What's new in Pantheios 1.0.1 Beta 212
Aug 14, 2011
- Various minor fixes and documentation improvements.
New in Pantheios 1.0.1 Beta 210 (Jan 10, 2011)
- added compile-time validation to prevent fundamental types being passed to log statements
- added GCC 4.5 support
New in Pantheios 1.0.1 Beta 209 (Jan 6, 2011)
- A non-empty string - "unrecognised status code" - is now returned if the status code is unrecognised.
- A compilation error with wide strings in example.cpp.util.strdup was corrected.
- test.unit.fe.WindowsRegistry now succeeds by skipping manipulation of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE when run by a user with limited permissions.
New in Pantheios 1.0.1 Beta 207 (Dec 27, 2010)
- 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 (5.6+), Comeau (4.3.3+), Digital Mars (8.45+), GCC (3.4+), Intel (7+), Metrowerks (8+), Microsoft Visual C++ (6.0+), and should work with any reasonably modern C++ compiler.
