c++.stlsoft - Pantheios 1.0.1 (beta 161) released: breaking changes!

Pantheios is an Open Source C/C++ Logging API library, offering an optimal
combination of 100% type-safety, efficiency, genericity 
and extensibility. It is simple to use and extend, highly-portable (platform
and compiler-independent) and, best of all, it upholds 
the C tradition of you only pay for what you use. 
 
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 (5.5.1+), Comeau (4.3.3+), Digital 
Mars (8.45+), GCC (3.2+), Intel (6+), Metrowerks (8+), Microsoft Visual C++
(5.0+), and should work with any reasonably modern C++ 
compiler. 
 
Pantheios is completely free and includes source released under a BSD-style
license. Commercial customisations (of front-/back-ends 
are provided by Synesis Software Pty Ltd; http://synesis.com.au/contact.html) 
 
Release 1.0.1 beta 161 incorporates: 
 * sharpened up error messages when attempting to use previously removed
features of fe.simple
 * changed requirements of application-defined components in be.WindowsEventLog
to a single new function
 * NOTE: These are breaking changes: any programs that use be.WindowsEventLog
must be modified, recompiled and relinked


Note: this release of Pantheios requires STLSoft 1.9.54, or later. Download
