[ANN] Logging 0.6.3 (Feral Dust Bunny)

== Logging

     by Tim Pease
     http://logging.rubyforge.org/
     the "Feral Dust Bunny" release

== Description

Logging is a flexible logging library for use in Ruby programs based on the
design of Java's log4j library. It features a hierarchical logging system,
custom level names, multiple output destinations per log event, custom
formatting, and more.

== Changes

1 minor enhancement
   - YAML configuration now supports multiple keys -- i.e. development
     or production or whatever

2 bug fixes
   - An extra e-mail was being pushed out when the e-mail
     appender was closed
   - Created an at_exit handler to close all appenders

== Install

sudo gem install logging

== Fun Fact

Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning.

== Post Script

Blessings,
TwP

* Logging is being maintained and currently under development.
* 95% test coverage
* Rolling log file works properly with multiple processes logging to the same file
* A Growl appender for those on the Mac platform
* Provides a logger that works just like the Ruby logger (Logging.logger)
* Logging is a wee bit faster than Log4r
* Logging supports the concatenation operator (if you just want unformatted messages in your log files)
