27 <h1>Backwards incompatibilities in log4javascript 1.4</h1>
28 <ul>
29 <li>
30 Loggers are now hierarchical. This means logger names containing full stops have
31 special meaning. For example, from version 1.4 the logger named <code>myapp.ajax</code>
32 by default inherits all the appenders of the logger named <code>myapp</code>, while
33 prior to version 1.4 these loggers would be entirely independent;
34 </li>
35 <li>
36 The signature of the <code>log</code> method of <code>Logger</code> has changed.
37 However, you should not use this method directly; instead, use one of the level-specific
38 wrapper functions (<code>debug</code>, <code>info</code>, <code>error</code> etc.);
39 </li>
40 <li>
41 Appenders can no longer be configured via constructor parameters. Instead you must use
42 setter methods;
43 </li>
44 <li>
45 The format of requests sent via <code><a href="manual.html#ajaxappender">AjaxAppender</a></code>
46 has changed when using <code><a href="manual.html#jsonlayout">JsonLayout</a></code> or
47 <code><a href="manual.html#xmllayout">XmlLayout</a></code>: the formatted log messages are sent
48 as a name-value pair (with default name <code>data</code>) rather than a single unencoded string;
49 </li>
50 <li>
51 All timestamps returned by <code><a href="manual.html#xmllayout">XmlLayout</a></code>,
52 <code><a href="manual.html#jsonlayout">JsonLayout</a></code> and
53 <code><a href="manual.html#httppostdatlayout">HttpPostDataLayout</a></code> are
54 now measured in milliseconds since January 1st 1970 (previously they were returned
55 as seconds since January 1st 1970);
56 </li>
57 <li>
58 The constructors for <a href="manual.html#jsonlayout">JsonLayout</a> and
59 <a href="manual.html#httppostdatlayout">HttpPostDataLayout</a> have changed; the property names
60 used for the properties of the logging event are now set via <code>setKeys</code> rather than
61 in the constructor;
62 </li>
63 <li>
64 <code>setReadable</code> has been removed from <a href="manual.html#jsonlayout">JsonLayout</a>.
65 The <code>readable</code> property should now be set via the constructor;
66 </li>
67 <li>
68 <code>addErrorListener</code> and <code>removeErrorListener</code> removed from
69 the <code>log4javascript</code> object and replaced with the more generic
70 <code><a href="manual.html#log4javascriptaddeventlistener">addEventListener</a></code>
71 and <code>removeEventListener</code> methods. The listener functions are passed
72 different parameters.
73 </li>
