logger 0.4.0 (2024-10-19)

A lot of internal code quality improvements and standardization,
improved documentations, modernized tests, performance speedups.

New features

• logo 😻 (#196, @hadley)
• computing metadata lazily, so various expensive computations are only performed if you actually add them to the log (#105, @hadley)
• log_appender(), log_layout() and log_formatter() now check that you are calling them with a function, and return the previously set value (#170, @hadley)
• new function to return number of log indices (#194, @WurmPeter)
• appender_async is now using mirai instead of a custom background process and queue system (#214, @hadley @shikokuchuo)
