Red Hat is pleased to announce the beta availability of Red Hat Software 
Collections 2.1. Delivered on a separate lifecycle from Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux with a more frequent release cadence, Red Hat Software 
Collections expedites the delivery of essential web development tools, 
dynamic languages, and open source databases. As these updated 
components can be installed alongside versions included in base Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Software Collections is designed to bridge 
developer agility and production stability by accelerating the creation 
of modern applications that can be confidently deployed into production.

New additions include:
* Varnish Cache 4.0.3, a caching HTTP reverse proxy that is able to 
accelerate web applications
* nginx 1.8, an updated version of the popular HTTP and reverse proxy server

Updated collections include:
* Red Hat Developer Toolset 4.0 (see below)
* Node.js 0.10.40
* Maven 3.0.5
* Common Java Packages Collection 1.2

Red Hat is also pleased to announce the beta availability of Red Hat 
Developer Toolset 4.0. Available through the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 
Developer Program and related subscriptions, Red Hat Developer Toolset 
continues to streamline application development on the world’s leading 
enterprise Linux platform, enabling developers to compile applications 
once and deploy across multiple versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Updates include: GCC 5.2 (the latest stable upstream version of GCC), 
GDB 7.10, Eclipse Mars (4.5), and a number of updates to toolchain 
components and performance tools, like binutils (2.25), dwz (0.12), 
elfutils (0.163), SystemTap (2.8), and OProfile (1.1.0).

In addition to the provision of Dockerfiles[1], many of the most popular
