Updated installment enhances developer
productivity with new components like Maven and Git, delivers
stable tools for rapid container-based application development
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.
