• IMPORTANT: Implementation language is now C++11. OS specific
  implementations have been replaced by C++11 facilities wherever
  possible. This lowers complexity of the library and improves
  maintainability but it also brings limitations to when the library can be
  used. Specifically, the library should not be used before main() is
  entered and after main() is left. Even more specifically, the library
  should not be used during global objects construction and destruction.... read more

• Avoid copying whole message just to prepend message length in
  SocketAppender. Instead, use OS specific "gather" socket write.

  Binary or Text (default) to specify underlying IO stream behavior
  with respect to end-of-line handling. (Patch by raphaelmarcucci).... read more
