Tools open, stable and to create innovative applications ready for production: so Red Hat defines its Software Collections 2 , the new version of the set of Web development tools, dynamic languages, and database offered in a life cycle independent of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The underlying mission remains that of the previous release, but is even more effective: to allow you to create applications that take advantage of cutting-edge programming languages, without compromising the stability of the products and therefore the user experience.

Red Hat Software Collections 2 wants therefore speed up the creation of modern applications , including those designed to Linux implementations container . Key feature is the support various versions of languages ​​ (versions that can also differ significantly between releases of open source languages ​​and the other), which makes it possible to select and standardize the development on the variant that best meets their needs. For example, the collection includes updates of Python 2.7, continues to support Python 3.3 and Python 3.4 also adds to the list.

As for implementations of containers Linux, Red Hat aims to enrich its life cycle but also to speed up the work of the developers. The Software Collections 2 has therefore made the Dockerfile available for many of the most common collections, including Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby.

As with all previous versions, the collections included in Red Hat Software Collections 2 will be supported by two or three years. The installation remains flexible, since developers can deliver applications on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host and OpenShift.

As you the requirements of the developers increase, especially with the growth of modular applications and cloud-based, simply access the latest tools is no longer enough “, said Jim Totton , vice president and general manager Platforms Business Unit at Red Hat. “These tools should also be supported so that the resulting applications can be implemented in production with confidence. Red Hat Software Collections 2 provides this security with our support, while allowing developers to choose the tools that best suit their projects. ”
