes. 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 Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, giving more
choice and flexibility for application portfolios.
Availability
Red Hat Software Collections 2.3 and Red Hat Developer Toolset 6 are
available now to customers with select active Red Hat Enterprise Linux
subscriptions, as well as through the Red Hat Developer Program via the no-cost
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Developer subscription.

“To help achieve the benefits promised by modern applications,
development methods should include newer, innovative tools, but not at
the cost of enterprise IT stability. Red Hat Software Collections is
designed to pair the innovation needed for modern application
development, including the creation of cloud-native applications, with
the stability required by mission-critical systems, backed by Red Hat’s
enterprise-grade support and integrated with our robust product
