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 […]
For those folks who are wondering what’s been going on, when is there going to be next release etc, here’s the answer: Prior to 1.3.3 release, I voluntarily took over taking care of the ongoing project maintenance. Then Guenter kicked in for 1.3.3 release, did the great deal of work and early October we pushed […]
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone using and contributing to the POCO C++ Libraries. 2008 was a great year for the POCO Project, and 2009 will be even better!
The new POCO website is finally online. As discussed previously, we have replaced the Tiki with phpBB and MediaWiki. For forum access, all forum users must reset their password. Posting Blog comments and editing the Wiki does not require an account, although we suggest you log yourself into the Wiki before you edit a page. […]
There is a new interview with Bjarne Stroustrup on the Geek of the Week site where Bjarne mentions POCO along with Boost and Qt. We’re finally being recognized. Even more, Bjarne now also has a link to POCO on his website (look at the bottom – we’re described as “Web development support library”) 🙂
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating.
Here at Applied Informatics, we like to have fun at work. We recently built a Mindstorms vehicle that’s remote controlled by the iPhone’s accelerometer. To add some POCO touch to it, the iPhone does not talk directly to the Mindstorms NXT, but to a Digi ConnectCore 9P running Linux and a POCO-based application. Connected to […]
Today we’ve finally reached more than 3000 monthly downloads of the POCO C++ Libraries, according to SourceForge download statistics. Still a looong way to go until we reach the 2000+ downloads a day that Boost has, though…
The second installment of DynamicAny article has been published in the October issue of ACCU Overload. Speed and code size comparison benchmarks against boost::any and boost::lexical_cast are the topics addressed in this installment. Enjoy.
We have made some more progress with the new website, and we will try to do the switch over to the new site next Monday (Oct. 27). 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 […]
