== Logging ``` by Tim P. http://logging.rubyforge.org/ the "Feral Dust Bunny" release ``` == Description Logging is a flexible logging library for use in Ruby programs based on the design of Java’s log4j library. It features a hierarchical logging system, custom level names, multiple output destinations per log event, custom formatting, and more. == Changes 1 minor enhancement - YAML configuration now supports multiple keys – i.e. development or production or whatever 2 bug fixes - An extra e-mail was being pushed out when the e-mail appender was closed - Created an at\_exit handler to close all appenders == Install sudo gem install logging == Fun Fact Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning. == Post Script Blessings, TwP ---
