## Bug Fixes
- `target`: defines the log level and on which part of the engine you want to apply it. Must be a string formatted as `code_part=log_level`. Omit `code_part=` to set a single log level for the whole strram. Valid values for log level are: `trace,` `debug,` `info,` `warn,` `error`, or `off`
