Hello Chris,
I recently committed a number of changes to the Layout class as well
as the various pattern converters. This was done simultaneously with
improvements to the PatternLayout class. It was just done because it
seemed like the right thing to do.
However, reading your messages from October
As you have noticed, my last commit changed the interface of the Layout class.
Layouts now write directly to the output stream of the appender which is
much more efficient than creating a new sting for each token in the
conversion pattern. This change has been discussed a long time ago.
Please
