Red Hat is pleased to announce the Beta availability of Red Hat

with production stability by delivering the latest stable versions of 
essential open development tools to enhance developer productivity and 
improve deployment times.

Red Hat Developer Toolset 2.1 Beta introduces a new tool to its content 
set – Git 1.8.4 – and updates key packages to help developers deliver 
new applications and functionality faster. Red Hat Developer Toolset 
enables C and C++ developers to compile once and deploy to multiple 
versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux on physical, virtual, and cloud 
environments. Moreover, Red Hat Developer Toolset can be used to develop 
applications for deployment on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and on 
OpenShift, offering customers exceptional flexibility.

Red Hat Developer Toolset 2.1 Beta delivers the following capabilities:

  * Users can compile on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 to run on Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 6 and test on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Beta. In 
addition, the Red Hat Developer Toolset retains functionality allowing 
users to compile on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and deploy on Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux 5 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

  * Git 1.8.4.  Git 1.8.4 provides developers using Red Hat Enterprise 
Linux 6 with a new release of the powerful distributed version control 
system designed to handle projects of any size with speed and efficiency.

  * General updates, inclusive of minor bug fixes and feature 
enhancements, to the following packages: GCC 4.8.2, Eclipse 4.3.1,
