ChangeLog

0.4.0

1. Remove multi-line prefix (v0.3.1) for the sake of efficiency
2. User can define any color of the message by .(color) format, but it only works after the :(label) expression, e.g. :level.green :msg.grey
3. The :msg flag now support numbers for express the message of the correct index, e.g. :1.green :2.grey, and you will get an green 'hello' and a grey 'world' by using logger.info('hello', 'world'). Remember, the index start from 0.
