log4j 1.2.12 added support for the Trace level and exposed Trace methods in the Logger API. There seems to have been a strong request in the log4j community for this feature (or at least strongly advocated by a few users). Ceki was keen on another new feature he called 'domains' (which has not been implemented and as far as I can see is not explained or documented anywhere) which would remove the need for adding in extra levels to the core code. I have not seen a great deal of demand for a Trace level from the log4net community, but I have seen a lot of requests for custom levels (all different). So I think our focus should be on enabling custom levels to be implemented by users more easily. This may require some examination of the way we work with levels and some additional documentation. The current Trace extension serves as the best end user documentation we have on how to build a custom level. Also there may need to be a debate as to the relative ordering of the Debug and Trace levels. In log4j Trace is a lower level than Debug. I suspect that this is because Trace was added later as a fine grained Debug, 'Trace' was chosen as a convenient name. In the .NET System.Diagnostics namespace the Trace class is enabled for both debug and release builds but the Debug class is only enabled for debug builds, so Trace is effectively a higher level than Debug here.
