JIRA change log

This release introduces various new features and improvements

New features:

• Ability to override the default renderer.
• New appender: FirePHP (thanks to Bruce Ingalls). Still in experimental phase.

Improvements:

• LoggerLayoutPatern has been greatly improved:
  • supports longer conversion words such as %date instead of %d, %message instead of %m, etc.
  • added many new conversion words; check out the docs for the full list
  • changed the default conversion pattern to be more verbose
• LoggerAppenderPDO will attempt to reconnect a couple of times if logging fails. This solves the problem with the connection expiring in long running scripts.
• LoggerAppenderDailyFile will rollover even in long running scripts.
• LoggerAppenderMongoDB has improved error reporting

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a bug where upstream loggers would log events regardless of their level.
• Re-enabled usage of PHP constants in config parameters.

Breaking changes:

• LoggerLayoutTTCC has been made deprecated. Please switch to LoggerLayoutPatern.
• Several changes to LoggerAppenderPDO:
  • a database table for logging will no longer be created by the appender; the user must create this table manually.
  • the default date pattern does not include milliseconds (this is faster)
• In LoggerLayoutPattern, it is no longer possible to access $_SERVER and $_ENV values using %X{server.*} and %X{env.*} conversion words; use the new words %server{*} and %env{*} instead.
• Custom renderer classes should implement the LoggerRenderer interface instead of LoggerRendererObject.

Please review the documentation and make any necessary changes to your configuration.

Release date: 18.02.2012.

New features:

• A new layout: serialized

Improvements:

• Full rewrite of the configuration logic. Makes inline PHP configuration possible.

• The XML layout has been extended to include MDC data.
• Improved documentation to include more XML and PHP configuration examples.
• New web site appearance (powered by the Bootstrap toolkit).

Breaking changes:
