Re: [log4perl-devel] Log::Log4perl 0.28 out there!

[Kevin G. <ke...@go...>]

Aaargh.  I was *sure* I had checked this, I even got out of bed late 
last night to be sure, but apparently I checked in the wrong place. 
There's a line of debugging output in an obscure place in 
PropertyConfigurator.pm, and there's a bunch of debugging crap in 
DOMConfigurator.  Aaaargh.

It also turns out Data::Dumper isn't reliable the way I'm using it for 
the XML-DOM tests.

I only noticed all this after I'd checked in a bunch of newer stuff this 
morning, so I branched CVS as "rel-0-28" and fixed it.  Attached is the 
diff if you want to see the changes.  I think we should do another 
release based on that branch (do cvs update -r rel-0-28 to change your 
working copy to the branch).

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.
