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
from Synesis Software Pty Ltd; http://synesis.com.au/contact.html

Release 1.0.1 beta 208 incorporates:
 * be.file added pantheios_be_file_flush(), and corrected omission to add 1900
to year and 1 to month in be.file's interpretation of date/time format
specifiers in its file path
 * renamed status codes PANTHEIOS_INIT_RC_UNKNOWN_ERROR,
PANTHEIOS_INIT_RC_UNSPECIFIED_ERROR to PANTHEIOS_INIT_RC_UNKNOWN_FAILURE,
PANTHEIOS_INIT_RC_UNSPECIFIED_FAILURE
 * removed magic-numbers for return values and replacing with
PANTHEIOS_INIT_RC_UNSPECIFIED_FAILURE in core and some stock back-ends
 * be.N minor performance/consistency improvement, and groundwork for coming
feature enhancements

libraries when using Microsoft's -Zc:wchar_t- flag
 * all VC8+ makefiles no longer specify -D_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE
 * added example.cpp.util.strdup
 * removed all extras files; these will be distributed in separate packages
henceforth
