| |
| <p>The <a href="HISTORY.txt"><b>project history</b></a> gives a |
| brief summary of changes and additions. Users frequently |
| report bugs that are solved in newer versions of log4j. Please |
| have a look at the history file before asking for help. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>The project's official URL is <a |
| href="http://logging.apache.org/log4j">http://logging.apache.org/log4j</a>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>Many thanks to all the log4j users who keep sending us input |
| and sometimes even praise for our collective effort. The first |
| ancestor of log4j was written for the E.U. sponsored <a |
| href="http://www.semper.org">SEMPER</a> project. N. Asokan, |
| Ceki Gülcü and Michael Steiner came up with the idea |
| of hierarchical loggers back in 1996. Their idea is still at the |
| heart of log4j. The package was considerably improved over the |
| years at the <a href="http://www.zurich.ibm.com">IBM Zurich |
| Research Laboratory</a>. However, log4j is no longer associated |
| nor supported by IBM. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p>Special thanks to M. Niksch from ZRL for his assistance on |
| many large and small matters. The Apache members, Pier |
| Fumagalli and Sam Ruby in particular, have been extremely |
| helpful in easing the move to Apache. |
| </p> |

| <p>The log4j logo was designed and kindly donated by Cyberlab SA of Switzerland. |
