There were three significant changes to the SVN trunk and sandbox recently: Data keywords (use, into, et al.) were moved into Poco::Data::Keywords namespace. All the IO stuff (both sync and async) was moved from Foundation and Net to IO and IO::Socket All the Serial stuff was moved from IO to IO::Serial All these changes do […]
Sergey Kholodilov was kind enough to share his work with us and now we have MySQL Data connector for POCO. At this time, it is only available from SVN and tested with 1.3.3 branch code on Windows, FreeBSD and Linux. POCO community very much appreciates your contribution, Sergey.
Earlier this week, I have attended Stroustrup and Sutter on C++ session at the SD West 2008 conference in Santa Clara, CA.

I have just submitted a first attempt of PocoPDF into the SVN sandbox. It is a wrapper for the Haru PDF library. Haru depends on zlib and libpng, so full source for all three is embedded in PocoPDF. Submitted code works and it comes with two samples – one showing how to create a text […]
As promised a few days ago, here are two new and cool addition to POCO. PageCompiler is a simple compiler that translates HTML pages containing embedded C++ code (using syntax familiar from JSP and PHP) into HTTPRequestHandler classes. ApacheConnector is a module for Apache 2.x that allows you to use POCO HTTPRequestHandler subclasses in Apache. […]
