We also have commitment from two other community members (Marian Krivos and Franky Braem) to help significantly with the project. For starters, Marian has retired <a href=\"http:\/\/poco.svn.sourceforge.net\/viewvc\/poco\/poco\/branches\/trunk-pre1.5\/\">old<\/a> and I have just committed brand new <a href=\"http:\/\/poco.svn.sourceforge.net\/viewvc\/poco\/poco\/trunk\/\" target=\"_blank\">trunk<\/a> code. For the time being, it was only built on Windows, but we&#8217;ll have other builds ready within the next week or two.<\/p>\n<p>Most significant new features are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>DynamicAny (now known as Poco::Dynamic::Var, although Poco::DynamicAny will still work) improvements<\/li>\n<li>Poco::Data improvements (DateTime support, bulk operations, SessionPool, Transaction support, async SQL execution, in-memory SQLite &#8230; warning, though &#8211; we broke old Poco::Data code!)<\/li>\n<li>Poco::PDF library<\/li>\n<li>Poco::JSON library and Poco::Util::JSONConfiguration (not in the trunk yet, will be soon)<\/li>\n<li>VS project generator<\/li>\n<li>PocoDoc generator<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And many more other improvements. This code is base for 1.5 release, which we are targeting for mid-September\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Aug 27<\/span> <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">July <em><span style=\"color: #808080;\">4<\/span><\/em> 30<\/span> <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">(to steal the fireworks thunder \ud83d\ude09 )<\/span>. At the same time, we are actively working with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.open-std.org\/jtc1\/sc22\/wg21\/\" target=\"_blank\">C++ Standards Committee<\/a> on the proposal for inclusion of POCO into the C++ standard. Yes, async I\/O is on our TODO list. I won&#8217;t promise it for 1.5, though, unless I get a committed contributor\u00a0willing\u00a0to write it.<\/p>\n<p>Which brings me to the &#8220;last but not least&#8221;: we need <strong>contributors<\/strong> (library or build\/test system owners\/maintainers in particular) and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/pocoproject.org\/community\/sponsorship.html\" target=\"_blank\">sponsors<\/a><\/strong>. If you are\u00a0benefiting\u00a0from POCO, please consider helping in any way you can. This can be by contributing code, owning a library or other concern (build system, tests, samples, platform, OS installation packages &#8230;), providing <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Continuous_integration\">CI<\/a> server space, <a href=\"http:\/\/pocoproject.org\/community\/sponsorship.html\" target=\"_blank\">sponsoring<\/a>, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s join forces and give POCO the boost (no pun intended) it deserves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EDIT (Oct 15 2012):<\/strong> little bit more than 3 months late, we have <a href=\"http:\/\/pocoproject.org\/blog\/?p=667\">POCO 1.5.0<\/a>.
