Remember my blog entry about Zed Shaw's rant regarding the Logger handling in Nitro (which also happens in Rails)?
Inspired by that rant I sent an email to NaHi (the logger author) and suggested a change to allow the format of the logger output to be set by the user instead of hard coded, and Nicholas Seckar also chimed in with his own approach. Eventually NaHi agreed to the change in principle, but used his own implementation (I think). From the devel-logger README:
Changes
1.2.6 - 2005-09-13
* added formatter accessor to logger for dictating the way in which the
logger should format the messages it displays. Thanks to Nicholas Seckar
(cf. [ruby-talk:153391]) and Daniel Berger.
This change was put into the 1.8.3 release and had a huge side effect on Rails as a result of the "clean_logger.rb" file, which caused Rails to go boom when using Ruby 1.8.3.
So, you could say that I (and Nicholas) caused Rails to break. Of course, right minded individuals will recognize what a horrible turd clean_logger.rb is and assign blame appropriately.
And that's what America is all about, dammit! Assigning blame!
Oh, sorry, a little Hurricane Katrina cynicism crept in at the end there. Also, I was just being facetious about the whole blame thing. Anyway, I hear it's already fixed. :)
