poco/CHANGELOG

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

Release 1.3-20070418 (2007-04-18)
=================================

- added HashMap, HashSet classes
- 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.
- added Poco::Tuple
- added AbstractCache::getAllKeys(), improved performance of the get operation
- fixed AbstractCache::size() to do cache replacement before returning the size
- added additional match() method to RegularExpression and documented the fact that the simple
  match() method internally sets RE_ANCHORED and RE_NOTEMPTY.
- added ExpirationDecorator template. Decorates data types so that they can be used with UniqueExpireCaches
- added operator ! to AutoPtr and SharedPtr
- Buffer uses std::size_t instead of int
- Exception::what() now returns exception name instead of message
- added poco_ndc_dbg() macro (same as poco_ndc(), but only enabled in debug builds)
- added Environment::get(name, defaultValue);
- Foundation.h now includes Config.h at the very beginning.
- added replace() and replaceInPlace() to Poco/String.h
- added AutoPtr::assign() and SharedPtr::assign()
- added operator () to AbstractEvent
- gcc Makefiles now strip release builds
- Void now has a == and != operator
- Base64Encoder and HexBinaryEncoder now support an unlimited line length
  (no newlines written), by specifying a line length of 0

- 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

- 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

  This means that the previous problems with PropertyFileConfiguration and IniFileConfiguration when referencing other channels are solved.
- improved options handling: better handling of (non) ambiguities.
  If both an option named "help" and one named "helper" is specified, this no longer causes ambiguity errors.
- added check for duplicate option definition
- ThreadPool bugfix: fixed a crash that occurs on Linux multiprocessor machines 
  (caused by an thread unsafe string assignment corrupting the heap...) 
  (SF# 1575315)
- improved ThreadPool performance
- XML now compiles with -DXML_UNICODE_WCHAR_T (SF# 1575174)
- fixed SF# 1572757: HTML forms can have more than one key/value pair with the same name
- got rid of the dynamic casts in Events, Events/Cache: simpler/faster Delegate < operator, 
  prevents some rare dynamic casts error from occuring when using StrategyCollection with Caches
- improvements to Logger and LoggingConfigurator:
  * added Logger::unsafeGet()
  * added Logger::setProperty(loggerName, propertyName, value)
  * LoggingConfigurator now correctly (re)configures existing Loggers
    (prior to this change, if a Logger named "a.b.c" existed before
    the LoggingConfigurator started its work, and the LoggingConfigurator
    configured a Logger named "a.b", then "a.b.c" would not inherit
    the new configuration).
- improvements to SplitterChannel and EventLogChannel configuration
- improved LoggingRegistry exception messages
- MessageHeader::read() is more liberal with malformed message headers.

Release 1.2.1 (2006-08-29)
==========================

- fixed Config.h header (no more #undefs)

Release 1.2.0 (2006-08-29)
==========================

- DateTime fixes: Julian Day is no longer stored internally. 
  Times (hours, minutes, seconds, ...) are now always taken from an utcValue (if available) and not from the Julian day.
  The Julian day is only used for calculating year, month and day (except when the Julian day is the only thing we have)
  This helps us get rid of rounding errors that the Julian Day arithmetic introduced.- on Windows, UUIDGenerator no longer uses Netbios, but GetAdaptersInfo instead
- The main Makefile now has correct dependencies
- updated poco-doc.pl with latest version by Caleb Epstein
- fixed SF #1542722: InflatingInputStream: buffer error

- fixed SF #1542253 (ServerApplication::handleOption doesn't call Application::handleOption)
- added Application::stopOptionsProcessing()
- updated samples
- Util::Application command line handling now supports:
  * argument validation (Option::validator(); see Validator, IntValidator, RegExpValidator)
  * binding of argument values to config properties (Option::binding())
  * callbacks for arguments (Option::callback())
  * checking of required parameters
- changed header file locations:
  Foundation headers are now in Poco (#include "Poco/Foundation.h")
  XML headers are now in Poco/XML, Poco/SAX and Poco/DOM (#include "Poco/XML/XML.h")
  Util headers are now in Poco/Util (#include "Poco/Util/Util.h")
  etc.
  Unfortunately, this change will break existing code. However, fixing the code is
  a matter of a few global search/replace operations and can be done quickly.
  On the plus side, POCO is now a much better citizen when used with other
  libraries.
- changed namespaces:
  Foundation is now Poco
  XML is now Poco::XML

- added additional test case to HTTPServer test suite- HTMLForm: should now work with request methods other than POST and GET (all non-POST requests are treated the same as GET)
- clarified HTMLForm documentation
- HTMLForm bugfix: uploaded files no longer end up in value; PartHandler is called instead
- NameValueCollection: added get(name, defaultValue)
- added HTTPFormServer sample
- added Foundation::HashTable and SimpleHashTable

- added Buffer template class to Foundation
- added the UnicodeConverter utility class. This is mainly used for Windows Unicode support and probably of little use for anything else.

  amespaces and namespace-prefixes SAX2 features are used)
- upgraded expat to 2.0 pre-release (2005-12-27) snapshot
- added TeeInputStream and TeeOutputStream classes
