[log4perl-devel] Log::Log4perl 0.42 released

[Mike S. <msc...@ao...>]

Hi all,

just released 0.42 to log4perl.sf.net. Here's the changes:

0.42 (02/14/2004)
     * (kg) added filters to XML DOMConfig and DTD
     * (ms) Fixed caller level to cspecs by adding one
     * (ms) Added init_once() and documentation
     * (ms) Worked around the perl bug that triggers __DIE__ handlers
            even if die() occurs within an eval(). So if you did
              BEGIN { $SIG{__DIE__} = sub { print "ouch!"; die }; }
              use Log::Log4perl;
            and Time::HiRes wasn't available, the
              eval { require Time::HiRes }
            in PatternLayout.pm triggered the __DIE__ handler. Now there's
            a function module_available() in L4p::Util to check if a
            module is installed.
     * (ms) Fixed %M cspec in PatternLayout in case a logging
            method is called within one (or more) eval {} block(s).
            caller(n+m) will be called repeatedly if necessary
            to get the next real subroutine. Anonymous subroutines will
            still be called __ANON__, but this can be overridden by
            defining
                local *__ANON__ = "subroutine_name";
            in them explicitely (thanks, Perlmonks :).


If all goes well, it'll go to CPAN in a few days.
