The reason for 'Poco' and not 'poco' is naming convention. I would guess the developer(s) are trying to differentiate the class name from regular variable names. It's common pratice once you get into it. This is just a response to comment # 2.

Experience with our own codebase shows that the change can be made with a few global search/replace operations and is a matter of a few hours at most, so I think it's not that much of a problem.

My initial impression was that this was a stable commercial library that was already widely used that has now been open sourced. With changes as significant as you have just made what happnes to exisiting code? I have no issue with the change since I am just beginnig to check the library out but am wondering how long time users will react to these changes. F.

The transition has been quite smooth - global search/replace is all that's needed, and I really like the result so far. After some tests on more platforms I will release a new preview of 1.2 later today (or tomorrow, latest). To sum it up: <ul> <li>The Foundation namespace is now just Poco.</li> <li>XML, Util and Net have become Poco::XML, Poco::Util and Poco::Net.</li> <li>#includes are now in the form #include "Poco/Foundation.h" for Foundation headers and #include "Poco/XML/XML.h" for other libs.</li> </ul> I have switched all of Poco, as well as some of our proprietary libs to the new namespace and headers scheme.

To sum it up:

  • The Foundation namespace is now just Poco.
  • XML, Util and Net have become Poco::XML, Poco::Util and Poco::Net.
  • #includes are now in the form #include “Poco/Foundation.h” for Foundation headers and #include “Poco/XML/XML.h” for other libs.

Foundation is kind of verbose. I was thinking why not 'base'. And 'poco' instead of 'Poco' I have just began looking at Poco.
