One of the questions that comes up frequently when installing an OSP-based application on an end-user system is where to put the OSP codeCache. The OSP framework itself does not care where the codeCache is located, so you’re basically free to put it wherever you’d like. Of course, there are system-specific conventions and restrictions where […]
The 1.3.6 branch should be in pretty good shape now, except for that NetSSL leak I mentioned in a previous post. Before officially releasing 1.3.6, I’d like to have it tested a bit more. So if you are currently using 1.3.5 and can donate some time, please get 1.3.6 from SVN and test it with […]
If anyone wonders what are those recent sandbox commits about, I’ve been working on some reports recently and opted to use ExtJS in conjunction with the sandbox JSON and PDF libraries. Well, the verdict is that those two sandbox libs are actually quite stable and usable. JSON even comes with ExtJS remoting (a.k.a. Ext.Direct) support. […]
This week I fixed a few more issues for the upcoming 1.3.6 release. Everything is in the 1.3.6 branch in SVN. There are a few more bugs that need to be fixed before we can release. One that’s particulary nasty is #2864380. The memory leak only occurs if client or server certificate validation is performed […]
For those of you on Facebook, there is now a POCO group.
These days in September 2004, five years ago, I started working on a set of C++ libraries that would reflect my idea of how to write proper C++ programs. What I wanted was a set of C++ libraries for the internet age. Easy to use and quick to learn for those already familiar with things […]
Issam Lahlali, lead developer of the CppDepend static analyzer, was nice enough to tell me about a source code analysis of POCO, done with CppDepend. You can find the detailed analysis in his blog. In summary, POCO is well designed and implemented, according to his analysis. Not that I would have expected anything else ;-), […]
I have added JSONParser & friends to the sandbox. The code was ported from JSON Parser. At first, I intended to wrap the library, but things got really messy, so I decided to pull out what I need and tweak it into a more tidy codebase. Experience was a nice reminder of why I have […]
… which is now C++1x (and hoping x is small number). Concepts were, in my opinion, really cool feature (types of types) that would have greatly improved template compilation error reporting and also provide help in documenting iterators as well as getting rid of traits. Stroustrup has put 7 years of work into the feature. […]
I have created a branch for the 1.3.6 release today. This is a bugfix release that fixes the bugs introduced with 1.3.4/1.3.5, plus some other open issues. 1.3.6 will be released in the coming weeks.
