Clogger is Rack middleware for logging HTTP requests. The log format  
is customizable so you can specify exactly which fields to log.

Changes:

“clogger\_ext” is no longer a separate gem, but merged into the  
“clogger” gem itself. The installation should automatically  
detect compatible versions of Ruby and only build the C  
extension for MRI 1.8/1.9.

Rack::Utils::HeaderHash is now used for $sent\_http\_\* variable  
lookups instead of a hand-rolled solution. HeaderHash objects  
should be reusable in Rack soon to avoid the penalty of  
recreating them repeatedly in middlewares and hopefully  
more-widely used as a result.

Underlying logger objects are sync=true for safety reasons.  
This has always been the case for the C extension version  
when writing to regular files.

Other small changes include more CGI variables and the :ORS  
(output record separator) option added (default: “\n”).
