Compilers and Development Tools

Clang Resource Directory Moved

The Clang resource directory, where Clang stores its internal headers and libraries, has been moved from /usr/lib64/clang/17 to /usr/lib/clang/17.

Elfutils Updated to Version 0.190

The elfutils 0.190 update instroduces the following changes:

libelf: This library now includes relative relocation (RELR).
libdw: This library now functions with the .debug_[ct]u_index sections.
-Ds, --use-dynamic --symbol: You can use these options with the eu-readelf tool to show symbols through the dynamic segment without using ELF sections.
eu-readelf: This tool now shows .gdb_index version 9.
eu-scrlines: This new tool generates a list of source files associated with a specified DWARF or ELF file.
debuginfod: This server schema now compresses file name representations. You must reindex before you can use this feature.

`grafana-selinux` Package Added

A grafana-selinux package, which contains an SELinux policy for grafana-server, and which is installed by default with grafana-server is added to the release. This update ensures that the grafana-server runs as grafana_t SELinux type, rather than as an unconfined_service_t SELinux type.

Ant Updated to version 1.10.9

The ant:1.10 module stream has been updated to version 1.10.9. This latest version includes functionality for code signing, using a provider class and provider argument.

Note that the updated ant:1.10 module stream contains only the ant and ant-lib packages. Remaining packages related to Ant are distributed in the javapackages-tools module in the unsupported CodeReady Linux Builder (CRB) repository, which haven't been updated.

Packages from the updated ant:1.10 module stream cannot be used in parallel with packages from the javapackages-tools module. To use the complete set of Ant-related packages, you must uninstall the ant:1.10 module and disable it, enable the CRB repository, and install the javapackages-tools module.

`maven-openjdk21` Package Added

The maven:3.8 module stream now includes the maven-openjdk21 subpackage, which provides the Maven JDK binding for OpenJDK 21 and configures Maven to use the system OpenJDK 21.

`cmake` Updated to Version 3.26

The cmake package is updated to version 3.26. Notable changes include:

Addition of the C17 and C18 language standards.
cmake can query the /etc/os-release file to identify the OS.
