On the spirit of non-stop releases, here is LogBox version 1.2.  Apart from some bug fixes we have squeezed in some great new functionality, especially when dealing with configuring LogBox and portability. Check out our milestone tickets for further review. Version 1.2 Tickets
  • Added some new methods to the LogBoxConfig object: resetAppenders(), resetCategories and resetRoot() to reset some configurations.
  • Fixes on appender declarations and layouts
  • Addition of the LogBox DSL to coldbox configuration file, so now you can configure logbox via a cool DSL
  • Ability to configure LogBox via a simple CFC with a simple configure() method and our cool DSL
The major portion of this release is three words "Portabiity in Style".  We wanted to add a new way to configure LogBox in ColdBox style, a cool data definition DSL. Of course, our documentation is updated and now online: http://wiki.coldbox.org/wiki/LogBox.cfm#LogBox_DSL. Here is a little tast of the DSL: function configure(){

logBox = {
   // Appenders   appenders = {
      appenderName = {
         class="class.to.appender",
         layout="class.to.layout",
         properties={
            name = value,
            prop2 = value 2
         }
   },
   // Root Logger   root = {levelMin="FATAL", levelMax="DEBUG", appenders="*"},
   // Granualr Categories   categories = {
      "coldbox.system" = { levelMin="FATAL", levelMax="INFO", appenders="*"},
      "model.security" = { levelMax="DEBUG", appenders="console,twitter"}
   }
   // Implicit categories   debug = ["coldbox.system.interceptors"],
   info = ["model.class", "model2.class2"],
   warn = ["model.class", "model2.class2"],
   error = ["model.class", "model2.class2"],
   fatal = ["model.class", "model2.class2"],
   off = ["model.class", "model2.class2"]
};

}
