bunyan - npm Package Versions

[pull #24] Support for gzip'ed log files in the bunyan CLI (by github.com/mhart):

  $ bunyan foo.log.gz
  ...

[pull #16] Bullet proof the bunyan.stdSerializers (by github.com/rlidwka).

[pull #15] The bunyan CLI will now chronologically merge multiple log streams when it is given multiple file arguments. (by github.com/davepacheco)

  $ bunyan foo.log bar.log
  ... merged log records ...

[pull #15] A new bunyan.RingBuffer stream class that is useful for keeping the last N log messages in memory. This can be a fast way to keep recent, and thus hopefully relevant, log messages. (by @dapsays, github.com/davepacheco)

Potential uses: Live debugging if a running process could inspect those messages. One could dump recent log messages at a finer log level than is typically logged on uncaughtException.

  var ringbuffer = new bunyan.RingBuffer({ limit: 100 });
  var log = new bunyan({
      name: 'foo',
      streams: [{
          type: 'raw',
          stream: ringbuffer,
          level: 'debug'
      }]
  });

  log.info('hello world');
  console.log(ringbuffer.records);

Add support for "raw" streams. This is a logging stream that is given raw log record objects instead of a JSON-stringified string.

  function Collector() {
      this.records = [];
  }
  Collector.prototype.write = function (rec) {
      this.records.push(rec);
  }
  var log = new Logger({
      name: 'mylog',
      streams: [{
          type: 'raw',
          stream: new Collector()
      }]
  });

See "examples/raw-stream.js". I expect raw streams to be useful for piping Bunyan logging to separate services (e.g. http://www.loggly.com/, https://github.com/etsy/statsd) or to separate in-process handling.

Add test/corpus/*.log files (accidentally excluded) so the test suite actually works(!).

[pull #21] Bunyan loggers now re-emit fs.createWriteStream error events. By github.com/EvanOxfeld. See "examples/handle-fs-error.js" and "test/error-event.js" for details.

  var log = new Logger({name: 'mylog', streams: [{path: FILENAME}]});
  log.on('error', function (err, stream) {
      // Handle error writing to or creating FILENAME.
  });

jsstyle'ing (via make check)

Change bunyan CLI default output to color "src" info red. Before the "src" information was uncolored. The "src" info is the filename, line number and function name resulting from using src: true in Logger creation. I.e., the (/Users/trentm/tm/node-bunyan/examples/hi.js:10) in:

  [2012-04-10T22:28:58.237Z]  INFO: myapp/39339 on banana.local (/Users/trentm/tm/node-bunyan/examples/hi.js:10): hi

Tweak bunyan CLI default output to still show an "err" field if it doesn't have a "stack" attribute.
