The new POCO website is finally online. As discussed previously, we have replaced the Tiki with phpBB and MediaWiki. For forum access, all forum users must reset their password. Posting Blog comments and editing the Wiki does not require an account, although we suggest you log yourself into the Wiki before you edit a page. […]
There is a new interview with Bjarne Stroustrup on the Geek of the Week site where Bjarne mentions POCO along with Boost and Qt. We’re finally being recognized. Even more, Bjarne now also has a link to POCO on his website (look at the bottom – we’re described as “Web development support library”) 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating.
Here at Applied Informatics, we like to have fun at work. We recently built a Mindstorms vehicle that’s remote controlled by the iPhone’s accelerometer.

During the summer, two interns have written conversion scripts that will move user accounts, wiki pages and the forum content to the new platform. Furthermore, […]
I have created a new 1.3.3 release that fixes the Crypto compile error on 64-bit Linux, as well as the broken Makefile in the Zip archive distribution. Also, the README has been updated with a section discussing the external dependencies of NetSSL, Crypto, Data/ODBC and Data/MySQL. The SVN revision for this release is 964 in […]
I am happy to announce that release 1.3.3 of the POCO C++ Libraries is finally available. More than any other release before, this release was a true community effort. Sergey Kholodilov contributed the MySQL connector for Data, and Ferdinand Beyer contributed the foundation of what now is the Crypto library. Chris Johnson helped bringing POCO […]
