[erlang-questions] [ANN] Lager 2.0.0RC2

[Andrew Thompson]

So, I announced lager 2.0.0rc1 during my Erlang factory talk
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BNpOHFvg_Q ), but forgot to announce
it to the relevant mailing lists. So I'm announcing RC2 here.

What is lager?

Lager (as in the beer) is a logging framework for Erlang. Its purpose is
to provide a more traditional way to perform logging in an erlang
application that plays nicely with traditional UNIX logging tools like
logrotate and syslog.

Changes since lager 1.2.2:

* Metadata is passed to lager backends (breaks compatability with old
* backends)
* Switch from Mochiglobal to ETS for global 'config' storage
* Add 'application' to default trace metadata, captured at compile time
* Support for 'pretty printing' Cowboy (0.8+) and WebMachine errors
* Record pretty printing with lager:pr/2
* Colored console support (requires R16, thanks DeadZen)
* Overload protection from error_logger storms
* Many performance improvements (often more than 2x as fast)
* Many minor bug fixes

Changes since lager 2.0.0rc1

* Support for logging unicode to files
* New tracing engine, based on goldrush (thanks DeadZen)
* Updated documentation for 2.0

Please give it a try, and let me know if you have any problems. Lager
2.0.0 final will ship with Riak 1.4.

Congratulations!

Glad to see this being made useful. The initial goldrush work was made
by someone that I'm sure we all miss.
