[log4perl-devel] Log4perl 1.27 Released

[Mike S. <m...@pe...>]

Hi Log4perl enthusiasts,

Log::Log4perl 1.27 has just been released to CPAN. The following changes
went into this release:

1.27 (2010/02/07)
    *    (ms) ***WARNING: This might break backward compatibility
                          with some wrapper classes.
              [RT 52913] Fixed category fetching in
              wrapper classes (reported by Martin Evans). Wrapper classes
              now need to call Log::Log4perl->wrapper_register to adapt
              get_logger() category fetching. Detailed docs under
              "Using Log::Log4perl with wrapper functions and classes"
    *    (ms) Made meta tag compatible with MakeMaker versions < 6.50
         (ms) [RT 52083] Fixed manifest glitch from 1.26 (reported by
              Lars Thegler).
    *    (ms) Added note to FAQ on 'no init happened' warnings for API
              initializations, as suggested by Malcolm Nooning.
    *    (ms) Applied patch by Christopher Mckay which sets
              Log4perl::Logger::INITIALIZED only if it's fully initialized.
    *    (ms) Emmanuel Rodriguez suggested changing TestBuffer's reset()
              method to leave the logger population alone. Added clear()
              to accomodate the need for a single buffer reset.
    *    (ms) Xavier Caron added %p{1} to allow abbreviated priority
              strings in the pattern layout.
    *    (ms) Redid composite appenders to address problems with incorrect
              caller() data. L4p now supports a $cache parameter to be
              passed to the log() function, which stores the completely
              rendered message and can be passed to log_cached() later on.

Enjoy!
