If you ever have to code C# in exchange for food and shelter, the free C# book for C++ programmers from Charles Petzold may come handy ;-). Seriously now, I did not read the whole thing, but it looks like a decent introduction text, it’s free and it comes from the author with good reputation, […]
I have prepared a Wiki page containing the POCO development roadmap. There’s not much there yet, but this will for sure change in the coming days and weeks. Just keep those feature requests coming…
A Happy New Year to all friends of POCO. 2006 was a great year for POCO, with the 1.0 release in January, the adoption of the Boost license in July, and the 1.2 release in August. 2007 will be even better! A big thank you to all who contributed to POCO, in the form of […]
A merry christmas to everyone from the POCO team at Applied Informatics! Since all of you have been so nice this year, we have a special present for you: the NetSSL library providing SSL/TLS support for Net (based on OpenSSL), which up to now was only available as part of a commercial service level agreement, […]
So, finally, I have delivered. Something. Don’t get me wrong, the thing runs, but there’s more to do before a release. There’s a TODO list here. Briefly, here are the issues: – I am not sure what exactly to do with Attributes and they are all over the original Java API, so I have improvised […]
Inspired by Christmas spirit and Paschal’s threat to go Java, I have actually forced myself to put in some work into servlet container today and align it with the Poco (I still had ancient namespace macros in code). I hope to have SF project and code out some time next week. I’m still undecided on […]
POCO 1.2.7 is available.* This is mostly a bugfix release fixing all bugs and inconveniences reported on Sourceforge and elsewhere. Changes: Poco::File: fixed root directory handling fixed UUIDGenerator documentation clarified Application::setUnixOptions() documentation fixed SF# 1597022: Signed/unsigned warning in StringTokenizer::operator[] fixed SF# 1598601: Message::op= leaks fixed SF# 1605960: PatternFormatter crashes on custom property fixed SF# 1605950: […]
‘Guilty as charged’ is the verdict. I owe an apology to the audience for selling vapourware. I got stuck with Data, RecordSet, ODBC connector & co, so the servlet engine got pushed on the back burner for the ump-th time. But I’m getting ready to give it a shot and push it out the door […]
Wes Peters has created and will be maintaining the FreeBSD Port of POCO. Thank you, Wes! Now that we have a FreeBSD Port, but still no Linux packages: any volunteers who want to maintain RPMs or dpkgs for POCO? Your help is appreciated!
Hi all, just a quick note to keep you informed what’s going on in the Poco World and what will be included in the next Poco beta: A feature that quite some people asked for are static builds. And thanks to Paschal we have that now (for VS7.1, I’m currently doing VS8.0) I spent a […]
