poco/CHANGELOG

This is the changelog file for the C++ Portable Components.

Release 1.1.2 (2006-07-07)
==========================

- Changed license to Boost license


Release 1.1.1 (2006-04-03)
==========================

- NetSSL_OpenSSL now supports separate certificate verification
  settings for client and server.
- fixed SF #1460309 (enumerating network interfaces failed on 64bit Linux)
- TCPServer no longer crashes if accept() fails


Release 1.1.0 (2006-03-23)
==========================

- events no longer require awkward += new syntax
- source code and documentation cleanups
- basic support for new compilers and platforms


Release 1.1b2 (2006-03-04)
==========================

- made NetSSL threadsafe (added locking callbacks for OpenSSL)
- improved OpenSSL initialization (random generator seeding)
- various changes to improve compatibility with various platforms


Release 1.1b1 (2006-03-03)
==========================

- New Events package in Foundation. The package supports C#-style event handling
- New Cache package in Foundation: a templates-based caching framework
- added Any class to Foundation
- added DBLite library
- fixed a memory leak with layered configurations in the application
- made POCO_DLL the default (unless POCO_STATIC is #defined)
  It is no longer necessary to specify POCO_DLL in projects that use Poco
  (SourceForge Patch #1408231 and Feature Request #1407575).
- 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.
- added Path::resolve()
- added Windows Unicode support. This calls the Unicode variant of the Windows API functions. 
  For this to work, all strings must be UTF-8 encoded and POCO_WIN32_UTF8 must be defined in all compilation units.
- added StreamCopier::copyToString()
- added URIStreamOpener::unregisterStreamFactory() and new variants of URIStreamOpener::open() that also work with filesystem paths.
  This fixes SourceForge Bug #1409064 and Feature Request #1409062.
- added NodeIterator::currentNodeNP() to XML library
- added some sanity checks to UTF8Encoding::convert()
- added NetSSL - SSL support for Net library, based on OpenSSL
- console output of processes launched with Process::launch() is now visible


Release 1.0.0 (2006-01-19)
==========================

- removed unnecessary console output from ProcessTest
- documentation fixes


Release 1.0b2 (2006-01-16)
==========================

- added ProcessHandle class
- Process::launch() now returns a ProcessHandle instead of a process ID.
  This fixes a potential problem on Windows with Process::wait() when
  the process terminates before wait() is called.
- added SplitterChannel::close()
- added Logger::destroy()
- added POP3ClientSession::deleteMessage()
- added test for Process::launch()
- documentation fixes


Release 1.0b1 (2006-01-09)
==========================

- improved recognition of Windows paths in Path::parseGuess()
- added setCurrentLineNumber()/getCurrentLineNumber() to CountingStreamBuf
- improvememts to StreamTokenizer and Token; fixed documentation
- added a workaround for some strange istream behaviour with VS 2005 and FTPClientSessionTest
- improved exception/error reporting in cppunit
- added POP3ClientSession
- added Process::launch() and Process::wait()
- added Mail sample
- added MailStream and SMTPClientSession classes
- renamed some methods in DialogSocket to make them more general
- NullPartHandler has moved out of HTMLForm.cpp into a separate file
- Base64Encoder now always writes \r\n line ends
- MessageHeader::quote has an optional addition arg controlling the treatment of whitespace
- bugfix: MultipartReader had a problem with empty lines (\r\n sequences) in a part
- added MailMessage and MailRecipient classes
- added text encoding support for Windows-1252 codepage


Release 1.0a1 (2006-01-03) [internal]
=====================================

- mediaType is used consistently to refer to a MIME media type (some occurences of contentType and mimeType have been replaced)

- added MultipartWriter::stream()

- added comparison operators to Socket so that Sockets can be used as keys in maps
- added Socket::setBlocking()
- added StreamSocket::connectNB() (non-blocking connect)
- added Observer::accepts()
- added SocketReactor, SocketConnector and SocketAcceptor classes to support event-based socket programming
- NamespacePrefixesStrategy now uses expat's XML_SetReturnNSTriplet(). 
  The previously used separate namespace handling code has been removed. 
  This improves performance if NamespacePrefixesStrategy is used (both the n
  amespaces and namespace-prefixes SAX2 features are used)
- upgraded expat to 2.0 pre-release (2005-12-27) snapshot
- added TeeInputStream and TeeOutputStream classes
- added download sample for URIStreamOpener
- renamed registerOpener() to registerFactory() in HTTPStreamFactory and FTPStreamFactory

- added samples for Net library
- added uptime() and startTime() to Util::Application
- added DateTimeFormatter::format() for Timespan
- added ErrorHandler class and better exception handling for threads
- added poco_debugger() and poco_debugger_msg() macros
- added project and solution files for Visual Studio 2005 (due to some bugs/leaks in Microsofts standard library - see 
  http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx?feedbackid=e08bd793-3fef-40ff-adda-ed313e0eafcc
  we do not recommend using this for production purposes)
- fixed two problems with out-of-range string iterator in Path (the testsuite triggered an assertion in VC++ 8.0)

- added Net to Windows build.cmd script
- added swap() to various classes that already support assignment

- fixed documentation in BinaryWriter.h and BinaryReader.h
- added explicit support for network byte order to BinaryReader and BinaryWriter

- BinaryReader: renamed readRawData() to readRaw() to be consistent with BinaryWriter::writeRaw()
- added support for uppercase output to HexBinaryEncoder.
- added MediaType class
- added QuotedPrintableEncoder and QuotedPrintableDecoder classes
- renamed ObjectFactory to Instantiator. This should prevent the confusion caused by DynamicFactory and ObjectFactory. Sorry for the inconvenience if you are already using this.
- AttachmentSource::filename() now returns const string&
- added StringAttachmentSource
- replaced old-style C casts with C++ casts in NetworkInterface.cpp
- MutexImpl (WIN32): replaced InitializeCriticalSection with InitializeCriticalSectionAndSpinCount, which should increase performance on multiprocessor or multicore systems when many locks are used.

- HTTPStreamOpener now also works with no-path URIs (like http://www.appinf.com)
- fixed wrong delete usage (plain delete instead of delete [] was used in a few cases)
