Add a new SettingUpdated event for Epicea Monitor.

hernanmd commented 2 weeks ago

This PR introduces a simple SettingUpdated event object to support logging for the new settings browser.

Notes

It uses the Epicea package to record events and get notifications.
Setting update events are not serialized using STON since each setting is recorded, and some instance variables store blocks which are not yet serializable by STON writer.

Hi hernan I was wondering what is the scenario that you have in mind? Why log setting changes?

Sure, here are some use cases:

When users encounter issues, logs provide a historical record of changes, so we can identify what settings were modified leading up to the error.
We can replicate the environment and conditions under which a problem occurred.
Understanding user behavior and preferences over time.
It can act as a form of version control for configurations, allowing users to revert to previous settings if needed.
We can analyze how specific settings affect performance metrics over time. This is particularly useful in optimizing IDE performance
For UX we can offer personalized experiences based on past behavior
