Release 1.10.0 (2020-01-27)
===========================

- This release now requires a C++14 compiler (GCC 5, Clang 3.4, Visual C++ 2015).

  been removed. Furthermore, the separate projects and solutions for 64-bit builds
  have been removed and configurations have been merged in a single project file.

  the definition of Poco::Int64 and Poco::UInt64 on some platforms.
- Many methods exposing raw pointers have been changed to use smart pointers
  (usually Poco::SharedPtr or Poco::AutoPtr) instead. This may break some existing
  code. Specifically, the Logging framework in the Foundation library and the
  Configuration framework in the Util library have been changed.
- New JWT library for dealing with JSON Web Tokens.

- Poco::format(): an argument that does not match the format
  specifier no longer results in a BadCastException. The string [ERRFMT] is
  written to the result string instead.
- PageCompiler: added createSession page attribute.


Release 1.4.2p1 (2011-09-24)
============================

- On Linux, the RTLD_DEEPBIND option is no longer passed to dlopen().
  This change was introduced in 1.4.2 to solve a specific problem one customer
  was having. Unfortunately, it leads to problems with RTTI.
- It's now possible to pass flags (SHLIB_GLOBAL, SHLIB_LOCAL) to
  Poco::SharedLibrary::load() (and the constructor implicitly calling load()),
  controlling the mode flags (RTLD_GLOBAL, RTLD_LOCAL) passed to dlopen().
  On platforms not using dlopen(), these flags are ignored.
- fixed SF# 3400267: Path_WIN32.cpp bug


Release 1.4.2 (2011-08-28)
==========================

- added Poco::DateTimeFormat::ISO8601_FRAC_FORMAT
- added new Poco::DateTimeFormatter and Poco::DateTimeParser format specifier:
  %s for seconds with optional fractions of a second
- fixed a problem with ioctl() on BSD platforms (including OS X) where the
  second argument to ioctl() is unsigned long instead of int, causing bad
  things on a OS X 64-bit kernel.
- fixed a potential endless loop when enumerating IPv6 network addresses
  (reported by Laurent Carcagno)
- new compile-time config option on Windows to set thread names in
  debugger. Enable with -DPOCO_WIN32_DEBUGGER_THREAD_NAMES. Available
  only in debug builds.
- Cipher can now create Base64 and HexBinary encoded output without linefeeds
  (suitable for use in cookies, etc.)
- added Poco::Path::popFrontDirectory()
- improved VxWorks support
- IPv6 fixes: added proper scope id handling in IPAddress, SocketAddress
  and related classes.
- Added Poco::Net::ServerSocket::bind6() which allows control over the
  IPPROTO_IPV6/IPV6_V6ONLY socket option.
- Removed Poco::MD2Engine class due to licensing issues (the
  license for the MD2 code from RSA only allows non-commercial
  use). Note that the MD4 and MD5 code from RSA does not have
  this issue.
- fixed a Net HTTP client testsuite issue where some tests might
  have failed due to prematurely aborted connections by
  the HTTPTestServer.
- Poco::Net::SocketAddress: when there is more than one address
  returned by a DNS lookup for a name, IPv4 addresses will be
  preferred to IPv6 ones.
- NetworkInterface::list() now also returns IPv4 interfaces on Windows when
  built with -DPOCO_HAVE_IPv6
- XMLWriter: fixed a bug with attribute namespaces (no namespace prefix
  written if attribute namespace is the same as element namespace)
- fixed SF# 3378588: Mismatched new[]/delete (in RSAEncryptImpl and RSADecryptImpl)
- fixed SF# 3212954 (OpenSSLInitializer::uninitialize() crash) and
  SF# 3196862 (Static OpenSSLInitializer instance causes Windows deadlocks) by
  removing the static Poco::Crypto::OpenSSLInitializer instance. Automatic OpenSSL
  initialization is now done through Poco::Crypto::Cipher, Poco::Crypto::CipherKey,
  Poco::Crypto::X509Certificate, Poco::Net::Context classes; however, it is still
  recommended to call Poco::Crypto::initializeCrypto() and
  Poco::Crypto::uninitializeCrypto() early at application startup, and late at
  shutdown respectively (or Poco::Net::initializeSSL()/Poco::Net::uninitializeSSL()
  if the NetSSL library is used) to avoid multiple full OpenSSL init/uninit cycles
  during application runtime.
- Poco::Logger now also support a symbolic log level "none"
  (for use with setLevel()) that disables logging completely
  for that Logger (equivalent to setLevel(0)).
- Added experimental Android support, using the existing gmake-based
  build system.
- fixed SF# 3288584: DateTimeFormatter link error
- fixed SF# 3187117: Typo in InflatingInputStream doc
- fixed SF# 3309731: _WIN32_WCE comparison should be with 0x600 not 600
- fixed SF# 3393026: RegularExpression.h identical enum value
- fixed SF# 3274222: AtomicCounter's postfix operators aren't atomic on Windows
- fixed SF# 3317177: Handle leak on windows
- fixed SF# 3181882: Poco::URI::getPathEtc() double-encodes query
- fixed SF# 3379935: ThreadPool Start Bug
- fixed SF# 3354451: Poco::Format::parsePrec never sets the precision to zero
- fixed SF# 3387258: _MAX_PATH used but unknown in Path_WIN32
- fixed a problem in RSAKeyImpl where direct access to the RSA in a EVP_PKEY
  would no longer work in recent OpenSSL versions. Using EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA()
  fixes the issue.
- added Poco::Crypto::EncryptingInputStream, Poco::Crypto::EncryptingOutputStream,
  Poco::Crypto::DecryptingInputStream and Poco::Crypto::DecryptingOutputStream.
- fixed SF# 3148126: HTTPSClientSession destructor (!) throws an IOException
- fixed SF# 3178098: Add constructor to Poco::TemporaryFile to specify directory
- fixed SF# 3175310: Absolute path when device
- fixed SF# 3301207: Guided tour example contradicts apidoc (API doc was wrong)
- Poco::Net::HTTPMessage::setContentLength() and Poco::Net::HTTPMessage::getContentLength() now
  use std::streamsize instead of int. This enables 64-bit Content-Length support at least
  on 64-bit platforms.
- fixed SF# 3177530: TemporaryFile::tempName() + glob bug on xp
- fixed SF# 3177372: FileChannel documentation inconsistency
- added %E format specifier to Poco::PattermFormatter (epoch time in seconds
  since midnight, January 1 1970)
- On Windows, Poco::Util::ServerApplication now supports a /description command
  line argument for specifying a service description (together with /registerService)
- added Poco::Util::WinService::setDescription() and
  Poco::Util::WinService::getDescription()
- fixed SF# 3155477: Incorrect URI path handling
- fixed SF# 3309736: Extended Exception macros to set default exception code
  new macro is named POCO_DECLARE_EXCEPTION_CODE
- added getter functions for modulus and exponents to Poco::Crypto::RSAKey.
- added Poco::Net::SocketAddress::operator == () and
  Poco::Net::SocketAddress::operator != ()
- fixed SF# 3182746: IPAddress.cpp IPv6 bug on big-endian
- fixed SF# 3196961: Unix daemon fails to loadConfiguration() if started from cwd
- fixed SF# 3393700: NotificationCenter may call a removed observer and crash.
- Reworked implementation of the events framework (Poco::BasicEvent and friends).
  The framework is now completely multithreading save (even in the case that
  an event subscriber object unsubscribes and is deleted while an event is
  being dispatched). Also, the restriction that any object can only register
  one delegate for each event has been removed. For most cases, dispatching
  events should be faster, as dispatching an event now needs less dynamic memory
  allocations.
- fixed SF# 3178109: getNodeByPath() changes:
  getNodeByPath() and getNodeByPathNS() have been moved to Poco::XML::Node.
  Furthermore, when invoked on a Poco::XML::Document, the behavior has changed
  so that the document element is now included when traversing the path (previously,
  traversal would start at the document element, now it starts at the document).
  The path expression can now start with a double-slash, which results in a recursive
  search for the path's first element in the DOM tree.
- fixed SF# 3382935: String data being truncated using ODBC, and
  SF# 2921813: Wrong implementation of the ODBC string binding


Release 1.4.1p1 (2011-02-08)
============================

- Poco::Mutex is now a recursive mutex again on Linux
  (this was caused by an unfortunate feature test for
  PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE which did not work on Linux
  as PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE is an enum value and not
  a macro)
- Poco::Net::SecureSocketImpl::abort() now only shuts
  down the underlying socket connection and does not free
  the SSL object, due to multithreading issues.


Release 1.4.1 (2011-01-29)
==========================

- fixed SF# 3150223: Poco::BinaryReader cannot read std::vector correctly
- fixed SF# 3146326: SharedMemory issue
- made Poco::Net::HTTPSession::abort() virtual
- added Poco::Net::SecureStreamSocket::abort() to immediately close
  a SSL/TLS connection without performing an orderly SSL/TLS shutdown.
- fixed SF# 3148126: HTTPSClientSession destructor (!) throws an IOException.
  Added try/catch block to Poco::Net::SecureSocketImpl destructor.
- added additional constructor to Poco::Net::HTTPSClientSession, taking
  both a socket and a session object.
- Poco::Net::HTTPSession::abort() now also can be used with a
  Poco::Net::HTTPSClientSession.
- fixed SF# 3148045: make clean and distclean issues
- changed Data library names on Unix/Linux platforms to
  match the names on Windows (PocoSQLite -> PocoDataSQLite,
  PocoMySQL -> PocoDataMySQL, PocoODBC -> PocoDataODBC)
- added additional options to configure script
- added additional documentation to Poco::Net::HTTPClientSession
- Poco::Net::HTTPClientSession::receiveResponse() closes the connection
  if an exception is thrown while reading the response header.
  This ensures that a new connection will be set up for the next request
  if persistent connections are used.
- improved Poco::Net::MultipartDecoder performance by reading directly from streambuf
- improved performance of Poco::Base64Encoder, Poco::Base64Decoder,
  Poco::HexBinaryEncoder and Poco::HexBinaryDecoder by working directly with the
  given stream's streambuf.
- improved performance of MessageHeader::read() by reading directly from streambuf
  instead of istream.
- it is now possible to specify additional MIME part header fields
  for a MIME part through the Poco::Net::PartSource class.
- upgraded SQLite to release 3.7.4
- added experimental VxWorks support for VxWorks 5.5.1/Tornado 2.2 and
  newer. Please see the VxWorks Platform Notes in the reference documentation
  for more information. Currently, the VxWorks is untested; full support
  will be available in release 1.4.2.
- fixed SF# 3165918: Poco::DynamicAny fails to convert from string to float
- fixed SF# 3165910: Poco::Net::MessageHeader does not accept HTTP conforming header
- made Poco::Task::cancel() virtual so that tasks can implement custom
  cancellation behavior.
- added optional argument to Poco::Util::WinRegistryKey constructor
  to specify additional flags (in addition to KEY_READ and KEY_WRITE)
  for the samDesired argument of RegOpenKeyEx() or RegCreateKeyEx().
- improved Poco::BasicEvent::notify() performance by avoiding an unnecessary heap
  allocation.
- added additional well-known port numbers to Poco::URI: rtsp, sip, sips, xmpp.
- added Poco::Net::MediaType::matchesRange()
- improved invalid socket handling: a Poco::Net::InvalidSocketException is
  now thrown instead of an assertion when an operation is attempted on a closed or
  otherwise uninitialized socket.


Release 1.4.0 (2010-12-14)
==========================

- SSLManager: documentation fixes, code cleanup
- SSLManager: renamed PrivateKeyPassPhrase event to PrivateKeyPassphraseRequired
- added HTTPServerRequestImpl::socket() to get access to the underlying socket
- added Socket::secure() to find out whether a given socket supports SSL/TLS
- added SecureStreamSocket::havePeerCertificate()
- NetSSL: added support for turning off extended certificate validation (hostname matching)
- fixed SF# 2941228: ICMPClient::ping() issues on Mac OS X
- fixed SF# 2941231: ICMPEventArgs out of bounds array access
- added PageCompiler sample
- added missing newline at end of xmlparse.c
- Poco::Glob can now be used with an empty pattern which will match nothing (patch from Kim Graesman)
- added support for HTTP proxy authentication (Basic authentication only)
- fixed SF# 2958959: XMLWriter must encode CR, LF and TAB in attribute values as character entities.
- HTMLForm now supports PUT requests as well (see <http://pocoproject.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2163&p=3930#p3930>)
- fixed SF# #2970521: FileOutputStream and file permissions.
  (also fixed in File class)
- removed an unused (and wrong) default parameter from EventImpl constructor for WIN32.
- added full support for session caching to NetSSL_OpenSSL
- fixed SF# 2984454: Poco::Util::Timer::scheduleAtFixedRate() works incorrectly
- fixed a bug in Poco::Util::Timer that could lead to high CPU load if
  the system clock is moved forward.
- added system.nodeId to SystemConfiguration
- added a note to Poco::Util::ServerApplication documentation regarding
  creation of threads
- added Poco::Net::IPAddress::broadcast() and Poco::Net::IPAddress::wildcard() to
  create broadcast (255.255.255.255) and wildcard (0.0.0.0) addresses.
- fixed SF# 2916154: Poco::Net::IPAddress::isLoopback() only works for 127.0.0.1.
- added build configuration for iPhone Simulator
- GNU Make based build system provides new variables: POCO_HOST_BINDIR, POCO_HOST_BINPATH,
  POCO_HOST_LIBDIR, POCO_HOST_LIBPATH and POCO_TARGET_* equivalents.
- Application::initialize() and Application::uninitialize() will now be called from within run().
  This solves various issues with uninitialize() not being called, or being called inappropriately
  from the Application destructor.
  Please note that this change will break applications that use the Application class,
  but only call init() and not run().
- added /startup option to specify startup mode for Windows services (automatic or manual)
- fixed SF# 2967354: SecureSocketImpl shutdown/close problem
- fixed SF# 3006340: LinearHashTable grows even if key already exists
- fixed a particularly nasty Windows error handling issue that manifested itself on WinCE:
  WSAGetLastError() would be called after a std::string was created. The string creation could result
  in a heap operation which called a Windows API to allocate memory. This would reset the
  GetLastError() error code. Since WSAGetLastError() is just an alias for GetLastError(), the actual
  error code from the socket operation would be lost.
- upgraded SQLite to 3.7.3
- added --header-prefix option to PageCompiler
- fixed SF# 3003875: SQLite data binding is broken
- fixed SF# 2993988: Issue with multiple calls to open()/close() on File*Stream
- fixed SF# 2990256: HTMLForm and file uploads
- fixed SF# 2969227: DateTimeParser bug
- fixed SF# 2966698: Socket connect with timeout issue
- fixed SF# 2981041: Bind NULL to a query (patch supplied)
- fixed SF# 2961419: UTF8Encoding::convert() doesn't work properly in DEBUG mode
- fixed SF# 2957068: Timeout value not picked up by proxy in HTTPSClientSession
- fixed NetSSL_OpenSSL test runner for Poco::Util::Application class changes
- Poco::AbstractEvent, Poco::AbstractCache and related classes now accept a Mutex class as additional template argument.
  Poco::NullMutex can be used if no synchronization is desired.
- Added Poco::AbstractEvent::empty() to check whether an event has registered delegates.
- Poco::URI now correctly handles IPv6 addresses.
- Added Poco::Nullable class template.
- Added Poco::NullMutex, a no-op mutex to be used as template argument for template classes
  taking a mutex policy argument.
- Poco::XML::XMLWriter: fixed a namespace handling issue that occured with startPrefixMapping() and endPrefixMapping()
- Poco::Net::Context now allows for loading certificates and private keys from Poco::Crypto::X509Certificate objects
  and Poco::Crypto::RSAKey objects.
- Poco::Crypto::RSAKey no longer uses temporary files for stream operations. Memory buffers are used instead.
- fixed SF# 2957865: added Poco::UUID::tryParse()
- All Zip classes now use Poco::File[Input|Output]Stream instead of std::[i|o]fstream.
  UTF-8 filenames will now be handled correctly on Windows.
- fixed SF# 2902029: zlib flush support (Z_SYNC_FLUSH)
- added Poco::TextBufferIterator class
- fixed SF# 2977249: Use epoll instead select under Linux
  Socket::select() and Socket::poll() will use epoll under Linux if the Net library is compiled
  with -DPOCO_HAVE_FD_EPOLL. This is the default for the Linux build configuration (but not for
  the various build configurations targeting embedded Linux platforms).
- fixed SF# 2941664: Memory leak in DeflatingStream with zero-length streams (also fixed some other potential,
  but unlikely, memory leaks)
- fixed SF# 2946457: added RejectCertificateHandler
- fixed SF# 2946621: Poco::Path bug with POCO_WIN32_UTF8
- fixed SF# 2929805: Environment::nodeId() does not work if no eth0 device exists
- Environment::nodeId() no longer throws if no hardware ethernet address can be determined.
  It returns an all-zero address instead.
- Added additional classification functions to Poco::Unicode class; made classification functions inline.
- added Ascii class for ASCII character classification.
  Methods of the Ascii class are now used instead of the
  standard library functions (std::isspace(), etc.) due to
  possible inconsistent results or assertions when the
  standard library functions are used with character codes
  outside the ASCII range.
- Poco::Net::MailMessage: fixed a bug in StringPartHandler that resulted in incorrect handling of non-ASCII data if
  char is signed.
- Improved Poco::Net::SMTPClientSession compatibility with various mail servers when using AUTH_LOGIN authentication.
- Added CRAM-SHA1 support to Poco::Net::SMTPClientSession
- Poco::Net::SMTPClientSession now also supports login with AUTH PLAIN.
- Added Poco::Net::SecureSMTPClientSession class, supporting STARTTLS for secure SMTP connections.
- fixed an issue with SharedMemory on POSIX systems, where a shared memory region would be deleted
  despite the server flag set to true (see http://pocoproject.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3494).
- PageCompiler: added a new page context directive, to allow passing custom context objects to the
  request handler.
- fixed StreamSocketImpl::sendBytes() for non-blocking sockets
- added Poco::Net::DialogSocket::receiveRawBytes(), which should be used instead of receiveBytes() due to internal
  buffering by DialogSocket.
- DOMParser: FEATURE_WHITESPACE has been renamed to FEATURE_FILTER_WHITESPACE (which now matches the underlying URI)
  and is now handled correctly (previously we did the exact reverse thing)
- added Poco::Util::AbstractConfiguration::remove() to remove a configuration property; added removeRaw() implementations
  to all implementations (contributions by Daniel Hobi and Alexey Shults).
- fixed NetSSL_OpenSSL compilation error on Windows with OpenSSL 1.0
- Added optional FIPS mode support to NetSSL_OpenSSL (contributed by Lior Okman).
  If OpenSSL has been configured and built with FIPS support, then FIPS support can
  be enabled by calling Poco::Crypto::OpenSSLInitializer::enableFIPSMode(true); or
  by setting the fips property in the OpenSSL configuration to true (see Poco::Net::SSLManager
  for details).
- fixed SF# 3031530: Ping and possible no timeout
- added Poco::Net::SocketReactor::onBusy(), called whenever at least one notification will
  be dispatched.
- fixed SF# 3034863: Compiler warning in net/IPAddress.h with poco 1.3.2
- added support for CRAM-SHA1 authentication to SMTPClientSession
- Poco::format(): arguments can now be addressed by their index, e.g. %[2]d
- Poco::Util::Timer::cancel() now accepts an optional boolean argument.
  If true is passed, cancel() waits until the task queue has been purged.
  Otherwise, it returns immediately and works asynchronously, as before.
- Poco::Net::HTTPServerResponse::redirect() now accepts an optional additional
  argument to specify the HTTP status code for the redirection.
- fixed a warning (BinaryReader.cpp) and error (ThreadLocal.cpp) in Foundation when compiling with Visual Studio 2010
- fixed a wrong exception in Poco::Net::POP3ClientSession
- Poco::Net::FTPClientSession and Poco::Net::SMTPClientSession now set the error code in exceptions they throw
- fixed a potential race condition with terminating a Windows service based on Poco::Util::ServerApplication
- fixed a bug in global build configuration file: explicitly setting POCO_CONFIG did not work on Solaris platforms,
  as it was always overridden by the automatically determined configuration.
- Added support for MinGW cross builds on Linux.
- Changed location of statically linked build products in the gmake-based build system.
  Statically linked executables are now in bin/$(OSNAME)/$(OSARCH)/static and no longer
  have the _s suffix
- The POCO_VERSION macro now is in its own header file, "Poco/Version.h". It is no longer
  available through "Poco/Foundation.h".
- added Poco::Net::HTTPCookie::escape() and Poco::Net::HTTPCookie::unescape().
- fixed SF# 3021173: Thread (POSIX) returns uninitialised value for OS priority
- fixed SF# 3040870: ThreadPool has no function to get assigned name
- fixed SF# 3044303: Can't use own config file on Solaris & OSARCH_64BITS ignored
- fixed SF# 2943896: AsyncChannel::log blocks
- fixed a bug in Poco::Util::WinRegistryKey::getInt():
  The size variable passed to RegQueryValueExW() should be initialized to the size
  of the output buffer.
- Added rudimentary support for compiling with Clang 2.0 (Xcode 4) on Mac OS X.
- New build configurations for Mac OS X: Darwin32 and Darwin64 for explicit
  32-bit and 64-bit builds. Note that the default Darwin build configuration
  will build 64-bit on Snow Leopard and 32-bit on Leopard, but will always place
  build products in Darwin/i386. The new Darwin32 and Darwin64 configurations
  will use the correct directories.
- fixed SF# 3051598: Bug in URL encoding
- Poco::ThreadPool::stopAll() (and thus also the destructor) will now wait for each
  pooled thread to terminate before returning. This fixes an issue with creating
  and orderly shutting down a thread pool in a plugin. Previously, a pooled thread
  in a thread pool created by a dynamically loaded library might still be running
  when the plugin's shared library was unloaded, resulting in Bad Things happening.
  This can now no longer happen. As a downside, a pooled thread that fails to
  finish will block stopAll() and the destructor forever.
- NetSSL_OpenSSL: for a SecureStreamSocket, available() now returns the number of bytes that
  are pending in the SSL buffer (SSL_pending()), not the actual socket buffer.
- Added Poco::Net::HTTPClientSession::secure() to check for a secure connection.
- Poco::Net::HTTPRequest::setHost() now does not include the port number in the Host header
  if it's either 80 or 443.
- log messages can now optionally include source file path and line number
- Poco::PatternFormatter can format source file path and line number (%U, %u)
- logging macros (poco_information(), etc.) now use __LINE__ and __FILE__
- new logging macros that incorporate Poco::format(): poco_information_f1(logger, format, arg) with up to 4 arguments
- added Poco::Net::HTTPSession::attachSessionData() and Poco::Net::HTTPSession::sessionData()
  to attach arbitrary data to a HTTP session.
- added additional constructors to zlib stream classes that allow passing
  a windowBits parameter to the underlying zlib library.
- fixed a potential error handling issue in Poco::Net::SecureSocketImpl.
- fixed SF# 3110272: RSACipherImpl bug.
- fixed SF# 3081677: ConfigurationView's getRaw not retrieving xml attributes.
- added basic support for Canonical XML and better pretty-printing support to Poco::XML::XMLWriter.
- Poco::Util::AbstractConfiguration now supports events fired when changing or
  removing properties.
- XML: added support for finding DOM nodes by XPath-like
  expressions. Only a very minimal subset of XPath is supported.
  See Poco::XML::Element::getNodeByPath(), Poco::XML::Element::getNodeByPathNS()
  and the same methods in Poco::XML::Document.
- Poco::Timer: If the callback takes longer to execute than the
  timer interval, the callback function will not be called until the next
  proper interval. The number of skipped invocations since the last
  invocation will be recorded and can be obtained by the callback
  by calling skipped().
- Poco::BinaryReader and Poco::BinaryWriter now support reading and
  writing std::vectors of the supported basic types. Also, strings
  can now be written in a different encoding (a Poco::TextEncoding
  can be optionally passed to the constructor).
- Poco::UUID::nil() and Poco::UUID::isNil() have been renamed to
  Poco::UUID::null() and Poco::UUID::isNull(), respectively, to avoid
  issues with Objective-C++ projects on Mac OS X and iOS where nil is
  a system-provided macro.
- Crypto bugfixes: RSACipherImpl now pads every block of data, not just the
  last (or last two).
- Improved Crypto testsuite by adding new tests
- Added new Visual Studio project configurations: debug_static_mt and release_static_mt
  (linking with static runtime libraries). The existing configurations debug_static
  and release_static have been renamed to debug_static_md and release_static_md, respectively.
  The suffixes of the static libraries have also changed. The static_md configurations
  now build libraries with suffixes md[d], while the libraries built by the static_mt
  configurations have mt[d] suffixes.
- Added Visual Studio project files for 64-bit builds.
- Added Visual Studio 2010 project files.
- Removed the use of local static objects in various methods due to
  their construction not being threadsafe (and thus leading to
  potential race conditions) on Windows/Visual C++.
- Fixed some warning on 64-bit Windows builds.
- The name of the Data connector libraries have changed. They are now
  named PocoDataMySQL, PocoDataODBC and PocoDataSQLite.
- fixed SF# 3125498: Linux NetworkInterface::list() doesn't return IPv6 IPs
- fixed SF# 3125457: IPv6 IPAddress tests are wrong
- Added initialization functions for the NetSSL_OpenSSL and Crypto libraries.
  These should be called instead of relying on automatic initialization,
  implemented with static initializer objects, as this won't work with
  statically linked executables (where the linker won't include the
  static initializer object).
  The functions are Poco::Crypto::initializeCrypto(), Poco::Crypto::uninitializeCrypto(),
  Poco::Net::initializeSSL() and Poco::Net::uninitializeSSL().
  Applications using Crypto and/or NetSSL should call these methods appropriately at
  program startup and shutdown.
  Note: In release 1.3.6, similar functions have been added to the Net library.


Release 1.3.6p2 (2010-01-15)

  bundled ones (-DPOCO_UNBUNDLED, configure --unbundled)
- fixed SF# 2911407: Add sh4 support
- fixed SF# 2912746: RSAKey::EXP_LARGE doesn't work
- fixed SF# 2904119: abstractstrategy uses std::set but do not includes it

- fixed SF# 2914986: potential expat DoS security issues (CVE-2009-3560 and CVE-2009-3720)
- fixed SF# 2916305: SSL Manager crashes
- fixed SF# 2903676: Tuple TypeHander does not handle composites.


Release 1.3.6 (2009-11-24)
==========================

- added Environment::processorCount()
- added POCO_VERSION macro to Poco/Foundation.h
- fixed SF# 2807527: Poco::Timer bug for long startInterval/periodic interval
- fixed a bug similar to SF# 2807527 in Poco::Util::Timer.
- fixed SF# 2795395: Constructor doesn't treat the params "key" and "iv"
- fixed SF# 2804457: DateTime::checkLimit looks wrong
- fixed SF# 2804546: DateTimeParser requires explicit RFC1123 format
- added ReleaseArrayPolicy to Poco::SharedPtr
- upgraded to SQLite 3.6.20
- fixed SF# 2782709: Missing semicolons in "Logger.h" convenience
- fixed SF# 2526407: DefaultStrategy.h ++it instead of it++ in a loop
- fixed SF# 2502235: Poco STLPort patch
- fixed SF# 2186643: Data::Statement::reset() not implemented in 1.3.3
- fixed SF# 2164227: Allow File opened read only by FileInputSteam to be writable
- fixed SF# 2791934: use of char_traits::copy in BufferedStreamBuf::underflow
- fixed SF# 2807750: Support additional SQL types in SQLite
- fixed documentation bugs in Timed/PriorityNotificationQueue
- fixed SF# 2828401: Deadlock in SocketReactor/NotificationCenter (also fixes patch# 1956490)
  NotificationCenter now uses a std::vector internally instead of a std::list, and the mutex is
  no longer held while notifications are sent to observers.
- fixed SF# 2835206: File_WIN32 not checking aganist INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE
- fixed SF# 2841812: Posix ThreadImpl::sleepImpl throws exceptions on EINTR
- fixed SF# 2839579: simple DoS for SSL TCPServer, HTTPS server
  No SSL handshake is performed during accept() - the handshake is delayed until
  sendBytes(), receiveBytes() or completeHandshake() is called for the first time.
  This also allows for better handshake and certificate validation when using
  nonblocking connections.
- fixed SF# 2836049: Possible handle leak in FileStream
  If sync() fails, close() now simply set's the stream's bad bit.
  In any case, close() closes the file handle/descriptor.
- fixed SF# 2814451: NetSSL: receiveBytes crashes if socket is closed
- added a workaround for Vista service network initialization issue
  (an Windows service using the Net library running under Vista will
  crash in the call to WSAStartup() done in NetworkInitializer).
  Workaround is to call WSAStartup() in the application's main().
  Automatic call to WSAStartup() in the Net library can now be disabled
  by compiling Net with -DPOCO_NET_NO_AUTOMATIC_WSASTARTUP. Also
  the new Poco::Net::initializeNetwork() and Poco::Net::uninitializeNetwork()
  functions can be used to call WSAStartup() and WSACleanup(), respectively,
  in a platform-independent way (on platforms other than Windows, these
  functions will simply do nothing).
- added VCexpress build script support (contributed by Jolyon Wright)
- fixed SF# 2851052: Poco::DirectoryIterator copy constructor is broken
- fixed SF# 2851197: IPAddress ctor throw keyword missing
- added Poco::ProtocolException
- PageCompiler improvements: new tags, support for buffered output, etc.
- better error reporting in Data MySQL connector (patch #2881270 by Jan "HanzZ" Kaluza)
- fixed SF# 1892462: FTPClient:Choose explicitely between EPSV and PASV
- fixed SF# 2806365: Option for PageCompiler to write output to different dir
- fixed a documentation bug (wrong sample code) in Process::launch() documentation
- added --header-output-dir option to PageCompiler
- fixed SF# 2849144: Zip::Decompress notifications error
- SAXParser has a new feature: "http://www.appinf.com/features/enable-partial-reads".
  See ParserEngine::setEnablePartialReads() for a description of what this does.
- fixed SF# 2876179: MySQL Signed/Unsigned value bug
- fixed SF# 2877970: possible bug in timer task
- fixed SF# 2874104: wrong parsing empty http headers
- fixed SF# 2860694: Incorrect return code from SecureStreamSocketImpl::sendBytes
- fixed SF# 2849750: Possible bug with XMLWriter?
- added MailMessage::encodeWord() to support RFC 2047 word encoded
  mail header fields when sending out mail containing non-ASCII
  characters.
- fixed SF# 2890975: SMTPClientSession bug with 7BIT encoding
- fixed an issue with retrieving the value of socket options on Windows 7.
  Before obtaining the value of a socket, we now initialize the variable receiving the
  socket option value to zero.
- fixed SF# 2836141: Documentation errors
- fixed SF# 2864232: Socket::select() does not detect closed sockets on windows
- fixed SF# 2812143: Socket::select() should check socket descriptors...
- fixed SF# 2801750: NetworkInterface <iface-Obj>forName returns wrong subnetMask
- fixed SF# 2816315: Problem with POSIX Thread::sleepImpl
- fixed SF# 2795646: IPv6 address parsing bug
- fixed #0000092: ServerApplication::waitForTerminationRequest(), SIGINT and GDB.
  Poco::Util::ServerApplication::waitForTerminationRequest() no longer registers a
  signal handler for SIGINT if the environment variable POCO_ENABLE_DEBUGGER
  is defined.
- fixed SF# 2896070: Poco::Net::Context with non-ASCII paths
- added Unicode Surrogate support to Poco::UTF16Encoding.
  See Poco::TextEncoding::queryConvert() and Poco::TextEncoding::sequenceLength()
  for how this is implemented. Contributed by Philippe Cuvillier.
- fixed SF# 2897650: [branch 1.3.6] Net.SocketAddress won't compile for CYGWIN
- fixed SF# 2896161: Building on Windows fails when basedir has space in it
- fixed SF# 2864380: Memory leak when using secure sockets
- NetSSL_OpenSSL: the SSL/TLS session cache is now disabled by default and
  can be enabled per Context using Poco::Net::Context::enableSessionCache().
- fixed SF# 2899039: Wrong DST handling in LocalDateTime
- added RWLock::ScopedReadLock and RWLock::ScopedWriteLock (contributed by Marc Chevrier)
- added Thread::TID type, as well as Thread::tid() and Thread::currentTid() to obtain the native
  thread handle/ID
- added Zip file comment support
- On Windows, Poco::SharedLibrary::load() now uses LoadLibraryEx instead of LoadLibrary
  and uses the LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATH if an absolute path is specified. This will
  add the directory containing the library to the search path for DLLs that the
  loaded library depends upon.
- Mac OS X build settings now match those used by default Xcode projects, making linking the
  POCO libs to Xcode projects easier
- Replaced use of std::valarray in Poco::Net::ICMPEventArgs with std::vector due to issues with
  std::valarray together with STDCXX debug mode on OS X


Release 1.3.5 (2009-05-11)
==========================

- fixed SF# 2779410: Poco::Data::ODBC::HandleException impovement
- fixed wrong exception text for Poco::UnhandledException
- Fixed a problem with SSL shutdown that causes clients (web browsers)
  to hang when the server attempts to perform a clean SSL shutdown. We now call
  SSL_shutdown() once, even if the shutdown is not complete after the first call.
- added Poco::Crypto::X509Certificate::save()
- fixed a bug in Poco::Zip::Decompress that results in wrong paths for extracted files
- fixed a bug in Poco::Zip::ZipManipulator where the Zip file was opened in text format
  on Windows.
- added Poco::Crypto::X509Certificate::issuedBy() to verify certificate chain.
- fixed 0000089: Thread::sleep() on Linux is extremely inaccurate
- added methods to extract the contents of specific fields from the
  subject and issuer distinguished names of a certificate.

- fixed SF# 2445467: Bug in Thread_WIN32.cpp
- Improved performance of HTTP Server by removing some
  string copy operations

- fixed appinf.com IP address in Net testsuite
- fixed RFC-00188: NumberFormatter and float/double numbers
- added --pidfile option to ServerApplication on Unix
- fixed SF# 2499504: Bug in Win32_Thread when using from dll (fixed also for POSIX threads)
- fixed SF# 2465794: HTTPServerRequestImpl memory leak
- fixed SF# 2583934: Zip: No Unix permissions set
- the NetSSL_OpenSSL library has been heavily refactored
- added NumberFormatter::append*() and DateTimeFormatter::append() functions
- use NumberFormatter::append() and DateTimeFormatter::append() instead of format() where
  it makes sense to gain some performance
- added system.dateTime and system.pid to Poco::Util::SystemConfiguration
- added %F format specifier (fractional seconds/microseconds) to DateTimeFormatter,
  DateTimeParser and PatternFormatter.
- fixed SF# 2630476: Thread_POSIX::setStackSize() failure with g++ 4.3
- fixed SF# 2679279: Handling of -- option broken
- added compile options to reduce memory footprint of statically linked applications
  by excluding various classes from automatically being linked.
  See the POCO_NO_* macros in Poco/Config.h.
- fixed SF# 2644940: on Windows the COMPUTER-NAME and the HOSTNAME can be different
- added DNS::hostName() function
- added build configuration for iPhone (using Apple's SDK)
- basic support for AIX 5.x/xlC 8
- fixed a bug resulting in a badly formatted exception message with IOException
  thrown due to a socket-related error
- fixed SF# 2644718: NetworkInterface name conflict in MinGW
- added a missing #include to CryptoTransform.h
- fixed SF# 2635377: HTTPServer::HTTPServer should take AutoPtr<HTTPServerParams>
- replaced plain pointers with smart pointers in some interfaces
- upgraded to sqlite 3.6.13
- improved Data::SQLite error reporting
- Poco::Glob now works with UTF-8 encoded strings and supports case-insensitive comparison.
  This also fixes SF# 1944831: Glob::glob on windows should be case insensitve
- added Twitter client sample to Net library
- Fixed SF# 2513643: Seg fault in Poco::UTF8::toLower on 64-bit Linux
- Poco::Data::SessionPool: the janitor can be disabled by specifying a zero idle time.
- added Poco::Data::SessionPool::customizeSession()
- added support for different SQLite transaction modes (DEFERRED, IMMEDIATE, EXCLUSIVE)
- fixed a few wrong #if POCO_HAVE_IPv6 in the Net library
- added support for creating an initialized, but unconnected StreamSocket.
- added File::isDevice()
- added family() member function to SocketAddress,
- Data::SQLite: added support for automatic retries if the database is locked
- XMLConfiguration is now writable
- fixed an IPv6 implementation for Windows bug in HostEntry
- Timer class improvement: interval between callback is no longer influenced by the
  time needed to execute the callback.
- added PriorityNotificationQueue and TimedNotificationQueue classes to Foundation.
  These are variants of the NotificationQueue class that support priority and
  timestamp-tagged notifications.
- added Poco::Util::Timer class. This implements a timer that can schedule different
  tasks at different times, using only one thread.
- the signatures of Poco::NotificationQueue and Poco::NotificationCenter member functions
  have been changed to accept a Poco::Notification::Ptr instead of Poco::Notification*
  to improve exception safety. This change should be transparent and fully backwards
  compatible. The signature of the methods returning a Poco::Notification* have not been
  changed for backwards compatibility. It is recommended, that any Notification* obtained
  should be immediately assigned to a Notification::Ptr.
- SQLite::SessionImpl::isTransaction() now uses sqlite3_get_autocommit() to find out
  about the transaction state.
- refactored Crypto library to make it independent from NetSSL_OpenSSL.
- added support for RSA-MD5 digital signatures to Crypto library.
- removed SSLInitializer from NetSSL library (now moved to Crypto library)
- added build configs for static libraries to Crypto library
- OpenSSL now depends on Crypto library (which makes more sense than
  vice versa, as it was before). Poco::Net::X509Certificate is now
  a subclass of Poco::Crypto::X509Certificate (adding the verify()
  member function) and the Poco::Net::SSLInitializer class was
  moved to Poco::Crypto::OpenSSLInitializer.
- added build configs for static libraries to Zip
- added batch mode to CppUnit::WinTestRunner.
  WinTestRunnerApp supports a batch mode, which runs the
  test using the standard text-based TestRunner from CppUnit.
  To enable batch mode, start the application with the "/b"
  or "/B" command line argument. Optionally, a path to a file
  where the test output will be written to may be given:
  "/b:<path>" or "/B:<path>".
  When run in batch mode, the exit code of the application
  will denote test success (0) or failure (1).
- testsuites now also work for static builds on Windows
- The IPv6 support for Windows now basically works (Net library compiled with POCO_HAVE_IPv6)
- fixed a potential error when shutting down openssl in a statically linked application
- added static build configs to Data library
- added Poco::AtomicCounter class, which uses OS-specific APIs for atomic (thread-safe)
  manipulation of counter values.
- Poco::RefCountedObject and Poco::SharedPtr now use Poco::AtomicCounter for
  reference counting
- fixed SF# 2765569: LoadConfiguration failing from current directory


Release 1.3.3p1 (2008-10-09)
============================

- Fixed a warning in MySQL connector
- Updated README
- The global Makefile in the Zip archive is no longer broken


Release 1.3.3 (2008-10-07)
==========================

- Threads now have optional user-settable stack size (if the OS supports that feature)

  See Poco::AbstractEvent documentation for new syntax.
- Cache supports new access expire strategy.
- Upgraded to SQLite 3.6.2
- Upgraded to PCRE 7.8
- added HttpOnly support to Poco::Net::HTTPCookie
- NetworkInterface now has displayName() member (useful only on Windows)
- Poco::Util::WinRegistryKey now has a read-only mode
- Poco::Util::WinRegistryKey::deleteKey() can now recursively delete registry keys
- Poco::File::created() now returns 0 if the creation date/time is not known, as
  it's the case on most Unix platforms (including Linux).
  On FreeBSD and Mac OS X, it returns the real creation time.
- Time interval based log file rotation (Poco::FileChannel) now works
  correctly. Since there's no reliable and portable way to find out the creation
  date of a file (Windows has the tunneling "feature", most Unixes don't provide
  the creation date), the creation/rotation date of the log file is written into
  the log file as the first line.
- added Environment::nodeId() for obtaining the Ethernet address of the system
  (this is now also used by UUIDGenerator - the corresponding code from UUIDGenerator
  was moved into Environment)
- added a release policy argument to SharedPtr template
- Socket::select() will no longer throw an InvalidArgumentException
  on Windows when called with no sockets at all. If all three socket
  sets are empty, Socket::select() will return 0 immediately.
- SocketReactor::run() now catches exceptions and reports them via
  the ErrorHandler.
- SocketReactor has a new IdleNotification, which will be posted when
  the SocketReactor has no sockets to handle.
- added referenceCount() method to Poco::SharedPtr.
- POCO now builds with GCC 4.3 (but there are some stupid warnings:
  "suggest parentheses around && within ||".
- Solution and project files for Visual Studio 2008 are included
- The Zip library is now officially part of the standard POCO release.
- The Crypto library (based on OpenSSL) has been added. The original code
  was kindly contributed by Ferdinand Beyer.
- A Data Connector to MySQL, contributed by Sergey Kholodilov, is now part
  of the POCO release.

  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

  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.

  automatically defined in POCO_WIN32_UTF8 is defined)
- PCRE: upgraded to PCRE version 7.1
- fixed SF# 1682162: Suggestion on thread priority

- robustness improvements to ActiveMethod - removed the opportunity for memory leaks in
  case something goes while invoking the method
- made C library usage more C++-like - use C++ headers (e.g. <cstring>) instead of
  C ones (<string.h>). Also, use C library functions in std namespace.
- added Unicode and UTF8String for improved Unicode support.
  The Unicode class can be used to obtain the Unicode properties of a character.
  The UTF8 class provides case insensitive comparison and case conversion
  for UTF-8 encoded strings.
- added UnWindows.h header file, replaced all #include <windows.h> with #include "Poco/UnWindows.h".
  See the Poco/UnWindows.h header file for a rationale and explanations.
- fixed SF# 1713820: StreamSocketImpl::sendBytes sends too many bytes
- File::copyTo(): on Windows, the copy now always has the read-only flag reset, to be consistent
  with other platforms.
- With Microsoft Visual C++, the necessary POCO libraries are now implicitly linked when
  the corresponding header files are included (#pragma comment(lib, "PocoXYZ.lib") is used).
  To disable this, compile POCO with the preprocessor symbol POCO_NO_AUTOMATIC_LIBS #define'd
  (see Poco/Foundation.h and Poco/Config.h).
- The Visual Studio project files for the POCO libraries now include configurations
  for building static libraries.

- 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)

Release 1.2.6 (2006-11-19)
==========================

- added additional match() method to RegularExpression and documented the fact that the simple
  match() method internally sets RE_ANCHORED and RE_NOTEMPTY.

  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.
  This fixes problems with certain network cameras sending malformed HTTP 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

  * 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.
