2. Some log levels have new identifiers:

• WARNING is now WARN
• SEVERE is now ERROR

3. Parameters in logging message are inserted using placeholders.

4. Additional parameters are logged without square brackets:

• Before: 2024/01/13 14:53:30.606 INFO info [key1=value1, key2=value2]
• Now: 2024/01/13 14:53:30.606 INFO info key1=value1 key2=value2

5. The resulting failure exception is logged with timestamp and level:

2024/01/20 07:17:25.105 ERROR Exception in thread "Getdown" 
java.lang.RuntimeException: m.missing_appbase
  at io.github.bekoenig.getdown.data.Application.initBase(Application.java:655)
  at ...

6. Process outputs are passed directly to logging

7. On enabled debugging mode (debug=true), standard outputs from process are logged at debug level
