POCO 1.3.2 is finished. Downloads and documentation have been updated. There is also a Changelog for the curious. A big thank you to everyone who contributed the code and bug reports that made this release possible!
Release 1.3.2 is on its way. For the impatient, a release candidate is available from the SVN repository. Following is a list of changes since 1.3.1: – added POCO_NO_SHAREDMEMORY to Config.h – POCO_NO_WSTRING now really disables all wide string related calls – added template specialization for string hashfunction (performance) – XML parser performance improvements (SAX […]
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. […]
I love things that “just work”. Ubuntu distro is supposed to be one of those things. Some time ago, I tried to install it on an old laptop and ended up with LCD panel split in three screens (I’m not kidding) and mouse popping up all over the place. Then I tried Mepis and I […]
OK, forget about the step I mentioned before – it’s gone and we have true bulk instead. For the drivers/connectors that support it properly, that is. Namely, when one gets into implementation of more advanced features, some ODBC drivers simply do not live up to the expectations. I was not able to find PostgreSQL driver […]
The XML schema support library has reached a state where I can say: yep, it’s doing something useful. I gave it a test run with the MPEG-7 schema files (one of the larger schemas I know). More than 300 C++ header and source files are generated in less than a few seconds, all beautifully and […]
Since upgrading the Tiki software to the latest release (due to the security issue posted earlier), the wiki and forum registration is unfortunately broken, so registering a new user does not work. We are working on the issue with the Tiki developers and hope to have it fixed soon. In the meantime, just reply to […]
A couple of new features supported by PocoData: multiple resultsets (for batches of statements and stored procedures/functions returning cursors) step – variable number of fetched rows Date and Time binding/extraction (in addition to DateTime) The step feature only works for connectors that support it (e.g. ODBC), otherwise it is silently ignored (e.g. SQLite). Date and […]
Today I finished the implementation of our XML schema parser. Just need to test it throughly and then I can start to implement a C++ code generator based on schema information. This should work flawlessly together with PocoRemoting 🙂 Generating code is so much more fun than writing it…
