[rhelv6-list] Red Hat Developer Toolset 1.1 Beta Available for Testing

[Engineering Partner Management]

Today Red Hat announces the Beta availability of version 1.1 of the Red 
Hat Developer Toolset. For developers, having ready access to the latest 
stable development tools is key to taking advantage of open source 
innovation. Red Hat Developer Toolset 1.1 bridges development agility 
with production stability by delivering the latest stable versions of 
diagnostic and debugging tools while broadening the reach of developers 
and the platforms to which they can deploy.

Red Hat Developer Toolset makes developing applications faster and 
easier than ever before by allowing users to compile once and deploy to 
multiple versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Using Red Hat Developer 
Toolset, software developers can develop applications that run on 
multiple versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, such that applications 
developed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 can run on both Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Developer Toolset 1.1 delivers the latest stable versions of a 
comprehensive set of diagnostic and debugging tools, including the 
following significant enhancements:

   * SystemTap 1.8, a diagnostic tool for complex tasks that require 
live analysis, programmable on-line response, and whole-system symbolic 
access.

   * OProfile 0.9.7, providing Linux developers with a low-overhead, 
system-wide profiler for systems ranging from laptops to large servers.

   * Valgrind 3.8.0, an instrumentation framework for building dynamic 
analysis tools that contains a set of production-quality tools for 
profiling programs as well as detecting memory management and threading 
errors.

   * Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) 3.6 allows developers and systems 
administrators to log and analyze performance metrics of systems across 
the network.

   * elfutils 0.154, a collection of utilities for processing compiled 
objects.

   * DWZ 0.7 optimizes DWARF debugging information contained in ELF 
shared libraries and ELF executables by compressing them into smaller 
debuginfo files.

   * Updated GNU Project Debugger (GDB) 7.5, so developers using GCC 4.7 
can also use the latest version of GDB to gain visibility into 
applications while they execute and identify what occurred during a crash.

   * Updated GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 4.7.1, providing a number of 
fixes and improvements to the compiler and associated runtimes.

With this installment, Red Hat Developer Toolset 1.1 also broadens the 
reach of developers and the platforms to which they can deploy by adding 
support for:

   * Fortran in GCC 4.7, providing support for scientific and research 
communities through the latest version of GCC with Fortran.

   * IBM POWER7, allowing those running Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 
for POWER7 to use the Red Hat Developer Toolset for application development.
