Apache Log4j 2.1 released
The Apache Log4j 2 team is pleased to announce the Log4j 2.1 release! Apache log4j is a well known framework for logging application behavior. Log4j 2 is an upgrade to Log4j that provides significant improvements over its predecessor, Log4j 1.x, and provides many of the improvements available in Logback while fixing some inherent problems in Logback's architecture. This is the fourth GA release which contains several bugfixes and new features. There are two new Maven artifacts in this release: log4j-jul and log4j-iostreams. Both components are API-based with optional Core features.
