Upgrade to 1.2.4

[Joe Wood]

Hi,

I know you won't want to upgrade log4c in TT, but for the next release in October could we please move to the latest version 1.2.4, see sourceforge project page.

I'd like local time on my log messages not UTC. I could put a wrapper around the text message but it's not quite right.

Thanks

Just in case anybody else wants local time in the current version, I've attached two files to provide this facility.

You must call init_dated_local() prior to calling log4c_init(), e.g.

    if (init_dated_local() || log4c_init()) {
        err(EXIT_FAILURE, "log4c_init() failed");
    }

Compile layout_type_dated_local.c as normal, e.g

   gcc -c layout_type_dated_local.c

Link along these lines

   gcc -o a.out <project_files> layout_type_dated_local.o -llib4c

Use via log4crc e.g.

     <appender name="stdout" type="stream" layout="dated_local"/>

That's it.

Looks like it took some time, but log4c 1.2.4-2 is now available in the upcoming Ubuntu Eoan.
