journal 0.4.0

A simple log recorder usable both from libraries and applications.

0.4.0

This is a rewrite of almost every part of the library for greater modularity.

Everything about this release is a breaking change. Classes were renamed, moved, created, and removed. In a lot of cases, the Journal prefix went away. If you have name collisions, use import aliasing or show/hide.

journal now requires Dart 3.7.

The developer-facing utilities were reorganized into the main journal library and the separate developer one was dropped.

DefaultOutput was separated into StdioOutput and WebOutput, and all Output implementations, as well as the logging compatibility adapter, were moved to separate packages.

Support for contextual information was added. This makes it possible to provide additional values to any number of logs recorded within its scope.

The filtering function changed from a simple level comparison (minimumLevel) to a function that takes both level and name into account to determine whether a given context or entry will be allowed.

Zone support was removed entirely. Use contexts instead.

The default output format has slightly changed for all outputs - mostly to include support for contexts. The standard IO output now also comes with a JSON output format. All outputs are now also vastly more customizable.

Outputs incompatible with the target system no longer need to be conditionally included - they now do this internally so they're simply ignored on unsupported targets.
