As of revision 896 the POCO sourceforge trunk features a new class: the NullMutex (Poco/Mutex.h) You now probably ask yourself: What’s so special about this class? Because – as the name suggests – it does nothing. And that’s exactly why we needed it. Mostly all components of POCO are thread-safe. While this is generally a […]

The POCO project team is soliciting feedback on the project itself, the development model, maintenance, releases and any other topic regarding the POCO project state of the affairs. The current state of the project has some troubling aspects associated with it that we […]

I have redone some things in DynamicAny: Added support for empty state as default and empty() function to turn it into empty Made DynamicAnyHolder pure virtual functions (clone(), type() and all convert() and is…() overloads) virtual. All convert() overloads throw if reached at runtime, the querying is…() functions all return false. This has provided a […]
Although WebWidgets is not finished yet, I decided to commit WebWidgets to svn, so that you guys can take a first look. Only VS80 solution files are recent now, events are still incomplete, and I am not really happy with the way ExtJS tables are rendered. Main development branch of WebWidgets is from now on […]
There’s a mailing list thread going on, discussing some proposals for modifications and POCO contributing process. This discussion occasionally turns heated and there is a lot of misinterpretation and misunderstanding going on, which has prompted me to summarize the contributing issues/concerns and post them in one place as a clarification for all the folks who […]
We are currently in progress of changing the WebWidgets library. We now have a core library defining the GUI elements, the CodeGenerators aka Renderers are kept in a separate library. The renderer I am currently working on is a Codegenerator for ExtJs. The code is still very incomplete (especially callbacks, events, table stuff) but writing […]

Evidence of a widespread use is important part of becoming a mainstream framework and raising a potential user confidence. From that standpoint, POCO is not quite there yet, at least not “officially”. We do get frequent hits from many commercial entities, but only a small subset is factually verified and listed to use POCO. This […]
As everyone probably already knows, registration in the Wiki and Forums is broken. Today I tried to upgrade Tiki (the underlying software) to the latest revision, but that did not fix the registration issue, creating new issues instead. Now that I’m sick and tired of this big and ugly whatever named Tiki, I’d like to […]
