Sorry for my inaccurate question. Yes I meant hashing in that way, because of 
the fingerprints nobody should be able to modificate the logs. So I can find 
this in the 1.0.x branch, ok thanks.

And regardless of the hashing-feature I want also regex the logs against 
specific patterns. Do the 1.0.x branch know regexps?
