Re: Log file readability

You are right, there's room for improvement in the log, we'll dedicate some time for it in the 1.5 branch.
Current log is just the output of the program, that's why it contains decoration, as it is thought to be monitored with [b]tail -f[/b], you have an independent properly formatted log for errors (error.log)
