+
+ Apache Log4j2 2.0-alpha1 RELEASE NOTES
+
+The Apache Log4j 2 team is pleased to announce the Log4j2 2.0-alpha1 release!
+
+Apache Log4j2 2.0-alpha1 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.
+
+Rewrite of Log4j
+
+Changes in this version include:
+
+New features:
+o LOG4J2-60: Added ability to filter on the appender-ref by adding either a
level or a filter. Thanks to Shane Kelly.
+o LOG4J2-54: Support existing ability to modify any of an event's fields
+o LOG4J2-53: Better control over timestamp
+o LOG4J2-32: Create a Layout and SyslogAppender that support RFC 5424.
+o LOG4J2-31: The Logging API should support a Message object
+o LOG4J2-17: Provide enhanced logger filtering support.
+
+Fixed Bugs:
+o LOG4J2-56: Level.toLevel would throw an IllegalArgumentException instead of
returning the default value. Thanks to John Owen Atala.
+o LOG4J2-51: Remove LoggerContext support for custom logger factories. All
Loggers returned
+ by LoggerContext should be compatibile and of the same type. Thanks to
John Vasileff.
+o LOG4J2-50: Make sure all application facing log methods use their own FQCN.
This patch
+ resolves a unit test failure for the %C pattern when using the
Category logger. Thanks to John Vasileff.
+
+Changes:
+o LOG4J2-19: Provide looser coupling of PatternConverters
+o LOG4J2-15: Provide a "Proxy" Appender to support lazy initialization of
Appenders.
