Log4swift changelog

1.2.0

Addeed an injectable timeProvider on loggers, to improve testability of code using Log4swift (Thanks Sergei)

1.1.0

Long due version !

• Removed warnings for swift 5
• Added rotation policy for log files, either based on date or file size
• fixed a crash when compiling on some versions of Xcode (objc_copyClassList), and some randomly failing tests

1.0.4

• Migrated to Swift 4 and xcode 9
• Appender.update(withDictionary:, availableFormatters:) made open, to allow configuration from file of custom appender (Thanks Yurii)
• Added 'p' maker for pattern formatter, that prints the ID of the current process in hexadecimal (Thanks Yurii)

1.0.3

• Fixed compilation problem with Carthage
• Added AppleUnifiedLoggerAppender
• Added SystemAppender, that uses the best system-provided appender for the host system.

1.0.2

• Added watchOS compatibility (Thanks Igor)
• Compiles with swift 3.1 (Thanks Guillem)

1.0.1

• Compiles with Xcode 8.1
• PerformLog method accessor changed to open to enable subclassing of Appenders

1.0

This is the first version to drop the "beta" flag. After using it in different projects for a while, with no problem, it seems safe to advertise it as non beta now.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a problem causing the FileAppender to erase log file on all new sessions (Thanks to josealobato for this fix)

Pattern formatter enhancements (thanks to Darkdah for those improvements)

• Added a new marker to the pattern formatter:
  • %D: the date of the log using NSDateFormatter format (defined by Unicode Technical Standard #35). This notably allows logging of miliseconds

1.0b5 (2016-03-22)

General changes

• Code base updated to remove use of features deprecated as of swift 2.2

Appenders enhancements

• TTY type for coloration can be forced if auto-detection does not work. This can be useful when debugging a module that will be loaded by another application (such as sytem extensions).

Pattern formatter enhancements (thanks to Darkdah for those improvements)

• Added two markers to the pattern formatter :
  • %f: displays the name of the file where the log was issued (%F displays the full path)
  • %M: the name of the method in which the log message was sent

Log configuration

• Added log levels (thanks to Darkdah for those)
• Off log level added. No messages can be logged with that level, it can only be used as a threshold level in the configuration, to mute a logger or an appender
• Trace level added bellow debug
• Added possibility to automatically reload configuration file when modified

1.0b4 (2015-11-03)

Loggers enhancements

• Loggers can log asynchronously. This new behavior is opt-in, using the configuration key Asynchronous in a configuration dictionary or the property asynchronous in code

Pattern formatter enhancements (thanks to RegalMedia for those improvements)

• Markers now receives json-formatted options (This can break your existing configuration)
• New padding option is added to all markers

Misc Enhancements

• When configuring loggers with a dictionary (or a file), appenders class name are no longer case sensitive.
• Errors are reported with description in Objective-C. The use of a custom error type was causing all helpful informations to be lost when catching them in the objective-c world (as of swift 2.1, this has been reported to Apple as rdar://23287003)
• Some convenience one-line configuration method are added to LoggerFactory (configureFor... methods). This is available in swift only, because of the use of default values for parameters.

1.0b3 (2015-10-01)

Misc Enhancements

• Origin file and line number markers added to the PatternFormatter. When logging from Objective-C, this requires the use of specific methods with file and line arguments.
• StdOutAppender can now colorize both the text and its background, for Xcode with the Xcodecolors (https://github.com/robbiehanson/XcodeColors) and XTerm-color. Colors can be set using configuration dictionary, and in swift code. It is not possible in objective-c code, due to the use of unsupported features (advanced enums).
• PatternFormatter now uses returns unmodified messages when initialized without a pattern.

1.0b2 (2015-08-15)

• First version
