New developer toolset Beta available for testing

[Bryan Yeung]

Dearest Partners,


Today Red Hat announces the Beta availability for a new toolset that 
will be offeredto developers building C and C++ applications for Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux. This developer toolset - designed for Independent 
Software Vendors (ISVs), software solution providers, systems 
integrators, and enterprise software developers - makes developing Linux 
applications faster and easier than ever before.


With the developer toolset, developers can choose to take advantage of 
the latest versions of the GNU developer tool chain, packaged for easy 
installation on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This version of the GNU 
development tool chain is an alternative to the toolchain offered as 
part of each Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. Of course, developers can 
continue to use the version of the toolchain provided in Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux.


The developer toolset gives software developers the ability to develop 
and compile an application once to run on multiple versions of Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux (such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6). Compatible 
with all supported versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the developer 
toolset Beta is available for users who develop applications for Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 5 and 6. Please see the release notes for support of 
specific minor releases.


Using the developer toolset, software developers can now:


*Develop Linux applications using the latest C and C++ upstream tools 
including:*

  *

    The latest version of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC 4.7), with
    support for C and C++.

  *

    The latest version of the GNU Project Debugger (GDB 7.4) with the
    latest improvements to aid the debugging of applications.

  *

    The GNU binutils collection of binary developer tools, version 2.22,
    for the creation and management of your Linux applications.


*Develop applications that run on multiple versions of Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux, *such that applications developed on Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 5 using the developer toolset can run on both Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.


The developer toolset Beta is available now on the Red Hat Network (RHN) 
to all developers with an active Red Hat Enterprise Linux subscription. 
We encourage all Linux developers to download and evaluate the Beta. For
