<h2><a name="Apache_log4net_Project_History"></a>Apache log4net&#x2122; Project History</h2>
<p>
The log4net project was started by <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.neoworks.com">Neoworks Limited</a>
in June 2001. It was created as an internal project within Neoworks to port the Apache
log4j&#x2122; code base to the Microsoft&#xae; .NET Framework. The code base was initially branched
from a pre-alpha log4j 1.2.
</p>
<p>
In July 2001 a <a class="externalLink" href="http://sourceforge.net">Sourceforge</a> project was started
and log4net was published under the Apache Software License. The first public release of
log4net was made in September 2001. A further 10 releases were made on the sourceforge
site.
</p>
<p>
In December 2003 the Apache Logging Services project was created.
In February 2004 log4net was donated by Neoworks to the Apache Software Foundation
to become a member of the Logging Services project.
</p>
<p>
In February 2007 log4net graduated from the Apache Incubator project to become a
fully fledged Apache project. Apache log4net is a subproject of the Logging Services project.
