v1.2.0 - Fully Generic Logger

🎯 MAJOR RELEASE: 100% Generic Logger

⚠️ BREAKING CHANGES

• Minimal default config with only 'core' component
• Projects must now define custom components in logger-config.json
• All legacy hardcoded components removed
• Core component rename: 'cacp' → 'core' throughout functional code

✨ NEW FEATURES

• 100% Generic design works with any JavaScript project
• Dynamic alias generation (camelCase from kebab-case)
• Smart component auto-creation with sensible defaults
• Enhanced config normalization
• Generic examples for modern component types

🗑️ REMOVED

• 10 hardcoded legacy components (soundcloud, youtube, site-detector, websocket, popup, background, priority-manager, settings, test)
• Project-specific logic and assumptions
• Hardcoded aliases replaced with dynamic generation

📚 MIGRATION REQUIRED
Existing projects need to define components in logger-config.json:

{
  "components": {
    "core": { "emoji": "🎯", "level": "info" },
    "api": { "emoji": "🌐", "level": "debug" },
    "ui": { "emoji": "🎨", "level": "info" }
  }
}

The logger will auto-create missing components, but explicit definition is recommended.

v1.1.3 - Stability Improvements

🔧 Patch Release: Browser Compatibility & Stability

🐛 FIXES

• Fixed browser compatibility issues

v1.1.0 - Major API Enhancement (82% Boilerplate Reduction)

🚀 MAJOR API ENHANCEMENT: Project Simplification

✨ NEW FEATURES

• Static Singleton Pattern: JSGLogger.getInstance() with auto-initialization
• Auto-Discovery Components: Both camelCase and kebab-case access patterns
• Non-Destructive Error Handling: Missing components log but don't break apps
• Built-in Performance Logging: JSGLogger.logPerformance() static utility
• Component Auto-Creation: Missing components created with sensible defaults

📊 IMPACT

• 82% Boilerplate Reduction: Projects reduced from 220+ lines to ~40 lines
• Zero-Config Integration: Single getInstance() call vs complex initialization
• Enhanced Developer Experience: Auto-discovery, performance utilities, graceful errors

🔧 API IMPROVEMENTS

• Static methods available on JSGLogger class
• Eager getter creation during initialization
• Both naming conventions supported automatically
• Real-world validation in production projects

💻 USAGE

import JSGLogger from '@crimsonsunset/jsg-logger';

const logger = JSGLogger.getInstance({
  configPath: './logger-config.json'
});

// Auto-discovery works immediately
logger.components.apiHandler();
logger.components.uiComponents();

This release represents a massive simplification for consuming projects while maintaining all advanced features.
