Patches for Log4r

  • root loggers are no longer null loggers – you can add outputters to them

  • the global logger is used to set a global log level (root is no longer used for this)

  • yaml configurator has been updated to handle new root logger semantics

  • yaml configurator has been updated to accept a set of files AND sections (default section: log4r_config)

What this really means is that you can set up one outputter in the root logger to manage the default logging behavior.
