We now have two mailing lists available for users of our C++ libraries and tools:
- appinf-announce is a read-only list used for important announcements from Applied Informatics, such as new releases or important patches.
- appinf-user is a general discussions list.
In addition, there is the poco-develop lists for users of the POCO C++ Libraries.

The POCO C++ Libraries, as well as our commercial libraries and tools (Fast Infoset, Remoting, Open Service Platform), can now be used for Windows CE development as well. We have created a port of the POCO C++ Libraries to Windows CE 6 based on the current 1.3.7 branch. The port should work on Windows CE 5.x as well, however, testing has only been done on a Windows CE 6 device. There are a few minor restrictions to some POCO features, due to restrictions in the Windows CE operating system (e.g., no support for environment variables, no pipes), but apart from that, almost all libraries can be used.
Starting today, the Windows CE port is available to our support subscription customers and sponsors of the POCO C++ Libraries project upon request. If you’re not yet a support customer, you can become one here.
More information about the Windows CE port is available here.

2009.2p4 is another patch release for 2009.2 that fixes bugs in Remoting, OSP and Fast Infoset. Also included is better iPhone support (new build configurations for iPhone and iPhoneSimulator). Upgrading is recommended. For a list of changes, please see the release notes for Fast Infoset, OSP and Remoting.

2009.2p2 is another patch release for 2009.2 that fixes bugs in the Foundation, XML, Net, Crypto and NetSSL libraries. The release also includes performance improvements in the Fast Infoset library. OSP and Remoting have not been changed for this release. Upgrading is recommended.

2009.2p1 is a patch release for 2009.2 that fixes a few bugs introduced in previous releases. Upgrading is recommended for everyone using the Crypto, NetSSL and XML libraries. There are no changes to OSP, Remoting and our other commercial libraries and tools.

Release 2009.2 of our C++ Libraries and Tools is now available. We have updated our evaluation packages as well. 2009.2 is based on POCO C++ Libraries release 1.3.6 (which was also released today) and contains major improvements to our Remoting toolkit. Upgrading to this release is highly recommended.
November 5th, 2009, Author: guenter, Category: Announcements, Remoting
In a few weeks the 2009.2 release of our libraries and tools will be available. The new release will bring some significant improvements to Remoting. First of all, WSDL generation for SOAP web services has been improved. RemoteGen can now generate Document/Literal wrapped-style WSDL, which works much better with the Microsoft .NET (both Remoting and WCF) code generators. Note that the actual wire format has not changed, only the generated WSDL.
Then, we have support for new types – Poco::URI is now supported, and we have optimized the way std::vector is serialized. This is especially useful for web services, where std::vector can be used to transfer binary data. Therefore, we now serialize that type as base64Binary, which greatly improves the performance. The Binary transport also handles this type in an optimized way, resulting in better performance there as well. Remoting now also supports true out parameters. Since C++ does not provide a way to mark a parameter as out only, this is specified with an attribute. And finally, various bugs have been fixed as well.

We recently fixed a rather unfortunate bug in the Remoting deserialization code causing container type (vector, set, map) return values being deserialized incorrectly. A patch is available for customers. Please login to our download area where you’ll find a fixed TypeDeserializer.h header file. We recommend everyone to apply the patch.

Last week we finished a first port of the POCO C++ Libraries to Windows Embedded CE (5.0 and later). The port is based on the upcoming 1.3.6 release, and is currently maintained in a separate code branch. Eventually (but not for 1.3.6), the CE branch will be integrated into the main branch. Currently, only Foundation, XML, Util and Net are available for Windows CE, but for the other libraries porting should simply be a matter of creating an appropriate project file for Visual Studio. For the port, we used Visual Studio 2008 with the Windows Mobile 6 SDK (which is based on CE 5.0).
If you want to try out the port, send us a quick message and we’ll send you the download link.

Recently we have been working on two new transport implementations for Remoting. The first one is based on Unix Named Pipes and is really great for implementing object-based IPC on Unix/Linux platforms, as Named Pipes have less overhead than localhost sockets.
The other new transport is an extension of the existing Binary transport and allows for bidirectional communication. The main advantage of this transport is that the server can itself send requests to the client over the same socket connection the client uses to talk to the server. This is good for implementing asynchronous notifications from the server to the client – and since the existing client connection is used, this will also work across firewalls.
Both transport implementations will be part of an upcoming POCO Platform release. If you want to try these transports out now, get in touch with us.
