All packaging methods, such as Software Collections, Flatpaks, and RPMs, have been incorporated into application streams, making it easier for developers to use their preferred packages. Rocky Linux 9 extends the module packaging features available in Rocky Linux 8. New features in the GCC compiler help developers better track code flow with improved debugging options, and write optimized code for efficient hardware usage. Rocky Linux 9 has updated versions of developer toolchains including GCC (11.2.1), glibc (2.34), and binutils (2.35). Rocky Linux 9 has many of the latest runtimes and compilers, including GCC 11.2.1, LLVM (13.0.1), Rust (1.58.1), and Go (1.17.1).

NFS introduces the “eager write” mount option to help reduce latency. XFS now supports Direct Access (DAX) operations, permitting direct access to byte-addressable persistent memory, helping avoid the latency of using traditional block I/O conventions.
