ChangeLog for LogKit 1.0.1

Fixed spelling in the documentation files.[PD]
Fix javadoc warnings from "@returns" tags used instead of "@return".[PD]
added new constructors to produce better readable file names in the File Strategy classes.[GP]
Added fixes to AsyncLogTarget: Make sure that the LogTarget delegated to cannot disrupt thread by throwing an exception. Remove uneeded step from documentation.[PD]
Many improvements to PatternFormatter including: Made it possible to specify the format of date in the auxilliary parameter of the format for dates. Cached the date and DateFormatter objects so that they are not created every time a LogEvent is formatted. Added a getRTime() method to format relative time. Just delegates to getTime at the moment for backwards compatability.[PD]
Made sure that additivity is transitive (in Logger) - even when you only inherit your loggers from your parent.[PD]
Added isPriorityEnabled() method to Logger to determine if specified priority is enabled.[PD]
Various build improvements.[LM]
