[rhelv6-list] Red Hat Software Collections 1.1 Beta Now Available for Testing

[Engineering Partner Management]

Red Hat is pleased to announce the beta availability of Red Hat Software 
Collections 1.1, the second installment of Red Hat Software Collections. 
Red Hat Software Collections 1.1 Beta delivers a comprehensive suite of 
runtime languages and open source databases helping developers and 
systems administrators accelerate the creation of stable, modern web 
applications.
Red Hat Software Collections 1.1 Beta expands upon Red Hat Software 
Collection’s set of powerful web development tools, dynamic languages, 
and open source databases by offering several new options, including:

  * Two new open source HTTP server options in the form of Apache HTTP 
Server 2.4 and Nginx 1.4.4 (available as a Technology Preview)	

  * PHP 5.5, a server-side scripting language designed for web development

  * Ruby 2.0 and Rails 4.0, which for the first time will be packaged 
separately, providing developers with access to an updated version of 
Ruby without requiring the installation of Rails

  * MongoDB 2.4, a high-performance open source document database and 
leading NoSQL database that provides high availability and easy scalability

  * Thermostat 1.0, a tool for monitoring Java virtual machine (JVM) 
instances on multiple hosts

  * Enhancements to the software collections utilities that simplify the 
extension of software collections through the use of dependent collections

As with Red Hat Software Collection 1.0, this latest release expedites 
the delivery of dynamic languages and databases, a significant benefit 
to organizations seeking to accelerate software development and 
deployment through DevOps and/or agile methods. Additionally, 
subscribers deploying applications built using Red Hat Software 
Collections into production can do so with confidence, as individual 
releases of Red Hat Software Collections are supported for three years.
