The changes since version 1.5.6:
- All logging now goes to LOG_ERR, because some systems split error, info and debug messages into separate files, which repeatedly caused extra efforts to find out when incomplete log excerpts were attached to problem reports in the past.
should this change be permanent, configurable or will it only apply for the developer releases?
I vote for a configurable solution. Softdevice has such a mode (not realized for all messages but ..) which allows some kind of messages to be turned off (info, debug and trace). Messages can be written to stdout/stderr or to a configureable file with optionally current PID appended.
In my opinion, it is a benefit to redirect different log levels to different files for normal operation. In case of a bug, a commandline/setup option could select this behaviour to produce full logs.
