by helping to accelerate the creation of modern applications that
can then be more confidently deployed into production.
Also available today is Red Hat Developer Toolset 4.1, which

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

Toolset enables developers to compile applications once and deploy
across multiple versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Additions to Red Hat Software Collections 2.2 include:
- New open source databases such as
MariaDB 10.1, MongoDB 3.2, and PostgreSQL 9.5
- New open source languages, including
Node.js v4.4, Python 3.5, Ruby 2.3, and Rails 4.2, as well as Maven
3.3
- Updated collections, highlighted by
MongoDB 2.6, Python 2.7, Apache 2.4, and Thermostat 1.4
Red Hat Developer Toolset 4.1 also features new additions,
including:
- GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 5.3
- GNU Project Debugger (GDB) 7.11
- Eclipse 4.5.2
- A number of updates to toolchain
components and performance tools, like Dynist (9.1) and SystemTap

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 container
application platform, giving more choice and flexibility for
application portfolios.
Red Hat Software Collections 2.2 and Red Hat Developer Toolset
4.1 are now available to customers and partners with select active
Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscriptions. Additionally, for
developers looking to take advantage of Linux containers, many of

Supporting Quote
Jim Totton, vice president and general manager, Platforms
Business Unit, Red Hat
“Developers need the latest tools to build modern applications,
particularly cloud-native applications, but the business at large
requires a commitment to application stability that many of these
tools simply do not have. Backed by Red Hat’s enterprise-grade
support and our robust technology portfolio, the latest installment
of Red Hat Software Collections helps developers gain access to the
latest stable builds of needed tools while holding true to the
requirements of the broader business for stable, supported
production applications.”
