Hmm, tough call on the deprecation.
Pros for deprecation:
I think DebugLog_Lib() works in all cases.
Can easily store the Log in retain.
Can easily have multiple logs.

Cons for deprecation:
but DebugLog() is easier to use if you just want to write a log (and you have control over the application Library Manager).

I would be happy to deprecate it though, in favour of the more universal DebugLog_Lib(). In which case.. we should rename the new function to DebugLog2(). Or, if you are happy to make a breaking change, simply replace it.

I have no attachment to the old implementation, so others may feel unkindly if we broke it for them.

Great work! Will check and merge.

Merge Request:
Please review/accept this change. I have added support for using this from a library, as libraries do not have access to parameters. I have also added a "unit test". In this change, I also made the old call (DebugLog()) just a wrapper for the new call (DebugLog_Lib()) to make future changes easier.

 # DebugLogger
-CodesysV23 version by Sebastian Rau: https://github.com/SebastianRau/Codesys2-DebugMessages
+Goal:
+   A quick and easy "replacement" of the Device Log, implemented as a pure software solution.

-# Adds debug messages to a global array (message Queue) in your application
-Use case:
-    
-   Add/ save debug messages (or any other info) in a global message Queue
-
+Use case:   
+   Add debug messages (or other info) in a pure software global message Queue.
+   Advantage of this approach over the Device Log is that this solution is easier to implement and one has greater control over the global message Queue.
+   The global message Queue can be accessed via HMI while the device log cannot (at least not this easy)
+   
 Usage:
-
    Include the .Library in your project,
    (optional) write time of the Event to stDebugInformation.dtActualTime := SOME_DT_VAR;
    Call function DebugLog(...) to add a Message to the Ringbuffer.
