[0.6.0-WIP] - 2026-09-07

💥 Breaking Changes

  • Rename public logging macros and preprocessor constants (01f6309)

    • Rename main convenience macros (e.g., VIGIL_INFO, VIGIL_WARN) to use the explicit VIGIL_LOG_* prefix.
    • Standardize preprocessor severity level constants from VIGIL_LOG_LEVEL_* to VIGIL_LEVEL_*.
    • Introduce a centralized VIGIL_LOG_IMPL dispatch macro leveraging if constexpr for compile-time filtering.

⚠️ The main logging macros (such as VIGIL_INFO, VIGIL_WARN, VIGIL_ERROR, etc.) now require the VIGIL_LOG_ prefix (e.g., VIGIL_LOG_INFO), and preprocessor severity constants have been renamed from VIGIL_LOG_LEVEL_* to VIGIL_LEVEL_*, breaking backward compatibility for API consumers.

🚀 Features

  • Add lazy file sinks and per-logger async configuration (49ad6e9)

    • Introduce LazyFileSink to defer physical file creation until the first log message is written
    • Extend LogConfig with optional Async and AsyncQueueSize overrides for individual loggers
    • Implement lazy initialization of the global spdlog thread pool via EnsureAsyncThreadPool
    • Standardize pointer allocations across the logging subsystem using custom SmartPointers utilities

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Ensure assertion header is always included for release builds (3a67ce5)

    • Remove the #if defined(VIGIL_ENABLE_ASSERTS) conditional guard around #include "vigil/assert.h" in log_system.h
    • Prevent compilation errors in Release builds caused by missing assertion macros required by the logging system logic

  • Correct VIGIL_API placement and sink type consistency in LoggerImpl (a5f630a)

🚜 Refactor

  • Decouple SourceLocation from std::source_location alias in C++20 (54d2aef)

  • Encapsulate LoggerImpl members and add public accessors (4fa69b6)

    • Make m_Logger, m_ConsoleSink, and m_FileSink private inside LoggerImpl to improve data hiding
    • Expose controlled getter methods (SpdLogger(), FileSink(), ConsoleSink(), and Name())
    • Add AttachSink() method to LoggerImpl for white-box testing support

🛠️ Build System

  • Optimize CMake configuration structure and option management (84ed135)

    • Clean up option alignments and default values for scoped logging and build flags.
    • Reorganize module inclusion paths, target grouping, and output directory layouts.

  • Enhance compiler options and optimize dead-code stripping (2e4234a)

    • Add MSVC multi-processor compilation (/MP) flag to accelerate builds.
    • Implement cross-platform dead-code stripping via compile and link options for GCC, Clang, and MSVC.
    • Scope _FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 strictly to Release builds under GCC and Clang.
    • Restructure compiler options using generator expressions.

  • Correct C++ standard target for example executables to C++20 (7894d54)

🔧 Maintenance

  • Ensure complete test and example coverage in CI (dc01926)

  • Update git-cliff action version and adjust release name format (9839540)

  • Update workflow to trigger on workflow_dispatch and improve version handling (796ea20)

    • Improve cliff.toml configuration

  • Expand and improve test suite for assertions, async, hooks, and registry (22a64c0)

    • Add test for VIGIL_VERIFY, VIGIL_ASSERT, and related pointer/range validation macros
    • Introduce robust asynchronous logging tests verifying delivery guarantees and configuration overrides
    • Implement dedicated unit tests for all event hooks (OnMessage, OnLevelChange, OnFlush, OnShutdown)
    • Improve test helpers with UniqueLogPath() to guarantee test isolation and prevent file collisions
