1.4.3p1 Available – Important patch for Windows XP 32-bit

An important patch for the 1.4.3 release is available. In 1.4.3, Poco::Util::WinRegistryKey used a function (RegDeleteKeyEx) not available on Windows XP 32-bit (it is available starting with WinXP 64-bit SP3). This prevented applications using WinRegistryKey (or ServerApplication, which uses this class) from running on Windows XP. Bug report is here. This has been fixed in […]
