Incompatible Changes and Possible Transition Issues

The POCO C++ Libraries now require a C++14 compiler (GCC 5, Clang 3.4, Visual C++ 2015).

Visual Studio project and solution files for versions prior to 2015 have been removed. Furthermore, the separate projects and solutions for 64-bit builds have been removed and configurations have been merged in a single project file.

POCO’s fixed-size integer types are now based on <cstdint> types. This changes the definition of Poco::Int64 and Poco::UInt64 on some platforms, which may affect existing code.

Many methods exposing raw pointers have been changed to use smart pointers (usually Poco::SharedPtr or Poco::AutoPtr) instead. This may break some existing code. Specifically, the Logging framework in the Foundation library and the Configuration framework in the Util library have been changed.
