Old version 1 - NALog

this was an asynchronous logger, but the hassle wasn't worth it,

• async io is usually not real async, linux can(and often does) turn your carefully assembled asynchronous code into synchronous code, even with the O_DIRECT hint,

for more details see this and this

with the current state of async io on unix I don't think this project is worth struggling with.

the latest (unstable)version of this is available at alog as a public archive

or on this pastebin(log.c) with version 1.0

Old version 2 - CLogger

the oldest version is clogger it was archived because I stoped it's development and moved onto this

It allowed multiple loggers at the same time, if you want that you can check it out but it lacks a lot of features
