Any ideas what I might have done?  
on node-red v 1.0.1  
node.log() in my function nodes doesn't produce anything in my output window ?

node.warn() works.

As per documentation:

> The `warn` and `error` messages also get sent to the flow editor debug tab.

`.log()` will only show on the console/command line/node red log.

Oh, that I didn't expect. I was, of course, looking at the debug tab.

Thank you.
