On the spirit of non-stop releases, here is LogBox version 1.2. Apart from some bug fixes we have squeezed in some great new functionality, especially when dealing with configuring LogBox and portability. Check out our milestone tickets for further review. Version 1.2 Tickets

Added some new methods to the LogBoxConfig object: resetAppenders(), resetCategories and resetRoot() to reset some configurations.
Fixes on appender declarations and layouts
Addition of the LogBox DSL to coldbox configuration file, so now you can configure logbox via a cool DSL
Ability to configure LogBox via a simple CFC with a simple configure() method and our cool DSL

The major portion of this release is three words "Portabiity in Style". We wanted to add a new way to configure LogBox in ColdBox style, a cool data definition DSL. Of course, our documentation is updated and now online: http://wiki.coldbox.org/wiki/LogBox.cfm#LogBox_DSL. Here is a little tast of the DSL:


function configure(){
logBox = {
// Appenders
appenders = {
appenderName = {
class="class.to.appender",
layout="class.to.layout",
properties={
name = value,
prop2 = value 2
}
},
// Root Logger
root = {levelMin="FATAL", levelMax="DEBUG", appenders="*"},
// Granualr Categories
categories = {
"coldbox.system" = { levelMin="FATAL", levelMax="INFO", appenders="*"},
"model.security" = { levelMax="DEBUG", appenders="console,twitter"}
}
// Implicit categories
debug = ["coldbox.system.interceptors"],
info = ["model.class", "model2.class2"],
warn = ["model.class", "model2.class2"],
error = ["model.class", "model2.class2"],
fatal = ["model.class", "model2.class2"],
off = ["model.class", "model2.class2"]
};
}
