As for serial support, you can try the Sandbox version. Windows will work, Linux/Unix is mostly done, but needs testing.

XML supports chinese if you use UTF-8 or another Unicode encoding. If you want support for other Chinese text encodings, someone will have to contribute code for that (see the TextEncoding class in Foundation) or pay someone to do this.

Sounds great, I just want to add that I also am really interested in the serial support…

Is there any indication when the serial support in poco will be released? (or is it still usable from the sandbox version?)

There’s still time for change requests. File a request on Sourceforge, or send me an email. I cannot promise anything, but I’ll try to put as many fixes as possible into the next release.

I’ve got a few enhancement/bug-fix ideas to put in the tracker. Have you already drawn the line for the release, or do you have a deadline for accepting possible changes?

Hum.. that’s great, split the Fundation and put C++0x on the planning for 2.0 is a good start. Good reasons for a 2.0 without backwards compatibility.

Hello,

I’m mostly curious about aligning with C++0x.

Personally I prefer many of the Poco abstractions to the standard ones, but I suspect that the standard solutions to threading, smart pointers, etc, will prove more “future-proof”.

Poco has its own smart pointers, for example, any chance you’ll look into replacing them with std::(tr1)::unique_ptr/std::(tr1)::shared_ptr for 2.0?

Thanks,
- Kim
