Item9855: Debug log written to bin or not written at all if DebugFileName not set

If $Foswiki::cfg{Log}{Implementation} and $Foswiki::cfg{DebugFileName} are not set, the debug log shows up in bin instead of $Foswiki::cfg{Log}{Dir} or working/logs.

If $Foswiki::cfg{Log}{Implementation} = 'Foswiki::Logger::Compatibility' is set and $Foswiki::cfg{DebugFileName} is not set, the debug file does not show up at all.

While the first part seems to be fixed, the second issue (Compatibility mode) still exists.

I don't think this can happen in 1.2. The Logger code assigns a default filename if one is not set:

    $defaultLogDir = "$Foswiki::cfg{DataDir}/" if $Foswiki::cfg{DataDir};
...
    $log = $Foswiki::cfg{DebugFileName}
              || $defaultLogDir . 'debug%DATE%.txt';
        }
