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++ […]

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 […]

Issam Lahlali, lead developer of the CppDepend static analyzer, was nice enough to tell me about a source code analysis of POCO, done with CppDepend. You can find the detailed analysis in his blog.

I have added JSONParser & friends to the sandbox. The code was ported from JSON Parser. At first, I intended to wrap the library, but things got really messy, so I decided to pull out what I need and tweak it into a more tidy codebase. Experience was a nice reminder of why I have […]

Happy Easter to everyone! I’ll take off until Tuesday, then finish the 1.3.4 release so that it goes out next week. A few last-minute additions have unfortunately delayed the release quite a bit. But it’s worth the wait. Some of the new goodies in 1.3.4 include a fully writable XMLConfiguration, a new Poco::Util::Timer class that […]
