[rhelv6-beta-list] Red Hat Developer Toolset 2.0 Beta Now Available for Testing

[Engineering Partner Management]

Red Hat is pleased to announce the Beta availability of Red Hat 
Developer Toolset 2.0. This latest version bridges development agility 
with production stability by delivering the latest stable versions of 
essential development tools to enhance developer productivity and 
improve deployment times.

Red Hat Developer Toolset 2.0 introduces new tools to its content set – 
including the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE) – and 
updates key packages to help developers deliver new applications and 
functionality faster. Red Hat Developer Toolset enables C and C++ 
developers to compile once and deploy to multiple versions of Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux on physical, virtual, and cloud environments. Moreover, 
Red Hat Developer Toolset can be used to develop applications for 
deployment on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and on OpenShift, offering 
customers exceptional flexibility.

Red Hat Developer Toolset 2.0 delivers the following capabilities and 
enhancements:

  * Eclipse 4.3.0 weaves together a full set of tools required for
    software development in the most popular programming languages into
    an IDE, thereby enhancing developer productivity.
  * Dyninst 8.0 delivers a powerful application program interface (API)
    that aids the development of performance measurement tools,
    debuggers, and simulators by permitting the insertion of code into
    a running program.
  * Strace 4.7 helps developers more efficiently debug programs and
    identify the root cause of crashes or other unexpected behaviors by
    tracking the system calls made and received by a process.
  * MEMSTOMP provides tools to help identify code with undefined
    behavior at a lower runtime cost than other tools such as Valgrind.
  * Updated GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 4.8 offers significant
    enhancements including:
    * Improvements in generated code quality on ia32 and x86-64 targets
      via a new, Red Hat contributed Local Register Allocator
    * Support for the latest C++ language specification
    * Ability to compile extremely large functions with smaller memory
      consumption in less time
    * Support for Hardware Transactional Memory on upcoming Intel CPU
      architectures
  * Additional updates, including elfutils 0.155, SystemTap 2.1,
    Valgrind 3.8.1, OProfile 0.9.8 and DWZ 0.10.

In addition to these enhancements, Red Hat Developer Toolset 2.0 also 
continues to deliver software collections functionality, which enables 
the concurrent installation of multiple versions of the same RPM 
packages on a system.
