3## [Unreleased]
4
5## [0.4.14] - 2021-01-27
6
7* Remove the `__private_api_log_lit` special case.
8* Fixed incorrect combination of `kv_unstable` and `std` features causing compile failures.
9* Remove unstable `Value::to_*` conversions that were incorrectly using `as`.
10* Rename unstable `Value::to_error` to `Value::to_borrowed_error`.
11
12## [0.4.13] - 2021-01-11
13
14* This is the same as `0.4.11`, except with a `kv_unstable_std` feature added to aid migrating current dependents to `0.4.14` (which was originally going to be `0.4.13` until it was decided to create a patch from `0.4.11` to minimize disruption).
15
16## [0.4.12] - 2020-12-24
17
18### New
19
20* Support platforms without atomics by racing instead of failing to compile
21* Implement `Log` for `Box<T: Log>`
22* Update `cfg-if` to `1.0`
23* Internal reworks of the structured logging API. Removed the `Fill` API
24and added `source::as_map` and `source::as_list` to easily serialize a `Source`
25as either a map of `{key: value, ..}` or as a list of `[(key, value), ..]`.
26
27### Fixed
28
29* Fixed deserialization of `LevelFilter` to use their `u64` index variants
30
31## [0.4.11] - 2020-07-09
32
33### New
34
35* Support coercing structured values into concrete types.
36* Reference the `win_dbg_logger` in the readme.
37
38### Fixed
39
40* Updates a few deprecated items used internally.
41* Fixed issues in docs and expands sections.
42* Show the correct build badge in the readme.
43* Fix up a possible inference breakage with structured value errors.
44* Respect formatting flags in structured value formatting.
45
46## [0.4.10] - 2019-12-16 (yanked)
47
48### Fixed
49
50* Fixed the `log!` macros so they work in expression context (this regressed in `0.4.9`, which has been yanked).
51
52## [0.4.9] - 2019-12-12 (yanked)
53
54### Minimum Supported Rust Version
55
56This release bumps the minimum compiler version to `1.31.0`. This was mainly needed for `cfg-if`,
57but between `1.16.0` and `1.31.0` there are a lot of language and library improvements we now
58take advantage of.
59
60### New
61
62* Unstable support for capturing key-value pairs in a record using the `log!` macros
63
64### Improved
65
66* Better documentation for max level filters.
67* Internal updates to line up with bumped MSRV
68
69## [0.4.8] - 2019-07-28
70
71### New
72
73* Support attempting to get `Record` fields as static strings.
74
75## [0.4.7] - 2019-07-06
76
77### New
78
79* Support for embedded environments with thread-unsafe initialization.
80* Initial unstable support for capturing structured data under the `kv_unstable`
81feature gate. This new API doesn't affect existing users and may change in future
82patches (so those changes may not appear in the changelog until it stabilizes).
83
84### Improved
85
86* Docs for using `log` with the 2018 edition.
87* Error messages for macros missing arguments.
88
89## [0.4.6] - 2018-10-27
90
91### Improved
92
93* Support 2018-style macro import for the `log_enabled!` macro.
94
95## [0.4.5] - 2018-09-03
96
97### Improved
98
99* Make `log`'s internal helper macros less likely to conflict with user-defined
100  macros.
101
102## [0.4.4] - 2018-08-17
103
104### Improved
105
106* Support 2018-style imports of the log macros.
107
108## [0.4.3] - 2018-06-29
109
110### Improved
111
112* More code generation improvements.
113
114## [0.4.2] - 2018-06-05
115
116### Improved
117
118* Log invocations now generate less code.
119
120### Fixed
121
122* Example Logger implementations now properly set the max log level.
123
124## [0.4.1] - 2017-12-30
125
126### Fixed
127
128* Some doc links were fixed.
129
130## [0.4.0] - 2017-12-24
131
132The changes in this release include cleanup of some obscure functionality and a more robust public
133API designed to support bridges to other logging systems, and provide more flexibility to new
134features in the future.
135
136### Compatibility
137
138Vast portions of the Rust ecosystem use the 0.3.x release series of log, and we don't want to force
139the community to go through the pain of upgrading every crate to 0.4.x at the exact same time. Along
140with 0.4.0, we've published a new 0.3.9 release which acts as a "shim" over 0.4.0. This will allow
141crates using either version to coexist without losing messages from one side or the other.
142
143There is one caveat - a log message generated by a crate using 0.4.x but consumed by a logging
144implementation using 0.3.x will not have a file name or module path. Applications affected by this
145can upgrade their logging implementations to one using 0.4.x to avoid losing this information. The
146other direction does not lose any information, fortunately!
147
148**TL;DR** Libraries should feel comfortable upgrading to 0.4.0 without treating that as a breaking
149change. Applications may need to update their logging implementation (e.g. env-logger) to a newer
150version using log 0.4.x to avoid losing module and file information.
151
152### New
153
154* The crate is now `no_std` by default.
155* `Level` and `LevelFilter` now implement `Serialize` and `Deserialize` when the `serde` feature is
156    enabled.
157* The `Record` and `Metadata` types can now be constructed by third-party code via a builder API.
158* The `logger` free function returns a reference to the logger implementation. This, along with the
159    ability to construct `Record`s, makes it possible to bridge from another logging framework to
160    this one without digging into the private internals of the crate. The standard `error!` `warn!`,
161    etc, macros now exclusively use the public API of the crate rather than "secret" internal APIs.
162* `Log::flush` has been added to allow crates to tell the logging implementation to ensure that all
163    "in flight" log events have been persisted. This can be used, for example, just before an
164    application exits to ensure that asynchronous log sinks finish their work.
165
166### Removed
167
168* The `shutdown` and `shutdown_raw` functions have been removed. Supporting shutdown significantly
169    complicated the implementation and imposed a performance cost on each logging operation.
170* The `log_panics` function and its associated `nightly` Cargo feature have been removed. Use the
171    [log-panics](https://crates.io/crates/log-panics) instead.
172
173### Changed
174
175* The `Log` prefix has been removed from type names. For example, `LogLevelFilter` is now
176    `LevelFilter`, and `LogRecord` is now `Record`.
177* The `MaxLogLevelFilter` object has been removed in favor of a `set_max_level` free function.
178* The `set_logger` free functions have been restructured. The logger is now directly passed to the
179    functions rather than a closure which returns the logger. `set_logger` now takes a `&'static
180    Log` and is usable in `no_std` contexts in place of the old `set_logger_raw`. `set_boxed_logger`
181    is a convenience function which takes a `Box<Log>` but otherwise acts like `set_logger`. It
182    requires the `std` feature.
183* The `file` and `module_path` values in `Record` no longer have the `'static` lifetime to support
184    integration with other logging frameworks that don't provide a `'static` lifetime for the
185    equivalent values.
186* The `file`, `line`, and `module_path` values in `Record` are now `Option`s to support integration
187    with other logging frameworks that don't provide those values.
188
189### In the Future
190
191* We're looking to add support for *structured* logging - the inclusion of extra key-value pairs of
192    information in a log event in addition to the normal string message. This should be able to be
193    added in a backwards compatible manner to the 0.4.x series when the design is worked out.
