 ## SUMMARY
 
+Removed the `sys.print` because it is obsolete
 A simple logging library that combines the simple APIs of Ruby's logger.rb and browser-js console.log()
 
 ## USAGE
 
 A logger has 5 different levels of logging in a specific order:
 
     'fatal', 'error', 'warn', 'info', 'debug'
-    
-Each of these log levels has its own method on the logging instance. You can set the maximum log level on a logger at runtime.

 By default, a logger writes to STDOUT, but given a writeable file path, it will log directly to a file.
