+
+- Add test/corpus/*.log files (accidentally excluded) so that test suite

+
+## bunyan 0.8.0
+
+- [pull #21] Bunyan loggers now re-emit `fs.createWriteStream` error events.
+  By github.com/EvanOxfeld. See "examples/handle-fs-error.js" and
+  "test/error-event.js" for details.

+        log.on('error', function (err, stream) {
