Since a few people have suggested moving the project to GitHub, I am willing to give it a try. Before doing so however, I’d like to collect some input and feedback. First, how should we set up the project on GitHub? The simplest way would be to move the entire SVN tree (with trunk, sandbox […]
As stated in a blog post some months ago, I am now looking for sponsors to help funding POCO C++ Libraries development. After considering a few alternatives, including setting up a non-profit organization overseeing project direction and funding, I came to the conclusion that, at least at the beginning, sponsorship agreements will be handled by […]
Release 1.3.6p2 is a another patch release for 1.3.6 containing various bugfixes. Upgrading is recommended for everyone using the Crypto, NetSSL, Net and XML libraries. As always, for a complete list of changes, please see the CHANGELOG.
The Wikipedia article on POCO could need some help, as it has recently been marked as not meeting the notability guidelines and is in danger of being deleted. Could someone (who’s not a POCO maintainer) please take some time and add some more content to the article (maybe a History, License and Implementation section), as […]
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone using and contributing to the POCO C++ Libraries!
Release 1.3.6p1 is a patch release for 1.3.6 that fixes a few bugs introduced in 1.3.6 and earlier releases. Upgrading is recommended for everyone using the Crypto, NetSSL and XML libraries. For the maintainers of the POCO Debian package, this release allows to build POCO in “unbundled” mode, which means the system-provided zlib, pcre, expat […]

There will also be an 1.3.7 release early next year, containing a few new features, most notable support for an XML pull parser based on the StAX API, as well as HTTP Digest Authentication. […]
Samsung has released a new OS/platform for smartphones, based on C++. My initial excitement for the platform has vanished quickly, though, after looking at their introductory presentation for developers. First thing that caught my eye was “two-phase construction”. That immediately rang my alarm bells. This was followed by their explanation that they cannot use C++ […]
I am happy to announce that 1.3.6 is now available. This release contains both bugfixes (some critical), as well as a few new features. As always, the details are in the CHANGELOG. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release.
Last week I created two screencasts that demonstrate the Applied Informatics Remoting toolkit, which is based on POCO. Remoting allows you to easily implement network services, object-based IPC and SOAP web services in C++ by writing C++ classes with special annotations. A code generator then does all of the heavylifting. See it all in my […]
