Changed the "suppressExceptions" configuration attribute for all Appenders to "ignoreExceptions" to avoid
confusion with Java 7 suppressed exceptions. Also renamed the Appender#isExceptionSuppressed() method to
Appender#ignoreExceptions() to avoid the same confusion. All Appenders by default internally log and then ignore
exceptions encountered while logging. Setting "ignoreExceptions" to "false" on an Appender causes it to allow
exceptions to propagate to the caller. You must set "ignoreExceptions" to "false" for Appenders you are wrapping
in the Failover Appender.
</action>
<action dev="nickwilliams" type="update">
Changed the (relatively new) PatternLayout configuration attribute "suppressExceptions" to
"alwaysWriteExceptions" to more correctly indicate what it does. As such, the meaning of this attribute has
reversed (previous "true"s should become "false"s, and vice versa). Since this was an undocumented attribute up
until now, it's unlikely this change will affect any users.
