Changes for version 1.16 - 2008-05-15

  • (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 two-argument binmode() that 5.005 doesn't support. (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).
