New issue 861 by pekka.klarck: Splitting outputs is not compatible with new
logs and must be removed
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=861
Log files in RF 2.6 are created in new way (issue 360) which isn't
compatible with the old approach of splitting outputs.
We decided to to "fix" this by removing the feature altogether for the
following reasons:
1) The log files ought to work _much_ better with larger amounts of test
data so splitting should not be needed so often anymore.
2) There's just no time to get it fixed for the release.
3) The way splitting used to be implemented isn't very good.
If it turns out the new log files don't perform well enough when the amount
of data is big, we need to add a new way to split outputs. That can be done
in some 2.6.x minor release or in 2.7.
