[Pantheios-announce] Pantheios 1.0.1 (beta 148) released: breaking changes!

[Matthew W. <ma...@sy...>]

Pantheios is an Open Source C/C++ Logging API library, offering an optimal
combination of 100% type-safety, efficiency, genericity and extensibility.
It is simple to use and extend, highly-portable (platform and
compiler-independent) and, best of all, it upholds the C tradition of you
only pay for what you use.

Pantheios supports logging of message statements of arbitrary complexity,
consisting of heterogeneous types.

Pantheios supports filtering of log messages based on severity level
including (but not limited to) the eight levels defined by the SysLog
protocol.

Pantheios supports back-end output, individually and in combination, to
stderr/stdout, SysLog (including a custom implementation of the SysLog
protocol for Windows), Windows debugger, Windows event log, COM Error
Object, Speech, or any custom back-end extension you care to write.
Importantly, Pantheios is readily extended to use the existing transport
mechanisms of feature-rich logging libraries such as ACE, log4cpp,
log4cplus, log4cxx.

Pantheios does not contain any compiler-specific or platform-specific
constructs. It supports UNIX (including Linux and Mac OS-X), and Windows,
and should work with any operating system. It is known to be compatible with
Borland (5.5.1+), Comeau (4.3.3+), Digital Mars (8.45+), GCC (3.2+), Intel
(6+), Metrowerks (8+), Microsoft Visual C++ (5.0+), and should work with any
reasonably modern C++ compiler.

Pantheios is completely free and includes source released under a BSD-style
license. Commercial customisations (of front-/back-ends are provided by
Synesis Software Pty Ltd; http://synesis.com.au/contact.html)

Release 1.0.1 beta 148 incorporates:
 * a large number of small changes to the names and/or namespaces of
   utility functions and classes that do not form part of the set
   commonly used by authors of client code, in order to simplify the
   apparent APIs of the Core and Application Layer
 * bundles xTests 0.8.4
