Red Hat is pleased to announce the Beta release of Red Hat Software Collections 1.0. Red Hat Software Collections 1.0 delivers the latest, stable versions of some of the most popular web development languages and open source databases for use with Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It features a three-year life cycle and is the first in a series of planned releases designed to allow developers to take advantage of new capabilities faster as they build and deploy modern, enterprise-ready web applications.
The success of today’s enterprise is dependent upon developers’ ability to remain agile, flexible and ready to incorporate new technologies, even as they take on additional responsibilities as new roles like DevOps emerge and evolve. With Red Hat Software Collections, developers can build and deploy applications on Red Hat Enterprise Linux with the confidence that their efforts will be backed by long-term support. In addition, Red Hat plans a frequent release cadence for Red Hat Software Collections, providing developers with updated runtime components on which they can create new features and capabilities.
Red Hat Software Collections 1.0 Beta includes access to the latest stable versions of the following dynamic languages:
- Ruby 1.9.3 with Rails 3.2.8, which delivers substantial performance improvements for web-based applications. This results in faster load times, improved unicode support and threading, and a large collection of ruby gems.
- Python version 2.7, which includes new unit test features, faster I/O, and tools and back-ported features from Python 3 to make future migration easier.
- Python version 3.3, which offers significant improvements in language consistency, Unicode performance, imports, and distribution of packages.
