chicken-and-egg problem with the resurrector.
+ (ms) Brian Wightman fixed Win32 log file cleanup in test suite
https://github.com/mschilli/log4perl/pull/39. New FAQ

with Catalyst in Log::Log4perl::Catalyst.
+ (ms) wrapper_register() now deals with caller_depth automatically.
Backwards compatibility with old wrapper classes using
caller_depth directly is provided. Documentation has been
updated.
+ (ms) Felix Antonius Wilhelm Ostmann reported Resurrector.pm
crashes, fixed as suggested by setting the %INC value to
the module path.
+ (ms) Another caller_depth fix in Log::Log4perl::Catalyst.
+ (ms) Fixed logdie() caller_depth bug reported by Rob Retter.
+ (ms) [RT 56145] Saving errstr in DBI appender to survive ping()
+ (ms) Added INTERNAL_DEBUG env variable to test suite triggering
all _INTERNAL_DEBUG statements to be printed for better
error diagnosis on misbehaving systems.
* New upstream release
* New upstream release
+ (ms) [RT 50495] Perl code in the config file is now evaluated/
compiled after the configuration parser has done its work,
opening up Perl subroutines to all configuration parsers, not
just PropertyConfigurator. Configuration subs for cspecs,
filter, warp_message and appender triggers are sheltered.
The previous, flawed implementation surfaced while using
a 'trigger' category, reported by Olivier Bilodeau.
+ (ms) [RT 50090] Added non-portable linebreaks to PatternLayout
(requested by Zdeněk Juran).
+ (ms) [RT 50094] Docfix for PatternLayout in main manpage (spotted
by Peter Rabbitson).

check.
+ (ms) Took out Class::Prototyped testcase after it got all weird
and introduced backward-incompatible changes.
* [bdfb9e8]: [topic--man-fix]: Fixed whatis info for man page
* New upstream release

log4perl configuration file.
+ (ms) Fixed uninitialized warning on XML configuration files,
reported by jbkilian on the sourceforge mailing list.

category within a Log4perl configuration file without error
or even a warning.
+ (ms) [RT 34401] Applied patch by Jae Gangemi, who fixed
code references in @INC on Win32 systems.
+ (ms) [RT 32259] Patternlayout now supports %R, which returns the

surfaced on VMS, reported by Ben Humphreys.
+ (ms) Fixed system-wide threshold to no longer lower appender
thresholds. Bug reported by Jean-Denis Muys.
+ (ms) Added benchmark to determine impact of eval-free handlers
+ (ms) Merged with eval_free branch. Now there are no more
eval("") statements left in the code, making it much easier
to debug. Performance on init() is about the same, performance
on init_and_watch() (noops and logged statements alike) is
25% slower but still in the range of 400,000/sec on my
1.80Ghz CPU.
* New upstream release
+ (ms) DBI-1.608 removed a DBD::File 'feature' that allowed leaving
out parameters in a bound execute(). This caused the test
suite to fail. Fixed the test cases to pass the correct
number of parameters every time.
+ (ms) Better error message in the DBI appender on bad SQL, missing
bind parameters, or other execute() errors.
+ (ms) Made DBI test suite more robust against preexisting conditions
+ (ms) Added force_next_check() for init_and_watch(), cleaned up
Config::Watcher code.
+ (ms) Fixed test suite to run on Strawberry Perl on Win32 (reported
by kmx on https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=45983)
+ (ms) Added 'utf8' option to screen appender and easy mode, some of
it suggested by Shantanu Bhadoria.
+ (ms) is_xxx() returned true prior to L4p initialization. Fixed it
and adapted test suite.
+ (ms) Added test cases on syswrite in recreate mode
+ (ms) Applied patch by Jens Berthold <log4perl@jebecs.de> to
avoid semaphore cleanup in spawned children.
+ (ms) Added %m{chomp} feature, 'message_chomp_before_newline' option,
and documentation on newlines and logging messages, all
suggested by Tim Bunce (see PatternLayout).

[rt.cpan.org #42428].
+ (ms) Fixed DBI appender error message, bug reported by DavidZ.
+ (ms) Fixed [rt.cpan.org #43740] reported by Martin Koehler. Now using
proper POSIX return code EEXISTS instead of error message
depending on English locale.
* Only run unit tests when DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS does not contain
nocheck. This brings us back in compliance with policy.
* [385f9af]: Merge branch 'upstream'. New upstream release
+ (ms) Using semctl to reset the value of the semaphore in the
Synchronized appender to prevent "Numerical result out of
range" problem caused by an unbalanced SEM_UNDO when
incrementing it. Reported by John Little.
+ (ms) Added parameters in curly braces to cspecs in PatternLayout.
+ (ms) As explained in http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=41505
the latest LWP release (5.822) got rid of all of its internal
debugging functions, making infiltrate_lwp() and its test
case useless. Disabling it for LWP>=5.822.

* New upstream release
* (ms) Applied patch by Peter Rabbitson, which fixes the caller()
level when calling get_logger() on a subclass of Log4perl.

it doesn't necessarily mean that a message gets logged if
they're returning true (requested by Conway Allen via
[rt.cpan.org #39085].
* (ms) Applied patch by Lee Johnson to appender_by_name() to allow
for undefined appender names without issuing a warning,
which was occurring with Catalyst::Log4perl.
* (ms) Added docs on numerical levels and level strings in
Log::Log4perl::Level.
* (ms) Applied patch by Anthony Foiani for support of literal
text in DateFormat format strings.
* New upstream release

thing (thanks to Rabbit).
* (ms) Fixed t/053Resurrect to work with 5.005_03
* (ms) Added preinit_callback function for init_and_watch()
* (ms) Applied patch by Andy Grundman which speeds up is_LEVEL()
calls by skipping unnecessary string concatenations
(http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=38537).
* (ms) Applied patch by Jae Gangemi addding a no_warning option to the
socket appender
(http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=34399).
* (ms) Fixed test suite to run on Strawberry Perl on Win32.
* (ms) Added 'l4p' as a valid prefix in configuration files (equal
to 'log4j' and 'log4perl' now).
* Updated Standards-Version: no changes.
* New upstream release
* (ms) Changed appender destruction during cleanup to show warning
messages thrown by destructors. Previously L4p ignored these
messages which caused failed DB flushes to go unnoticed with
the DB appender.
* (ms) Added explanation for Log4perl messages during global
destruction to FAQ.
* (ms) Corrected 'Trapper' listing in FAQ, thanks to Christian Reiber.
* (ms) Applied patch by Mitchell Perilstein for 5.005it and the

(http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=34051)
* (ms) Applied patch by Emmanuel Rodriguez (POTYL) doing away with
hard-coded line numbers in 024WarnDieCarp.t to make it work
cpan2rpm for building RPM packages
(http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=35370)
* (ms) Fixed recreate_check_interval = 0 bug reported by
Bill Moseley.
* (ms) Added 'header_text' parameter to the file appender to
have it write a header every time it opens (or re-opens)
a new log file (suggested by Steven Lembark).
* Record the fact that this package's Debian development has moved to a
git repository.
* Converted to teh new streamlined target system.

func=detail&aid=1791445&group_id=56939&atid=482388
* (ms) Added Log::Log4perl::Resurrector to resurrect commented-out
Log4perl statements in all subsequently loaded modules (allows
for deploying L4p-enabled CPAN modules without requiring L4p).

* (ms) Fixed logconfess() frame level bug reported by Ali Mesdaq.
Added test case.
* (ms) Added PatternLayout::Multiline code by Cory Bennett to
render multiline messages.
* (ms) Added log level TRACE (lets through even more messages
than DEBUG) (suggested by Craig).
* (ms) Added 'syswrite' flag to file appender to have it use
'syswrite' instead of 'print', avoiding buffered or
interleaving messages originating from different processes
(thanks to Evan Miller).
* New upstream release
* (ms) Applied test suite patch by Lars Thegler for
ancient perl 5.005_03.
* (ms) Applied patch by Jeremy Bopp to fix test suite running
under Cygwin.
* (ms) Fixed documentation bug in L4p:Appender::File,
s/recreate_signal/recreate_check_signal. Thanks to
Todd Chapman and Robert Jacobson for reporting this.

by Andreas Koenig who saw sporadic errors in the test suite,
thanks!
* (ms) Added $^S check to FAQ, as suggested by J. David Blackstone.
* (ms) Applied Robert Jacobson's patch for the "DDD" formatter
in L4p::DateFormats, which now formats the day-of-year values
numerically and precedes them with zeroes if necessary.

Ankur Gupta.
* (ms) Another Win32 test suite fix, no longer deleting an open
file but moving it aside (rt.cpan:23520).
* (kg) Nikita Dedik pointed out that Saturday is missing from
@Log::Log4perl::DateFormat::WEEK_DAYS

to be cleaned up during global destruction, which caused an
* (ms) Added recreate signal handler to L4p::Appender::File for
newsyslog support. Two new FAQ entries on dealing with
newsyslog and log files being removed by external apps.

ugly segfault with the Synchronized appender on FreeBSD.
* Bug fix: "liblog-log4perl-perl: new version (1.06)", thanks to Alec
Berryman (Closes: #378956).
* New upstream release
* (ms) If a conversion pattern was specified twice in a config
file, the output was "ARRAY(0x804da00)" (bug reported by
Bill Mason). Now, gobbling up property configurator values
into an array is limited to appender properties and
excludes the conversion pattern.
* (ms) Multiple calls to import (usually happens if 'use L4p' gets
called twice within the same namespace) caused nasty warnings,
bug reported by Greg Olszewski. Fixed by ignoring subsequent
calls from the same package to import().
* (ms) Changed rendering of logdie/warn/cluck/croak/... messages
to fix a bug reported by Martin J. Evans.
* (ms) Added a L4p::Appender::String appender to handle the
rendering internally.
* (ms) Documentation patch by Matisse Enzer on increased/
decreased log levels.
* (ms) Fixed stack trace level of logcarp()
* (ms) Carl Franks reported that the test suite failed on WinXP SP2
because of a hardcoded /tmp - fixed by File::Spec->tempdir().

DBI appender.
* (ms) Bugfix for rt.cpan.org #17886 (tmp files in test suite)
* New upstream release

4 test cases for these. Reported by Andy Ford and Matisse Enzer.
* (ms) The DBI appender now reconnects on stale DB connections.
* (ms) Fixed Win32 test bug as reported in
http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=17436 by barbie.
Instead of deleting a file still in use by an appender (which
Windows doesn't like), the file gets now truncated.
* liblog-log4perl-perl: missing dependency on libipc-shareable-perl
Appender/Synchronized.pm from the liblog-log4perl-perl package uses
IPC::Shareable which is contained in libipc-shareable-perl. Thanks to
radu@studentenwerk.mhn.de (Closes: #349486)
* New upstream release
+ (ms) Adapted t/006Config-Java.t to cope with Win32 path separators
+ (ms) Corrected typo in Chainsaw FAQ, reported by Bernd Dirksen.
+ (ms) Brian Edwards noticed that (Screen, File) were missing a
base class declaration, causing $logger->add_appender() to
fail. Fixed with test case.
+ (ms) Log::Log4perl::Appender::File now handles the case where the
logfile suddenly disappears.
+ (ms) Fixed section indentation in main man page
+ (ms) Converted Ceki's last name to UTF-8 (a historic step!)
* New upstream release. Excerpted changes:
* (ms) Added 'utf8' and 'binmode' flags to Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
per suggestion by Jonathan Warden.
* (ms) Made test cases 003Layout.t and 033UsrCspec.t resilient against
broken ActiveState 5.8.4 and 5.8.7.
* (ms) Skipped failing test cases for 5.005, looks like the caller() level
in carp() is wrong, but not worth fixing.
* (ms) Fixed the bug with the caller level of the first
log message sent after init_and_watch() detected a change. Added
test case to 027Watch2.t.
* (ms) Added FAQ on UTF-8.
* (ms) Applied patch by David Britton, improving performance during
the init() call.
* (ms) Fixed bug https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=14776
to prevent it from modifying $_. Thanks to Steffen Winkler.
* New upstream release. Excerpted changes:
* (ms) Added tag qw(:no_extra_logdie_message) to suppress duplicate
die() messages in scripts using simple configurations and LOGDIE().
Added logexit() as an alternative way.
* (ms) Fixed bug with logcarp/croak/cluck, which were using the
wrong Carp level.
* (kg) Fixing bug in Appender::Limit regarding $_ scope
* (ms) corrected typo in Synchronized.pm found by Rob Redmon.
* (ms) Fixed bug with Appender::File reported by Michael Smith. Checking
now if print() succeeds, catching errors with full disks and
ulimit'ed environments.
* (ms) Added LOGCARP(), LOGCLUCK(), LOGCONFESS(), LOGCROAK() macros
in :easy mode (suggested by Jud Dagnall).
* (ms) $INITIALIZED now gets reset during logger cleanup.
* New upstream release. Excerpted changes:
* (ms) Jonathan Manning <jmanning@alisa-jon.net> provided a patch
for DateFormat.pm to fix 3-letter month abbreviations and a
shortcut to simulate Apache's log format.
* (kg) Ola Finsbraaten provided a patch to provide a better error
message when a logger is defined twice in a config.
* New upstream release. Excerpted changes:
* (ms) Jon Bjornstad noticed that the file appender wasn't including
$! in the die() exception thrown if open_file() fails. Added it.
* (ms) Added umask option to file appender
* (ms) Fix to L4p::Util::module::available() for Win32
compliance by Roger Yager <roger.yager@eyestreet.com>
* (ms) Added check to L4p::Util::module_available() returning true
if the pm file is available in %INC, indicating that it has
already been loaded. This fixes a problem when running L4p
in a PAR binary.
* (ms) Added remove_appender() and eradicate_appender() method to
Logger.pm, test cases and documentation on the main Log4perl
page.
* (ms) Added a generic buffered composite appender, L4p::Appender::Buffer,
buffering messages until a trigger condition is met.
* New upstream release. Excerpted changes:
* (ms) Added ':resurrect' source filter, which uncomments all lines
starting with "###l4p". Can be used for hidden L4p statements,
which are then activated by calling
'use Log::Log4perl qw(:resurrect)'.
* (ms) Fixed Win32 test suite bug: File::Spec->catfile() returns '/'
as a path separator on both Unix and Win32, while Log4perl's
layouts (derived from caller() info) use '\' on Win32 and '/'
on Unix. Changed tests to only verify file name, not path.
* (ms) Added 'appender_by_name()' to retrieve an appender defined
in the configuration file by name later.
* (ms) Added FAQ on "stubbing out" L4p macros in environments
that don't have L4p installed.
* (ms) Added convenience function appender_thresholds_adjust() to adjust
thresholds of chosen (or all) appenders
* (ms) Got rid of Test::Simple dependency
* (ms) Moved autoflush setting in L4p::Appender::File from log()
to file_open(), running only once, not with every message.
* (ms) Applied doc fixes suggested by Jon Bjornstad.
* (ms) Added ScreenANSIColor appender to colorize messages based on
their priority. See Log::Log4perl::Appender::ScreenANSIColor.
* New upstream release. Excerpted changes:
* (ms) init_and_watch() no longer die()s on reloading syntactically
wrong configuration files but issues a warning and then
reloads the last working config.
* (ms) init() now also accepts an open file handle (passed in as a
glob) to a configuration file or a ref to an IO::File object.
* (ms) Jos I. Boumans <kane@xs4all.net> and
Chris Winters <chris@cwinters.com> reported an error thrown
by L4p in their app SPOPS: During global construction. Looks
like the Logger object's internal hash is cleared and then
the is_<level> method gets called, resulting in a runtime
exception. Added proposed remedy checking if the called
method is defined by ref.
* (ms) Added check to init_and_watch if obtaining the mod
timestamp failed.
* New upstream release. Excerpted changes:
* (ms) fixed bug reported by Chip Salzenberg <chip@pobox.com>: logdie()
and logwarn() are now compliant with the warn() and die()
standard which suppresses the "at file line x" message if
the message ends with a "\n".
* (ms) New interface for custom config parsers.
Log::Log4perl::Config::BaseConfigurator now provides a base class
for new config parsers. Init can now be called like
Log::Log4perl->init($parser) with a parser object, which is
derived from Log::Log4perl::Config::BaseConfigurator and
provides a parse() method (no arguments). The file (or whatever)
to be parsed can be set by calling $parser->text(\@lines) or
$parser->file($name) before calling L4p->init($parser).
The Property, DOM and LDAP configurators have been
adapted, check their implementation for details.
* (ms) Added integrity check for Log4perl configurations: Log4perl
now issues a warning if a configuration doesn't define any
appenders. Should anyone not like this, it can be turned
off by setting $L4p::Config::CONFIG_INTEGRITY_CHECK = 0
before calling init().
* (ms) Fixed bug reported by Johannes Kilian <jok@vitronic.com>
with __DIE__ handler and "PatternLayout" shortcut. Replaced
'eval { require ... }' by L4p::Util::module_available in
L4p::Config.pm.
* (ms) Did away with $IS_LOADED internal variable.
* (ms) Fixed bug with L4p::INITIALIZED vs. L4P::Logger::INITIALIZED,
added t/020Easy2.t.
* (ms) Added adm/cvskwexp script to check if we're running into CVS
trouble because of <dollar>Log keyword expansion.
* New upstream release. Excerpted changes:
* (ms) Added suggestion by Hutton Davidson <Davidson.Hutton@ftid.com>
to make the socket appender more forgiving. New option
"silent_recovery" will silently ignore errors and recover
if possible on initiallly dead socket connections.
* (ms) Fixed bug with initialized() -- checking once caused
subsequent calls to return true.
* (ms) run t/045Composite.t only if Storable is installed -- earlier
perl versions (like 5.6.1) don't have it by default.
* (ms) fixed test case in t/020Easy.t for buggy perl 5.6.1
* (ms) added Log::Log4perl::infiltrate_lwp() to make LWP::UserAgent
play in the L4p framework upon request.
* (ms) perl 5.00503 mysteriously core dumps in t/017Watch.t, seems like
this was introduced in 0.46. Disabled these tests for now
if we're on 5.00503 to avoid installation hickups. Longer term,
need to investigate.
* New upstream release. Please look at the Changes file for
details. This is a maintenance (bug fixing) upgrade.
* Bug fix: "liblog-log4perl-perl: Missing Suggests for
liblog-dispatch-perl", thanks to Loic Minier (Closes: #244653).
* New upstream release. Excerpted changes:
* (ms) Applied patch by Markus Peter <warp@spin.de> for 'pipe'
mode in Log::Log4perl::Appender::File
* (ms) Added composite appender Log::Log4perl::Appender::Limit to
limit message delivery to adjustable time windows.
* (ms) Fixed last 033UsrCspec.t test case to run on Win32 as well
(path fixed).
* (ms) Lars Thegler <lars@thegler.dk> provided a patch to keep
compatibility with 5.005_03.
* New upstream version. Excerpted changes:
* (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 { $SIG{__DIE__} = sub { print "ouch!"; die }; }
use Log::Log4perl;
and Time::HiRes wasn't available, the
eval { require Time::HiRes }
in PatternLayout.pm triggered the __DIE__ handler. Now there's
a function module_available() in L4p::Util to check if a
module is installed.
* (ms) Fixed %M cspec in PatternLayout in case a logging
method is called within one (or more) eval {} block(s).
caller(n+m) will be called repeatedly if necessary
to get the next real subroutine. Anonymous subroutines will
still be called __ANON__, but this can be overridden by
defining
local *__ANON__ = "subroutine_name";
in them explicitely (thanks, Perlmonks :).
* New upstream release. Excerpted changes:
* (ms) Applied documentation update for Synchronized appender, suggested
by David Viner <dviner@yahoo-inc.com>
* (ms) Added option to Log::Log4perl::Layout::PatternLayout to
enable people to provide their own timer functions.
* New upstream release. This contains a number of bug fixes. Excerpted
changes:
* (ms) Added file_open(), file_close() and file_switch() to
l4p::Appender::File
* (ms) Added logic for 'composite appenders'. Appenders can now be
configured to relay messages to other appenders. Added
Log::Log4perl::Appender::Synchronized, an appender guaranteeing
atomic logging of messages via semaphores.
* (ms) Added basic substitution to PropertyConfigurator. Now you can
define variables (like in "name=value") and subsequent patterns
of "${name}" will be replaced by "value" in the configuration file.
* (kg) Followed Mike's lead and added variable substitution to the
DOMConfigurator.
* (ms) Added Log::Log4perl::Appender::Socket as a simple Socket
appender featuring connection recovery.
* (ms) added %T to PatternLayout as a stack traced as suggested by
Brett Rann <brettrann@mail.com>.
* (ms) Added signal handling to init_and_watch
* (ms) renamed l4p-internal DEBUG constant to avoid confusion with
DEBUG() and $DEBUG as suggested by Jim Cromie <jcromie@divsol.com>.
* Initial Install
