I created a package to extend the logging capabilities of Upp. I encountered a situation where I wanted to use custom log files for release programs to log Successful and Failed transfers. It is built as a singleton with lazy creation. I built it with an archiving capability so it uses Upp bz2 package to archive logs older than a user-defined time frame. There are special cases for debug and release logs so that the archiving and dating capabilities can also apply to them. Finally, there is some Topic++ documentation for it, but the in-code documentation in the header file is best. Let me know what you think.

Simple Example:

void QuickExample(){
	// Logger singleton instance created automatically and lazily on first use.	
	UppLog::LOGGER->BeginLogs();
        UppLog::LOGGER->EnableCout(UppLog::RELEASE);
	UppLog::UPPLOG(UppLog::BOTH, "This message is sent to both log files.");
	UppLog::UPPLOG(UppLog::DEBUG, "This message is sent to debug log.");
	UppLog::UPPLOG(UppLog::RELEASE, "This message is sent to release log (and Cout()).");
	
	UppLog::LOGGER->CreateLog("Successes");
	UppLog::LOGGER->CreateLog("Failures", "C:\\failures");
	UppLog::UPPLOG("Successes", "My successful transaction message.");
	UppLog::UPPLOG("Failures", "My failed transaction message.");	
};
