Wanted to update y'all. As you know, I've been very absent lately due to the 
book consuming every minute of my free time. I know I haven't been contributing 
my due, and for that please accept my sincerest apologies. The book is finally 
done (goes on sale next month!) and I can get back to regular life. I'm going 
to be out of town for the next week on a much-needed vacation with very limited 
access to email. I'll be back the weekend of January 25-26, and that weekend I 
will be spending almost the entire time finally dealing with the 8-10 web 
application-related bugs. After that, I don't see any encumbrances to releasing 
2.0.0.GA.

Except...

Logging Levels. We kinda-sorta talked about this a few months ago, and a few 
months before that, and a few months before that, but we never actually DID 
anything about it. It's clear by now that my "extendable enum" proposal (that 
would be a drop-in replacement for and binary compatible with the current Level 
enum) is not going to be accepted. Absent any other proposals, I suggest we add 
the following new levels before GA:

CONFIG - Between INFO and WARN, mapped to INFO for bridges to other frameworks 
that don't have an equivalent level

FINE - Between DEBUG and TRACE, mapped to TRACE for bridges to other frameworks 
that don't have an equivalent level

I'll let y'all chat about that over the next week. ;-)

Be back soon,

Nick
