Logbook Changelog

Here you can see the full list of changes between each Logbook release.

Version 0.8.0

• Added Pushover handler (thanks @owo)
• Default logging format now includes seconds and microseconds (#110)

Version 0.7.0

Released on May 12th 2014. Codename “not_just_yet”

• Restored Python 3.2 support (thanks @rnortman)
• NullHandlers now respect filters - allows to only drop/mute certain records (#73)
• redirect_logging now sets the legacy root logger’s level to DEBUG by default. This can be changed by specifying set_root_logger_level=False (#96)
• Bugfixes

Version 0.6.0

Released on October 3rd 2013. Codename “why_not_production_ready”

• Added Redis handler (Thanks a lot @guillermo-carrasco for this PR)
• Fixed email encoding bug (Thanks Raphaël Vinot)

Version 0.5.0

Released on August 10th 2013.

• Drop 2.5, 3.2 support, code cleanup
• The exc_info argument now accepts True, like in the standard logging module

Version 0.4.2

Released on June 2nd 2013.

• Fixed Python 3.x compatibility, including speedups
• Dropped Python 2.4 support. Python 2.4 support caused a lot of hacks in the code and introduced duplication to the test code. In addition, it is impossible to cover 2.4-3.x with a single tox installation, which may introduce unwitting code breakage. Travis also does not support Python 2.4 so the chances of accidentally breaking this support were very high as it was...

Version 0.4.1

Released on December 12th. Codename “121212”

• Fixed several outstanding encoding problems, thanks to @dvarazzo.
• Merged in minor pull requests (see https://github.com/mitsuhiko/logbook/pulls?&state=closed)

Version 0.4

Released on October 24th. Codename “Phoenix”

• Added preliminary RabbitMQ and CouchDB support.
• Added logbook.notifiers.NotifoHandler
• channel is now documented to be used for filtering purposes if wanted. Previously this was an opaque string that was not intended for filtering of any kind.

Version 0.3

Released on October 23rd. Codename “Informant”

• Added logbook.more.ColorizingStreamHandlerMixin and logbook.more.ColorizedStderrHandler
• Deprecated logbook.RotatingFileHandlerBase because the interface was not flexible enough.
• Provided basic Python 3 compatibility. This did cause a few smaller API changes that caused minimal changes on Python 2 as well. The deprecation of the logbook.RotatingFileHandlerBase was a result of this.
• Added support for Python 2.4
• Added batch emitting support for handlers which now makes it possible to use the logbook.more.FingersCrossedHandler with the logbook.MailHandler.
• Moved the FingersCrossedHandler handler into the base package. The old location stays importable for a few releases.
• Added logbook.GroupHandler that buffers records until the handler is popped.
• Added logbook.more.ExternalApplicationHandler that executes an external application for each log record emitted.

Version 0.2.1

Bugfix release, Released on September 22nd.

• Fixes Python 2.5 compatibility.

Version 0.2

Released on September 21st. Codename “Walls of Text”

• Implemented default with statement for handlers which is an alias for threadbound.
• applicationbound and threadbound return the handler now.
• Implemented channel recording on the log records.
• The logbook.more.FingersCrossedHandler now is set to ERROR by default and has the ability to create new loggers from a factory function.
• Implemented maximum buffer size for the logbook.more.FingersCrossedHandler as well as a lock for thread safety.
• Added ability to filter for context.
• Moved bubbling flags and filters to the handler object.
• Moved context processors on their own stack.
• Removed the iter_context_handlers function.
• Renamed NestedHandlerSetup to NestedSetup because it can now also configure processors.
• Added the logbook.Processor class.
• There is no difference between logger attached handlers and context specific handlers any more.
• Added a function to redirect warnings to logbook (logbook.compat.redirected_warnings()).
• Fixed and improved logbook.LoggerGroup.
• The logbook.TestHandler now keeps the record open for further inspection.
• The traceback is now removed from a log record when the record is closed. The formatted traceback is a cached property instead of a function.
• Added ticketing handlers that send logs directly into a database.
• Added MongoDB backend for ticketing handlers
• Added a logbook.base.dispatch_record() function to dispatch records to handlers independently of a logger (uses the default record dispatching logic).
• Renamed logger_name to channel.
• Added a multi processing log handler (logbook.more.MultiProcessingHandler).
• Added a twitter handler.
• Added a ZeroMQ handler.
• Added a Growl handler.
• Added a Libnotify handler.
• Added a monitoring file handler.
• Added a handler wrapper that moves the actual handling into a background thread.
• The mail handler can now be configured to deliver each log record not more than n times in m seconds.
• Added support for Python 2.5
• Added a logbook.queues.SubscriberGroup to deal with multiple subscribers.
• Added a logbook.compat.LoggingHandler for redirecting logbook log calls to the standard library’s logging module.
