This is the changelog file for the POCO C++ Libraries.

Release 1.3-20070418 (2007-04-18)

=================================

- the HashFunction class template has been changed in an incompatible

way. The member function formerly named hash() is now the function

call operator. If you have defined your own HashFunction classes,

you have to update your code. Sorry for the inconvenience.

- Base64Encoder and HexBinaryEncoder now support an unlimited line length

(no newlines written), by specifying a line length of 0

- minor fix to NotificationQueue sample (reported by Laszlo Keresztfalvi)

- added File::canExecute() and File::setExecutable()

- added SharedMemory class to Foundation

- added FileStream, FileInputStream, FileOutputStream to Foundation

- added NodeAppender class to XML for faster DOM tree creation

- HTTPServerRequest and HTTPServerResponse are now abstract base classes,

actual functionality has moved into HTTPServerRequestImpl and

HTTPServerResponseImpl. This allows us to plug other HTTP servers

into POCO.

- added DynamicAny class to Foundation

- replaced std::fstream with Poco::FileStream across POCO.

- added Poco::Checksum class to Foundation.

- fixed SF# 1700811: conflict in threadpool

Release 1.2.9b (2007-03-25)

===========================

- NumberParser now has stricter syntax requirements: garbage following a number leads to a SyntaxException

(Thanks to phireis@gmail.com for the suggestion)

- fixed SF# 1676830: Don't use -rpath in libraries

- fixed SF# 1670279: AbstractConfiguration::unckeckedExpand crash

- fixed a warning in Hashtable

- HTTPClientSession now uses a keepAliveTimeout for better persistent connection handling

- added DateTime::makeUTC() and DateTime::makeLocal()

- added another constructor to LocalDateTime

- POCO_WIN32_UTF8 is ignored on non-Windows platforms

- fixed a timeout bug (with NetSSL) in HTTPSession

- AsyncChannel is automatically opened with first log()\

Release 1.2.9 (2007-02-26)

==========================

- fixed a formatting problem in Util::HelpFormatter

- HTTPClientSession::sendRequest() now attempts to send the complete request in one network packet.

- improved network performance of ChunkedOutputStream: chunk size and chunk data

are sent in one network packet if possible

- fixed SF# 1655035: Wrong expires field calculation in HTTPCookie

(thanks to Sergey N. Yatskevich for this and other fixes)

- fixed SF# 1655049: Fix discrepancy of a code to the description

- fixed SF# 1655170: Poco::Timezone::standardName() problem on WIN32

- fixed SF# 1629095: POCO_WIN32_UTF8 problem

There is a new function Path::transcode() that can be used to convert a path (or any other string)

from UTF-8 to the current Windows code page. This string can the be passed as a filename

to an fstream or fopen(). This function only does the conversion on Windows,

and only, if POCO_WIN32_UTF8 is defined. Otherwise, it simply returns the unmodified argument.

- fixed SF# 1659607: Probably a bug in Poco::Net::DialogSocket

- HTTPServer network performance improvement: responses that fit into a single network packet

sent with HTTPServerResponse::sendFile() or the new HTTPServerResponse::sendBuffer() are

sent in only one packet.

- added HTTPServerResponse::sendBuffer()

- HTTPServer now sends a Bad Request response if it fails to parse the HTTP request header.

- HTTPServer now sends an Internal Server Error response if the request handler throws an

exception prior to sending a response.- enabled TCP_NODELAY per default on TCPServer/HTTPServer

- fixed a bug in HTTP persistent connection handling

(server does not send Connection: close when it reaches connection maximum)

- HTMLForm - POST submission of URL encoded form no longer uses chunked transfer encoding

(thus improving interoperability with certain web servers)

- integrated Environment.cpp from Main (missing get(var, default))

- added missing AutoPtr include to Util/Application

(and using Poco::AutoPtr is no longer necessary for POCO_APP_MAIN macro)

- fixed SF# 1635420: Per Regents of the University of Calfornia letter,

remove advertising from BSD licensed parts

- fixed SF# 1633133: MultipartWriter writes superluous CR-LF at beginning

Release 1.2.8 (2007-01-04)

==========================

- fixed SF# 1613906: Util/Application.h and GCC 3.3

- fixed a byte order issue (failed test) in IPv6 address formatting

- fixed SF# 1626640: Poco::Net::SocketReactor bug

- fixed client side chunked transfer encoding handling

- fixed client side persistent connection handling

- fixed SF# 1623536: HTTP Server Chunked Transfer Encoding Bug

- improved HTTP server exception text

- fixed SF# 1616294: KeepAlive HTTPServerSession patch

- fixed SF# 1616296: Trivial Poco::TaskCustomNotification patch

- fixed SF# 1619282: PurgeStrategy bug fix

- fixed SF# 1620855: Format problem

there is a new format specifier %z for std::size_t, as well as a new

flag ? for %d, %i, %o, %x meaning any signed or unsigned integer

- fixed SF #1592776: LayeredConfiguration: getRaw should enumerate in reverse order

- SF Patch # 1599848 ] VS 2005 Util build fails

- Logger::dump() now uses std::size_t instead of int for buffer size

- LayeredConfiguration now supports a priority value for each configuration.

Also, it's possible to specify for each configuration added whether it

should be writeable.

- ServerApplication: cd to root directory only if running as a daemon

- added Message::swap()

global Makefile has correct dependencies for samples

on Windows, samples build after libraries are ready
