# 0.3.17 (April 21, 2023)

This release of `tracing-subscriber` fixes a build error when using `env-filter`
with recent versions of the `regex` crate. It also introduces several minor API
improvements.

### Fixed

- **env-filter**: Add "unicode-case" and "unicode-perl" to the `regex`
  dependency, fixing a build error with recent versions of `regex` ([#2566])
- A number of minor documentation typos and other fixes ([#2384], [#2378],
  [#2368], [#2548])

### Added

- **filter**: Add `fmt::Display` impl for `filter::Targets` ([#2343])
- **fmt**: Made `with_ansi(false)` no longer require the "ansi" feature, so that
  ANSI formatting escapes can be disabled without requiring ANSI-specific
  dependencies ([#2532])

### Changed

- **fmt**: Dim targets in the `Compact` formatter, matching the default
  formatter ([#2409])

# 0.3.16 (October 6, 2022)

This release of `tracing-subscriber` fixes a regression introduced in
[v0.3.15][subscriber-0.3.15] where `Option::None`'s `Layer` implementation would
set the max level hint to `OFF`. In addition, it adds several new APIs,
including the `Filter::event_enabled` method for filtering events based on
fields values, and the ability to log internal errors that occur when writing a
log line.

This release also replaces the dependency on the unmaintained [`ansi-term`]
crate with the [`nu-ansi-term`] crate, resolving an *informational* security
advisory ([RUSTSEC-2021-0139]) for [`ansi-term`]'s maintainance status. This
increases the minimum supported Rust version (MSRV) to Rust 1.50+, although the
crate should still compile for the previous MSRV of Rust 1.49+ when the `ansi`
feature is not enabled.

### Fixed

- **layer**: `Option::None`'s `Layer` impl always setting the `max_level_hint`
  to `LevelFilter::OFF` ([#2321])
- Compilation with `-Z minimal versions` ([#2246])
- **env-filter**: Clarify that disabled level warnings are emitted by
  `tracing-subscriber` ([#2285])

### Added

- **fmt**: Log internal errors to `stderr` if writing a log line fails ([#2102])
- **fmt**: `FmtLayer::log_internal_errors` and
  `FmtSubscriber::log_internal_errors` methods for configuring whether internal
  writer errors are printed to `stderr` ([#2102])
- **fmt**: `#[must_use]` attributes on builders to warn if a `Subscriber` is
  configured but not set as the default subscriber ([#2239])
- **filter**: `Filter::event_enabled` method for filtering an event based on its
  fields ([#2245], [#2251])
- **filter**: `Targets::default_level` accessor ([#2242])

### Changed

- **ansi**: Replaced dependency on unmaintained `ansi-term` crate with
  `nu-ansi-term` (([#2287], fixes informational advisory [RUSTSEC-2021-0139])
- `tracing-core`: updated to [0.1.30][core-0.1.30]
- Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) increased to Rust 1.50+ (when the
  `ansi`) feature flag is enabled ([#2287])

### Documented

- **fmt**: Correct inaccuracies in `fmt::init` documentation ([#2224])
- **filter**: Fix incorrect doc link in `filter::Not` combinator ([#2249])

# 0.3.15 (Jul 20, 2022)

This release fixes a bug where the `reload` layer would fail to pass through
`max_level_hint` to the underlying layer, potentially breaking filtering.

### Fixed

- **reload**: pass through `max_level_hint` to the inner `Layer` ([#2204])

Thanks to @guswynn for contributing to this release!

[#2204]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tracing/pull/2204

# 0.3.14 (Jul 1, 2022)

This release fixes multiple filtering bugs in the `Layer` implementations for
`Option<impl Layer>` and `Vec<impl Layer>`.

### Fixed

- **layer**: `Layer::event_enabled` implementation for `Option<impl Layer<S>>`
  returning `false` when the `Option` is `None`, disabling all events globally
  ([#2193])
- **layer**: `Layer::max_level_hint` implementation for `Option<impl Layer<S>>`
  incorrectly disabling max level filtering when the option is `None` ([#2195])
- **layer**: `Layer::max_level_hint` implementation for `Vec<impl Layer<S>>`
  returning `LevelFilter::ERROR` rather than `LevelFilter::OFF` when the `Vec`
  is empty ([#2195])

Thanks to @CAD97 and @guswynn for contributing to this release!

# 0.3.13 (Jun 30, 2022) (YANKED)

This release of `tracing-subscriber` fixes a compilation failure due to an
incorrect `tracing-core` dependency that was introduced in v0.3.12.

### Changed

- **tracing_core**: Updated minimum dependency version to 0.1.28 ([#2190])

[#2190]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tracing/pull/2190

# 0.3.12 (Jun 29, 2022) (YANKED)

This release of `tracing-subscriber` adds a new `Layer::event_enabled` method,
which allows `Layer`s to filter events *after* their field values are recorded;
a `Filter` implementation for `reload::Layer`, to make using `reload` with
per-layer filtering more ergonomic, and additional inherent method downcasting
APIs for the `Layered` type. In addition, it includes dependency updates, and
minor fixes for documentation and feature flagging.

### Added

- **layer**: `Layer::event_enabled` method, which can be implemented to filter
  events based on their field values ([#2008])
- **reload**: `Filter` implementation for `reload::Layer` ([#2159])
- **layer**: `Layered::downcast_ref` and `Layered::is` inherent methods
  ([#2160])

### Changed

- **parking_lot**: Updated dependency on `parking_lot` to 0.13.0 ([#2143])
- Replaced `lazy_static` dependency with `once_cell` ([#2147])

### Fixed

- Don't enable `tracing-core` features by default ([#2107])
- Several documentation link and typo fixes ([#2064], [#2068], #[2077], [#2161],
  [#1088])

# 0.3.11 (Apr 9, 2022)

This is a bugfix release for the `Filter` implementation for `EnvFilter` added
in [v0.3.10].

### Fixed

- **env-filter**: Added missing `Filter::on_record` callback to `EnvFilter`'s
  `Filter` impl ([#2058])
- **env-filter**: Fixed method resolution issues when calling `EnvFilter`
  methods with both the `Filter` and `Layer` traits in scope ([#2057])
- **env-filter**: Fixed `EnvFilter::builder().parse()` and other parsing methods
  returning an error when parsing an empty string ([#2052])

Thanks to new contributor @Ma124 for contributing to this release!

# 0.3.10 (Apr 1, 2022)

This release adds several new features, including a `Filter` implementation and
new builder API for `EnvFilter`, support for using a `Vec<L> where L: Layer` as
a `Layer`, and a number of smaller API improvements to make working with dynamic
and reloadable layers easier.

### Added

- **registry**: Implement `Filter` for `EnvFilter`, allowing it to be used with
  per-layer filtering ([#1983])
- **registry**: `Filter::on_new_span`, `Filter::on_enter`,
  `Filter::on_exit`, `Filter::on_close` and `Filter::on_record` callbacks to
  allow `Filter`s to track span states internally ([#1973], [#2017], [#2031])
- **registry**: `Filtered::filter` and `Filtered::filter_mut` accessors
  ([#1959])
- **registry**: `Filtered::inner` and `Filtered::inner_mut` accessors to borrow

- **layer**: Implement `Layer` for `Vec<L: Layer>`, to allow composing together
  a dynamically sized list of `Layer`s ([#2027])
- **layer**: `Layer::boxed` method to make type-erasing `Layer`s easier
  ([#2026])
- **fmt**: `fmt::Layer::writer` and `fmt::Layer::writer_mut` accessors ([#2034])
- **fmt**: `fmt::Layer::set_ansi` method to allow changing the ANSI formatting
  configuration at runtime ([#2034])
- **env-filter**: `EnvFilter::builder` to configure a new `EnvFilter` prior to
  parsing it ([#2035])
- Several documentation fixes and improvements ([#1972], [#1971], [#2023],
  [#2023])

### Fixed

- **fmt**: `fmt::Layer`'s auto traits no longer depend on the `Subscriber` type
  parameter's auto traits ([#2025])
- **env-filter**: Fixed missing help text when the `ansi` feature is disabled
  ([#2029])

# 0.3.8 (Feb 4, 2022)

This release adds *experimental* support for recording structured field
values using the [`valuable`] crate to the `format::Json` formatter. In
particular, user-defined types which are recorded using their
[`valuable::Valuable`] implementations will be serialized as JSON objects,
rather than using their `fmt::Debug` representation. See [this blog post][post]
for details on `valuable`.

Note that `valuable` support currently requires `--cfg tracing_unstable`. See
the documentation for details.

Additionally, this release includes a number of other smaller API improvements.

### Added

- **json**: Experimental support for recording [`valuable`] values as structured
  JSON ([#1862], [#1901])
- **filter**: `Targets::would_enable` method for testing if a `Targets` filter
  would enable a given target ([#1903])
- **fmt**: `map_event_format`, `map_fmt_fields`, and `map_writer` methods to
  `fmt::Layer` and `fmt::SubscriberBuilder` ([#1871])

### Changed

- `tracing-core`: updated to [0.1.22][core-0.1.22]

### Fixed

- Set `smallvec` minimal version to 1.2.0, to fix compilation errors with `-Z
  minimal-versions` ([#1890])
- Minor documentation fixes ([#1902], [#1893])

Thanks to @guswynn, @glts, and @lilyball for contributing to this release!

# 0.3.7 (Jan 25, 2022)

This release adds combinators for combining filters.

Additionally, this release also updates the `thread-local` crate to v1.1.4,
fixing warnings for the security advisory [RUSTSEC-2022-0006]. Note that
previous versions of `tracing-subscriber` did not use any of the `thread-local`
crate's APIs effected by the vulnerability. However, updating the version fixes
warnings emitted by `cargo audit` and similar tools.

### Added

- **filter**: Added combinators for combining filters ([#1578])

### Fixed

- **registry**: Updated `thread-local` to v1.1.4 ([#1858])

Thanks to new contributor @matze for contributing to this release!

# 0.3.6 (Jan 14, 2022)

This release adds configuration options to `tracing_subscriber::fmt` to log
source code locations for events.
### Added

- **fmt**: Added `with_file` and `with_line_number`
  configuration methods to `fmt::Format`, `fmt::SubscriberBuilder`, and
  `fmt::Layer` ([#1773])

### Fixed

- **fmt**: Removed incorrect leading comma from span fields with the `Pretty`
  formatter ([#1833])

### Deprecated

- **fmt**: Deprecated `Pretty::with_source_location`, as it can now be replaced
  by the more general `Format`, `SubscriberBuilder`, and `Layer` methods
  ([#1773])

Thanks to new contributor @renecouto for contributing to this release!

# 0.3.5 (Dec 29, 2021)

This release re-enables `RUST_LOG` filtering in `tracing_subscriber::fmt`'s
default initialization methods, and adds an `OffsetLocalTime` formatter for
using local timestamps with the `time` crate.

### Added

- **fmt**: Added `OffsetLocalTime` formatter to `fmt::time` for formatting local
  timestamps with a fixed offset ([#1772])

### Fixed

- **fmt**: Added a `Targets` filter to `fmt::init()` and `fmt::try_init()` when
  the "env-filter" feature is disabled, so that `RUST_LOG` is still honored
  ([#1781])

Thanks to @marienz and @ishitatsuyuki for contributing to this release!

improvements.

### Fixed

- **fmt**: Fixed `fmt` not emitting log lines when timestamp formatting fails
  ([#1689])
- **fmt**: Fixed double space before thread IDs with `Pretty` formatter
  ([#1778])
- Several documentation improvements ([#1608], [#1699], [#1701])

# 0.3.3 (Nov 29, 2021)

This release fixes a pair of regressions in `tracing-subscriber`'s `fmt` module.

### Fixed

- **fmt**: Fixed missing event fields with `Compact` formatter ([#1755])
- **fmt**: Fixed `PrettyFields` formatter (and thus `format::Pretty` event
  formatter) ignoring the `fmt::Layer`'s ANSI color code configuration ([#1747])

### Fixed

- **fmt**: Fixed `MakeWriter` filtering not working with `BoxMakeWriter`
  ([#1694])

### Added

- **fmt**: `Writer::has_ansi_escapes` method to check if an output supports ANSI
  terminal formatting escape codes ([#1696])
- **fmt**: Added additional ANSI terminal formatting to field formatters when
  supported ([#1702])
- **fmt**: Added `FmtContext::span_scope`, `FmtContext::event_scope`, and
  `FmtContext::parent_span` methods for accessing the current span and its scope
  when formatting an event ([#1728])
- **fmt**: Improved documentation on implementing event formatters ([#1727])

# 0.3.1 (Oct 25, 2021)

This release fixes a few issues related to feature flagging.

### Fixed

- **time**: Compilation error when enabling the "time" feature flag without also
  enabling the "local-time" feature flag ([#1685])
- **registry**: Unused method warnings when the "std" feature is enabled but the
  "registry" feature is disabled ([#1686])

[#1686]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tracing/pull/1686

# 0.3.0 (Oct 22, 2021)

This is a breaking release of `tracing-subscriber`. The primary breaking change
in this release is the removal of the dependency on the [`chrono` crate], due to
[RUSTSEC-2020-0159]. To replace `chrono`, support is added for formatting
timestamps using the [`time` crate] instead.

In addition, this release includes a number of other breaking API changes, such
as adding (limited) support for `#![no_std]` targets, removing previously
deprecated APIs, and more.

### Breaking Changes

- Removed APIs deprecated in the v0.2.x release series.
- Renamed `Layer::new_span` to `Layer::on_new_span` ([#1674])
- Removed `Layer` impl for `Arc<L: Layer<S>>` and `Arc<dyn Layer<S> + ...>`
  ([#1649])
- Replaced the [`chrono` crate] with the [`time` crate] for timestamp formatting, to
  resolve [RUSTSEC-2020-0159] ([#1646])
- Removed `json` and `env-filter` from default features. They must now be
  enabled explictly ([#1647]). This means that `RUST_LOG`-based filters _will not_
  work unless the `env-filter` feature is enabled.
- Changed `FormatEvent::format_event` and `FormatFields::format_fields`
  trait methods to take a `Writer` type, rather than a `&mut dyn fmt::Write`
  trait object ([#1661])
- Changed the signature of the `MakeWriter` trait by adding a lifetime parameter
  ([#781])

### Changed

- **layer**: Renamed `Layer::new_span` to `Layer::on_new_span` ([#1674])
- **fmt**: Changed `FormatEvent::format_event` and `FormatFields::format_fields`
  trait methods to take a `Writer` type, rather than a `&mut dyn fmt::Write`
  trait object ([#1661])
- **json**, **env-filter**: `json` and `env-filter` feature flags are no longer
  enabled by default ([#1647])
### Removed

- Removed deprecated `CurrentSpan` type ([#1320])
- **registry**: Removed deprecated `SpanRef::parents` iterator, replaced by
  `SpanRef::scope` in [#1431] ([#1648)])
- **layer**: Removed deprecated `Context::scope` iterator, replaced by
  `Context::span_scope` and `Context::event_scope` in [#1431] and [#1434]
  ([#1648)])
- **layer**: Removed `Layer` impl for `Arc<L: Layer<S>>` and
   `Arc<dyn Layer<S> + ...>`. These interfere with per-layer filtering. ([#1649])
- **fmt**: Removed deprecated `LayerBuilder` type ([#1673])
- **fmt**: Removed `fmt::Layer::on_event` (renamed to `fmt::Layer::fmt_event`)
  ([#1673])
- **fmt**, **chrono**: Removed the `chrono` feature flag and APIs for using the
  [`chrono` crate] for timestamp formatting ([#1646])
### Added

- **fmt**, **time**: `LocalTime` and `UtcTime` types for formatting timestamps
  using the [`time` crate] ([#1646])
- **fmt**: Added a lifetime parameter to the `MakeWriter` trait, allowing it to
  return a borrowed writer. This enables implementations of `MakeWriter` for
  types such as `Mutex<T: io::Write>` and `std::fs::File`. ([#781])
- **env-filter**: Documentation improvements ([#1637])
- Support for some APIs on `#![no_std]` targets, by disabling the `std` feature
  flag ([#1660])

# 0.2.25 (October 5, 2021)

This release fixes an issue where a `Layer` implementation's custom
`downcast_raw` implementation was lost when wrapping that layer with a per-layer
filter.

### Fixed

- **registry**: Forward `Filtered::downcast_raw` to wrapped `Layer` ([#1619])

### Added

- Documentation improvements ([#1596], [#1601])

Thanks to @bryanburgers for contributing to this release!

# 0.2.24 (September 19, 2021)

This release contains a number of bug fixes, including a fix for
`tracing-subscriber` failing to compile on the minimum supported Rust version of
1.42.0. It also adds `IntoIterator` implementations for the `Targets` type.

### Fixed

- Fixed compilation on Rust 1.42.0 ([#1580], [#1581])
- **registry**: Ensure per-layer filter `enabled` state is cleared when a global
  filter short-circuits filter evaluation ([#1575])
- **layer**: Fixed `Layer::on_layer` not being called for `Box`ed `Layer`s,
  which broke  per-layer filtering ([#1576])

### Added

- **filter**: Added `Targets::iter`, returning an iterator over the set of
  target-level pairs enabled by a `Targets` filter ([#1574])
- **filter**:  Added `IntoIterator` implementations for `Targets` and `&Targets`
  ([#1574])

### Fixed

- **env-filter**: Fixed excessive `EnvFilter` memory use ([#1568])
- **filter**: Fixed a panic that may occur in debug mode when using per-layer
  filters together with global filters ([#1569])
- Fixed incorrect documentation formatting ([#1572])

# 0.2.22 (September 13, 2021)

This fixes a regression where the `filter::ParseError` type was accidentally
renamed.

### Fixed

- **filter**: Fix `filter::ParseError` accidentally being renamed to
  `filter::DirectiveParseError` ([#1558])

[#1558]: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tracing/pull/1558

# 0.2.21 (September 12, 2021)

This release introduces the [`Filter`] trait, a new API for [per-layer
filtering][plf]. This allows controlling which spans and events are recorded by
various layers individually, rather than globally.

In addition, it adds a new [`Targets`] filter, which provides a lighter-weight
version of the filtering provided by [`EnvFilter`], as well as other smaller API
improvements and fixes.

### Deprecated

- **registry**: `SpanRef::parent_id`, which cannot properly support per-layer
  filtering. Use `.parent().map(SpanRef::id)` instead. ([#1523])

### Fixed

- **layer** `Context` methods that are provided when the `Subscriber` implements
  `LookupSpan` no longer require the "registry" feature flag ([#1525])
- **layer** `fmt::Debug` implementation for `Layered` no longer requires the `S`
  type parameter to implement `Debug` ([#1528])

### Added

- **registry**: `Filter` trait, `Filtered` type, `Layer::with_filter` method,
  and other APIs for per-layer filtering ([#1523])
- **filter**: `FilterFn` and `DynFilterFn` types that implement global (`Layer`)
  and per-layer (`Filter`) filtering for closures and function pointers
  ([#1523])
- **filter**: `Targets` filter, which implements a lighter-weight form of
  `EnvFilter`-like filtering ([#1550])
- **env-filter**: Added support for filtering on floating-point values ([#1507])
- **layer**: `Layer::on_layer` callback, called when layering the `Layer` onto a
`Subscriber` ([#1523])
- **layer**: `Layer` implementations for `Box<L>` and `Arc<L>` where `L: Layer`
  ([#1536])
- **layer**: `Layer` implementations for `Box<dyn Layer<S> + Send + Sync + 'static>`
  and `Arc<dyn Layer<S> + Send + Sync + 'static>` ([#1536])
- A number of small documentation fixes and improvements ([#1553], [#1544],
  [#1539], [#1524])

  of sources ([#1460])
- **fmt**: Fixed missing space between level and event in the `Pretty` formatter
  ([#1498])
- **json**: Fixed `Json` formatter not honoring `without_time` and `with_level`

- **registry**: `SpanRef::parents`, `SpanRef::from_root`, and `Context::scope`
  iterators, which are replaced by new `SpanRef::scope` and `Scope::from_root`
  iterators ([#1413])

### Added

- **registry**: `SpanRef::scope` method, which returns a leaf-to-root `Iterator`
  including the leaf span ([#1413])
- **registry**: `Scope::from_root` method, which reverses the `scope` iterator
  to iterate root-to-leaf ([#1413])
- **registry**: `Context::event_span` method, which looks up the parent span of

Thanks to @bdonlan and @jeromegn for contributing to this release!

# 0.2.10 (July 31, 2020)

### Fixed

- **docs**: Incorrect formatting (#862)

  layer has already formatted its fields (#634)
- **fmt**: Added missing space when using `record` to add new fields to a span
  that already has fields (#659)
- Updated outdated documentation (#647)


# 0.2.3 (March 5, 2020)

### Fixed

- **env-filter**: Regression where filter directives were selected in the order
  they were listed, rather than most specific first (#624)

# 0.2.2 (February 27, 2020)

### Added

  directives to enable events that are disabled by more-specific filters (#583)
- **filter**: Multiple significant `EnvFilter` performance improvements,
  especially when filtering events generated by `log` records (#578, #583)
- **filter**: Replaced `BTreeMap` with `Vec` in `DirectiveSet`, improving

# 0.2.0-alpha.2 (December 8, 2019)

### Added

- `LookupSpans` implementation for `Layered` (#448)
- `SpanRef::from_root` to iterate over a span's parents from the root (#460)
- `Context::scope`, to iterate over the current context from the root (#460)
- `Context::lookup_current`, which returns a `SpanRef` to the current
  span's data (#460)

### Changed

- Lifetimes on some new `Context` methods to be less restrictive (#460)

### Fixed

- `Layer::downcast_ref` returning invalid references (#454)
- Compilation failure on 32-bit platforms (#462)
- Compilation failure with ANSI formatters (#438)

# 0.2.0-alpha.1 (November 18, 2019)

### Added

- `Registry`, a reusable span store that `Layer`s can use a
  high-performance, in-memory store. (#420, #425, #432, #433, #435)
- Reimplemented `fmt::Subscriber` in terms of the `Registry`
  and `Layer`s (#420)
- Add benchmarks for fmt subscriber (#421)
- Add support for JSON field and event formatting (#377, #415)

### Changed

- **BREAKING**: Change `fmt::format::FormatFields` and
  `fmt::format::FormatEvent` to accept a mandatory `FmtContext`. These
  `FormatFields` and `FormatEvent` will likely see additional breaking
  changes in subsequent alpha. (#420, #425)
- **BREAKING**: Removed `Filter`. Use `EnvFilter` instead (#434)

# 0.1.6 (October 29, 2019)

### Added

- Add `init` and `try_init` functions to `FmtSubscriber` (#385)
- Add `ChronoUtc` and `ChronoLocal` timers, RFC 3339 support (#387)
- Add `tracing::subscriber::set_default` which sets the default
  subscriber and returns a drop guard. This drop guard will reset the
  dispatch on drop (#388).

### Fixed

- Fix default level for `EnvFilter`. Setting `RUST_LOG=target`
  previously only the `ERROR` level, while it should enable everything.
  `tracing-subscriber` now defaults to `TRACE` if no level is specified
  (#401)
- Fix `tracing-log` feature flag for init + try_init. The feature flag
  `tracing_log` was used instead of the correct `tracing-log`. As a
  result, both `tracing-log` and `tracing_log` needed to be specified in
  order to initialize the global logger. Only `tracing-log` needs to be
  specified now (#400).

### Fixed

- Spans entered twice on the same thread sometimes being completely exited when
  the more deeply-nested entry is exited (#361)
