Pantheios is an open source C/C++ Logging API library, offering an optimal
combination of 100% type-safety, efficiency, genericity and extensibility. It
is simple to use and extend, highly-portable (platform and
compiler-independent) and, best of all, it upholds the C tradition of you only
pay for what you use.

Pantheios supports logging of message statements of arbitrary complexity,
consisting of heterogeneous types.

Pantheios supports filtering of log messages based on severity level including
(but not limited to) the eight levels defined by the SysLog protocol.

Pantheios supports back-end output, individually and in combination, to
stderr/stdout, SysLog (including a custom implementation of the SysLog protocol
for Windows), Windows debugger, Windows event log, COM Error Object, Speech, or
any custom back-end extension you care to write. Importantly, Pantheios is
readily extended to use the existing transport mechanisms of feature-rich
logging libraries such as ACE, log4cpp, log4cplus, log4cxx.

Pantheios does not contain any compiler-specific or platform-specific
constructs. It supports UNIX (including Linux and Mac OS-X), and Windows, and
should work with any operating system. It is known to be compatible with
Borland (5.6+), Comeau (4.3.3+), Digital Mars (8.45+), GCC (3.4+), Intel (7+),
Metrowerks (8+), Microsoft Visual C++ (6.0+), and should work with any
reasonably modern C++ compiler.

Pantheios is completely free and includes source released under a BSD-style
license. Commercial servics, including bespoke customisations, are available by
Synesis Software Pty Ltd; http://synesis.com.au/contact.html

Release 1.0.1 beta 194 incorporates:
 * added pantheios::slice inserter, along with test programs
 * wide-string compatibility at the source level (no build targets)
 * ensures that PANTHEIOS_TRACE_PREFIX is convertible to pan_char_t const*
 * reports failure to assign file for all back-ends
 * Windows versions of GCC makefiles now generate libraries with leading lib
and with the .a extension (i.e. libpantheios.1.util.gcc34.a, rather than
pantheios.1.util.gcc34.lib)
 * added build.common target to makefiles
 * removed VC++ 8/9 "safe" makefiles
 * bundles xTests 0.14.5
 * NOTE: Now requires STLSoft 1.9.93
