[TYPO3-dev] Status of "devlog" extension

[Georg Großberger]

Hi

I would be interested in this. The devlog extension is something I use 
on almost every project, but it needs some love. To output more useable 
debug data instead of a huge array that can't handle objects is 
something I really miss. A function similar to the Debug helper of flow 
and extbase would be nice. Also automatically log additional infos like 
memory useage or PHP runtime would be nice, not to mention the new 
logging API. My mind is already flooded with ideas, I will try to create 
a draft in the next couple days.
The question is: how much backwards - compatibility should be given. If 
the 2.x branch is going to be maintained for some time, we could use all 
the latest features.

Regards,
Georg
