On Monday, Dec 21, we will release 1.3.6p1, which is a bugfix release only, fixing the most severe bugs in 1.3.6. 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 […]
If everything goes well and no serious issues come up, 1.3.6 will be released next Tuesday. Please use the time to do some more testing with the 1.3.6 branch.
Our second screencast shows how to build a SOAP web service in C++ with Applied Informatics Remoting. The sample project shown in the screencast is based on the StockQuotes server from the Remoting in 15 Minutes webcast, so please watch that one first if you haven’t yet. Apple QuickTime or another player capable of playing […]
Our first screencast shows how to build a simple distributed C++ application based on Applied Informatics Remoting. You’ll learn how to write the service class, how to configure and run the code generator, and how to write the client and server applications. All in just 15 minutes. Apple QuickTime or another player capable of playing […]
One of the questions that comes up frequently when installing an OSP-based application on an end-user system is where to put the OSP codeCache. The OSP framework itself does not care where the codeCache is located, so you’re basically free to put it wherever you’d like. Of course, there are system-specific conventions and restrictions where […]
The 1.3.6 branch should be in pretty good shape now, except for that NetSSL leak I mentioned in a previous post. Before officially releasing 1.3.6, I’d like to have it tested a bit more. So if you are currently using 1.3.5 and can donate some time, please get 1.3.6 from SVN and test it with […]
This week I fixed a few more issues for the upcoming 1.3.6 release. Everything is in the 1.3.6 branch in SVN. There are a few more bugs that need to be fixed before we can release. One that’s particulary nasty is #2864380. The memory leak only occurs if client or server certificate validation is performed […]
