Package: liblog-dispatch-perl
Severity: wishlist

While packaging Plack (libplack-perl), the tests optionally used
Log::Dispatch::Array if available. The test explicitly depends on
version 2.25 or better of this module (current upstream is 2.26).

Here is the changelog between the existing version in the archive
2.22 and 2.26:

2.26 Sep 22, 2009

- Doc updates. The 2.23 constructor API was still shown in all the output
  subclasses. Fixed by Jon Swartz.


2.25 Sep 15, 2009

- Added a workaround for a weird tainting issue with Params::Validate. This
  caused a taint exception when a Log::Dispatch::Syslog was created under
  taint mode. Note that there is still a problem in Params::Validate itself,
  this is just a hack.


2.24 Sep 13, 2009

- Simplified new constructor API (the 2.23 API is still silently supported but
  not documented):

      Log::Dispatch->new( outputs => [ [ 'File', ... ],
                                       [ 'Screen', ... ],
                                     ]
                        );

  Implemented by Jon Swartz.

- All of the mail sending modules now warn unconditionally if sending mail
  fails. This removes the incorrect use of warnings::enabled() in some
  modules. RT #43516.


2.23 Sep 12, 2009

- New constructor API that simplifies creating your Log::Dispatch object.
  Implemented by Jon Swartz.

- Made name parameter optional. We now auto-generate a unique name if one is
  not given. Implemented by Jon Swartz.

- Added a newline parameter that causes a newline to be added to each message,
  and updated the documentation regarding newlines. Implemented by Jon Swartz.

- Removed repetitive boilerplate documentation from each output
  class. Implemented by Jon Swartz.

- The level_names and level_numbers used internally are now computed once and
  shared between output objects. Implemented by Jon Swartz.

- Updated repo url - now at http://hg.urth.org/hg/Log-Dispatch

- Explicitly depend on Sys::Syslog 0.16.

- Added warn as a synonym for warning. RT #44821. Requested by Dylan Martin.

- Added an add_callback method to Log::Dispatch and
  Log::Dispatch::Output. This lets you add a new formatting callback after an
  object is created. Based on a patch from Ricardo Signes. RT #48283.

- The Log::Dispatch docs mistakenly told you to provide a log() method when
  creating a new output class. RT #40561.

- Made all modules have the same version as Log::Dispatch itself.
