Versione 6.10

Questa versione contiene (in Inglese):

• We are pleased to announce the availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10, the latest update to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6[1] platform. For nearly eight years, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 has carried our customers’ critical infrastructure because of the stability, reliability, and platform security that it can offer to the modern enterprise. Today, we are pleased to announce the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10, continuing to deliver upon Red  Hat’s 10-year lifecycle support.
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10 marks the transition from the Maintenance Support 1 lifecycle phase to the Maintenance Support 2 phase. In order to help provide customers with a stable environment for the remainder of the Red  Hat Enterprise Linux 6 lifecycle, only critical security fixes and business-impacting urgent issues have been addressed. Examples include the addition of retpoline-based mitigations for the Spectre/Meltdown vulnerabilities[2], an updated GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), and rebased gcc-libraries packages.
• This release also includes a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10 base image to help enterprises more easily migrate Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 workloads into container-based applications. These cloud-native workloads can then be deployed and maintained on a more modern platform, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform[3].
• To make it easier for customers to plan their migration to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10 provides updates to the Pre-upgrade Assistant, Red Hat Upgrade Tool, and the accompanying documentation.
