Red Hat is pleased to announce the general availability of Red Hat 
Software Collections 1.0. Available via select Red Hat Enterprise Linux 
subscriptions, Red Hat Software Collections delivers the newest, most 
stable versions of open source runtime components to subscribers on a 
lifecycle that is separate from Red Hat Enterprise Linux. By providing a 
more frequent release cadence of these developer oriented technologies, 
Red Hat responds to the need for access to rapid language and database 
innovation while continuing to deliver the stability of the Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux platform.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux currently ships stable tools and runtime 
technologies with its 10-year lifecycle and will continue to do so. 
Responding to evolving developer needs, Red Hat Software Collections 
provides access to newer, updated, and reliable versions of popular 
dynamic languages and open source databases with a three-year lifecycle. 
This enables organizations to accelerate software development and 
deployment on a modern platform across physical, virtual, and cloud 
environments without the potential risks of unsupported community projects.

Red Hat Software Collections 1.0 includes access to the latest stable 
versions of:

     Programming languages for modern web application development 
including: Ruby 1.9.3 with Rails 3.2.8, Python 2.7, Python 3.3, PHP 5.4, 
Perl 5.16.3, and a Technology Preview of node.js 0.10

     Runtime databases: MySQL 5.5, MariaDB 5.5, and PostgreSQL 9.2
