Re: [SPAM] Re: 2024.1.6 rc2

TLDR: More stuff is logged using a new method. Running the Sentry SDK in
Debug mode shows this happening live in your console, but because not as
much was logged before and was done so in a different way, you just never
saw it.


I have checked on Sentry with your UUID that you sent me, and indeed, it
seems that yours has been running as a Dev build for quite some time.

2024.1.6 brought some changes to what is logged and how. Unfortunately,
there was a *slight* oversight which is resulting in everything you see in
your fgfs.log, plus more, being logged, and you are seeing that happen live
because Sentry is in Debug mode and therefore repeating what it is logging
essentially. For a bit of context for those interested, in the last 14 days
we have received 679 million logs. 75% of these are categorised as debug,
which for the most part are just noise such as `Took 0ms to update layer
WXR` or `setting listener #611 in
C:/Users/*****/FlightGear/Downloads/fgdata_2024_1/Nasal/canvas/tooltip.nas:109`,
but still count towards our quota. And these numbers have been reached with
only approximately 50% of users who have Sentry enabled and are using
2024.1.6 (or nightlies), which is the first version to use the new logging
system.

There will have to be some sort of change with 2024.1.7 as we are
struggling to handle the amount of logging right now, but exactly how much
we will log or discard is yet to be worked out. There's some very valuable
stuff coming to us from both a development/debug point of view, and also
analytical, and once we iron out the teething troubles, I will be looking
into ways we can present some of this data to users in an easy to read way.

If you enable debug level logging in FG, you will actually see those same
lines logged in your fgfs.log by FG. But by default they are not shown as
they are too low of a priority message to show with the default logging
level of Info.

Hopefully that helps clear it up a little for you
