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 (5.5.1+), Comeau (4.3.3+), Digital
Mars (8.45+), GCC (3.2+), Intel (6+), Metrowerks (8+), Microsoft Visual C++ (5.0+), and should work with any reasonably modern C++
compiler.

Pantheios is completely free and includes source released under a BSD-style license. Commercial customisations (of front-/back-ends
are provided by Synesis Software Pty Ltd; http://synesis.com.au/contact.html)

Release 1.0.1 beta 186 incorporates:
 * added the Pantheios Assertion API: PANTHEIOS_ASSERT() and PANTHEIOS_MESSAGE_ASSERT()
 * added example.c.assert and example.cpp.assert examplee
 * includes examples involving variadic macros in Borland makefiles, from 5.82 onwards
 * removed unnecessary (and unhelpful) dependencies on pantheios/pantheios.hpp for inserter classes
 * changed semantics of pantheios_malloc() to guarantee zeroing of allocation memory and valid alignment for any type
 * fixed incorrect definition of getInitErrorString()
 * numerous changes to build foundation of future wide string support
 * bundles xTests 0.13.1
 * NOTE: Now requires STLSoft 1.9.81
