POCO-1.3.6: changelog

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

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# 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 SF# 2153031: 1.3.3 Crypto won't compile on 64-bit Linux
- 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)
- Events now support simplified delegate syntax based on delegate function template.
  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.

- 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

  automatically defined in POCO_WIN32_UTF8 is defined)
- PCRE: upgraded to PCRE version 7.1
- fixed SF# 1682162: Suggestion on thread priority
- fixed SF# 1613460: MSVC/STLPort warnings
- fixed SF# 1709358: Format double percent std::String bug
- added WindowsConsoleChannel class to Foundation
- added AutoPtr::unsafeCast<>() and SharedPtr::unsafeCast<>()
- fixed SF# 1708552: Failed to build on arm and powerpc
- fixed SF$ 1708529: Failed to build using GCC 4.3: missing #includes
- fixed SF# 1710053: LogStream proposal
- fixed a bug involving empty root directories in Windows DirectoryIterator implementation
  (see http://www.appinf.com/poco/wiki/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=343&forumId=6)
- 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 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

  (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)

- 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

  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

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

- 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

- 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.
