Version 1.1.0

Version 1.1.0 introduces separate projects for Logback and Log4j support, and a common set of shared classes. To use Logback, add the security-logging-logback dependency to pom.xml.

This release also includes:

• Filters for security events and classified info
• Modularized MDCFilter
• CEF layouts
• CRLF Converter to protect against log forgery
• Much improved test coverage
• Better documentation
