Changes from 0.51:
1.01 (09/29/2005)
* (ms) Added 'utf8' and 'binmode' flags to Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
per suggestion by Jonathan Warden.
* (ms) Made test cases 003Layout.t and 033UsrCspec.t resilient against
broken ActiveState 5.8.4 and 5.8.7.
* (ms) Skipped failing test cases for 5.005, looks like the caller() level
in carp() is wrong, but not worth fixing.
* (ms) Fixed the bug with the caller level of the first
log message sent after init_and_watch() detected a change. Added
test case to 027Watch2.t.
* (ms) Added FAQ on UTF-8.
* (ms) Applied patch by David Britton, improving performance during
the init() call.
* (ms) Fixed bug https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=14776
to prevent it from modifying $_. Thanks to Steffen Winkler.
1.00 (08/13/2005)
* (ms) Added tag qw(:no_extra_logdie_message) to suppress duplicate
die() messages in scripts using simple configurations and LOGDIE().
Added logexit() as an alternative way.
* (ms) Fixed bug with logcarp/croak/cluck, which were using the
wrong Carp level.
* (kg) Fixing bug in Appender::Limit regarding $_ scope
* (ms) corrected typo in Synchronized.pm found by Rob Redmon.
* (ms) Fixed bug with Appender::File reported by Michael Smith. Checking
now if print() succeeds, catching errors with full disks and
ulimit'ed environments.
* (ms) Added LOGCARP(), LOGCLUCK(), LOGCONFESS(), LOGCROAK() macros
in :easy mode (suggested by Jud Dagnall).
* (ms) $INITIALIZED now gets reset during logger cleanup.
0.52 (05/08/2005)
* (ms) Jonathan Manning <jmanning@alisa-jon.net> provided a patch
for DateFormat.pm to fix 3-letter month abbreviations and a
shortcut to simulate Apache's log format.
* (kg) Ola Finsbraaten provided a patch to provide a better error
message when a logger is defined twice in a config.
Changes from 0.48:
0.51 (01/08/2005)
* (ms) Jon Bjornstad noticed that the file appender wasn't including
$! in the die() exception thrown if open_file() fails. Added it.
* (ms) Added umask option to file appender
* (ms) Fix to L4p::Util::module::available() for Win32
compliance by Roger Yager <roger.yager@eyestreet.com>
* (ms) Added check to L4p::Util::module_available() returning true
if the pm file is available in %INC, indicating that it has
already been loaded. This fixes a problem when running L4p
in a PAR binary.
* (ms) Added remove_appender() and eradicate_appender() method to
Logger.pm, test cases and documentation on the main Log4perl
page.
* (ms) Added a generic buffered composite appender, L4p::Appender::Buffer,
buffering messages until a trigger condition is met.
0.50 (12/08/2004)
* (ms) Added ':resurrect' source filter, which uncomments all lines
starting with "###l4p". Can be used for hidden L4p statements,
which are then activated by calling
'use Log::Log4perl qw(:resurrect)'.
* (ms) Fixed Win32 test suite bug: File::Spec->catfile() returns '/'
as a path separator on both Unix and Win32, while Log4perl's
layouts (derived from caller() info) use '\' on Win32 and '/'
on Unix. Changed tests to only verify file name, not path.
* (ms) Added 'appender_by_name()' to retrieve an appender defined
in the configuration file by name later.
* (ms) Added FAQ on "stubbing out" L4p macros in environments
that don't have L4p installed.
* (ms) Added convenience function appender_thresholds_adjust() to adjust
thresholds of chosen (or all) appenders
* (ms) Got rid of Test::Simple dependency
* (ms) Moved autoflush setting in L4p::Appender::File from log()
to file_open(), running only once, not with every message.
* (ms) Applied doc fixes suggested by Jon Bjornstad.
* (ms) Added ScreenANSIColor appender to colorize messages based on
their priority. See Log::Log4perl::Appender::ScreenANSIColor.
0.49 (11/07/2004)
* (ms) init_and_watch() no longer die()s on reloading syntactically
wrong configuration files but issues a warning and then
reloads the last working config.
* (ms) init() now also accepts an open file handle (passed in as a
glob) to a configuration file or a ref to an IO::File object.
* (ms) Jos I. Boumans <kane@xs4all.net> and
Chris Winters <chris@cwinters.com> reported an error thrown
by L4p in their app SPOPS: During global construction. Looks
like the Logger object's internal hash is cleared and then
the is_<level> method gets called, resulting in a runtime
exception. Added proposed remedy checking if the called
method is defined by ref.
* (ms) Added check to init_and_watch if obtaining the mod
timestamp failed.
