| Apache Log4j 2.0-alpha2 RELEASE NOTES |
| |
| The Apache Log4j 2 team is pleased to announce the Log4j 2.0-alpha2 release! |
| |
| Apache Log4j 2.0-alpha2 requires a minimum of Java 5 to build and run. Basic compatibility with |
| Log4j 1.x is provided through the log4j12-api component, however it does not implement some of the |
| very implementation specific classes and methods. The package names and Maven groupId have been changed to |
| org.apache.logging.log4j to avoid any conflicts with log4j 1.x. |
| |
| Bug fixes and minor enhancements |
| |
| Changes in this version include: |
| |
| New features: |
| o LOG4J2-70: Add getLogger(Class) to LogManager. |
| o LOG4J2-69: Allow Flume agents to be embedded into the Flume Appender. |
| o LOG4J2-68: Add support for formatting using String.format(). |
| o LOG4J2-67: Allow components besides core to create a PluginMap for faster plugin loading and not |
| having to specify the plugin package in the configuration. |
| |
| Fixed Bugs: |
| o LOG4J2-64: Fix compilation problems in Java 7. |
| o LOG4J2-65: Allow variable substitution on the configuration attributes and on the root log level. |
