# [3.0.0](https://github.com/medikoo/log4/compare/v2.0.0...v3.0.0) (2018-06-01)

### BREAKING CHANGES

-   Predefined levels are no longer accessible at `logger.predefinedLevels` property.
    Instead they should be required from `log4/levels`
-   For simplicity and to avoid compliance issues,
    only predefined levels are allowed (it's no
    longer possible to create custom named levels)
-   `enable()` and `disable()` methods no logger return own logger.
    Instead they return plain object with `restore` function, that allows to restore to previous state
-   `getNs` method has been renamed to
    `get`
-   `ns` property has been renamed to
    `namespace`
-   `nsTokens` property has been renamed to
    `namespaceTokens`
-   Emitter is not longer accessible at logger.emiter
    Instead it should be required from `log4/emitter`
-   `getAllLevels` method has been renamed to
    `getAllInitializedLevels`
-   `hasLevel` method has been renamed to
    `isLevelInitialized`
-   `hasNs` method has been renamed to
    `isNamespaceInitialized`
-   New setupVisibility accepts:

    -   `levelThreshold` - on its basis it's decided logs for which levels are
        enabled by default

    -   `debugNamespaceToken` - List of namespaces to be exposed for
        levels below threshold

-   `getLevel` method was removed. Use direct property names:
    `log.error` instead of `log.getLevel("error")`
-   `getAllNs` method has been renamed to
    `getAllInitializedNamespaces`

### Features
