I dont understand the need for the "Proposed Boost logging library". A perfectly good and flexible logging library exists in the form of log4cxx, which is much more flexible than the proposal, has a ton of tools, appenders, is compatible with log4j/log4net etc etc (for those of us who live in multiple worlds). log4cxx is going through a almost complete rewrite, but is still eminently usable. see http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/
From that web site:
"log4cxx-0.9.7 can be downloaded from http://logging.apache.org/site/binindex.html. At this point, log4cxx-0.9.7 is substantially out of date, has known serious deficiencies that have been resolved in the CVS, and should be avoided for new code" There have been no official releases since 0.9.7, so I'd say that it being "eminently usable" is debateable. I am also of the mind that the various 1:1 ports of log4j to C++ carry too much baggage along with them. -- Caleb Epstein caleb dot epstein at gmail dot com
