I have just added a build configuration for the iPhone (using the Apple SDK) to the SVN Repository (will also be part of 1.3.4). So, now it’s possible to use POCO in iPhone applications with ease.

How does functional programming, pointers and memory relate to this mess we call economy? Check out at Bool Shift.
With the 1.4 release now delayed for a few more weeks, we will put out a 1.3.4 release in February. Focus of this release will be bugfixes (the known bugs in 1.3.3), performance improvements (I am currently spending some time with valgrind/kcachgrind) and other minor improvements. After that, we’ll hopefully finish 1.4 for a release […]

The current website will be temporarily unavailable while we make the switch (especially the blog, wiki and forums). Since the change also involves a DNS update, it may […]

Now that the 1.3.3 release is out, it’s time for the next undertaking – the POCO project website update. As discussed previously, we will replace Tiki with MediaWiki and phpBB.
