| Apache Log4j 2.0-beta3 RELEASE NOTES |
| |
| The Apache Log4j 2 team is pleased to announce the Log4j 2.0-beta3 release! |
| |
| Apache Log4j 2.0-beta3 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 enhancements |
| |
| Changes in this version include: |
| |
| New features: |
| o LOG4J2-28: Added PropertiesRewritePolicy and ability to define properties on a Logger. |
| o LOG4J2-55: Added ability to configure from an InputSource. |
| |
| Fixed Bugs: |
| o LOG4J2-108: Fix NullPointerException in ClassLoaderContextSelector when no class is returned from |
| the SecurityManager. |
| o LOG4J2-107: PatternParser was not properly handling adjacent nested options |
| o LOG4J2-95: Add support for loading plugins inside the OSGi bundle. |
| o LOG4J2-103: The LogEvent was wrapping a ThrowableProxy with another ThrowableProxy when deserializing. Thanks to Das Archive. |
| o LOG4J2-104: Convert LogManager binding to use "regular" java properties instead of XML properties to workaround a |
| bug in Oracle's xmlparserv2 jar. |
| o LOG4J2-102: The Facility value was being improperly calculated. Thanks to Emanuele Colombo. |
| o LOG4J2-101: A NullPointerException would occur if no format value was passed to the SyslogAppender. Thanks to Emanuele Colombo. |
| o LOG4J2-99: MapRewritePolicy had an extra call to putAll that caused updates to behave like adds. Thanks to Das Archive. |
| o Avoid NPE when duplicate LoggerContextFactorys are present. Allow factories to specify a weight to allow |
| real implementations to outrank test implementations. Provide a simple default LoggerContextFactory. |
| o LOG4J2-97: Added several missing classes and methods for Log4j 1.x compatibility. |
| o LOG4J2-94: Interpolator was not stripping Lookup key separator when trying to locate the default value for a variable. Thanks to Denis Treskunov. |
| o Log4j 1.2 Category.forcedLog was wrapping the message with an ObjectMessage even if the parameter was an |
| ObjectMessage. |
| |
| Changes: |
| o LOG4J2-105: Add ability to customize the names of the Levels in the LevelPatternConverter. |
| o LOG4J2-85: Add ThreadContext.push(String format, Object... args) |
| o Created combined jar to combine API and Core contents for users who only want the Log4j implementation. |
| o LOG4J2-87: Build pdf of user's guide. |
| o LOG4J2-29: Added font and fontSize parameters to HTMLLayout. Replace newlines in message with br tag. |
