The Logging Services project is pleased to announce the release of
Apache log4j 1.2.15.
Apache log4j 1.2.15 is a maintenance release of log4j 1.2 (http://
logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2).
The list of fixed issues is available at http://logging.apache.org/
log4j/1.2/changes-report.html.
The release may be downloaded from http://logging.apache.org/log4j/
1.2/download.html
and is also available in the master Maven repository (groupId: log4j,
artifactId: log4j, version: 1.2.15).
The extras companion for log4j 1.2 (http://logging.apache.org/log4j/
companions/extras)
provides extra features to log4j 1.2 users and should work with log4j
1.2.9 and later.
The companion may work with earlier versions of log4j 1.2
but that has not been tested. Features provided by the extras
companion include: parameterized
logging (with either java.text.MessageFormat or log4j 1.3 patterns),
Regular expression filters, rolling file appender with replaceable
triggering and file
naming policies and an enhanced pattern layout with support for
longer pattern names,
more abbreviation options, and time zone specification for date fields.
The release may be downloaded from
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/companions/extras/download.html
and is also available in the master Maven repository (groupId: log4j,
artifactId: apache-log4j-extras,
version 1.0).
With the availability of log4j 1.2.15 and the extras companion, users
of the log4j 1.3
alpha versions are encouraged to plan to migrate to log4j 1.2.15 with
the appropriate
companions or to track and contribute to the log4j 2.0 development
effort.
Development of log4j 1.3 is abandoned and no additional development
or releases
are anticipated.
