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.

Changes in this version include:
New features:
-o Added AsynchAppender.
+o LOG4J2-35: Add interval and modulate options to TimeBasedTriggeringPolicy
to allow more fine-grained control of
+ when file rolling should occur.
+o LOG4J2-58: Add support for filtering packages from stack traces.
+o LOG4J2-84: If system property "disableThreadContextStack" is set pushes to
the ThreadContext will be ignored. If
+ system property "disableThreadContext" is set both puts and pushes
will be ignored.
+o LOG4J2-83: If system property "disableThreadContextMap" is set puts to the
ThreadContext will be ignored. If
+ system property "disableThreadContext" is set both puts and pushes
will be ignored.
+o Add support for ANSI colors by adding the highlight and style pattern
converters. Fix pattern
+ parsing to allow nested patterns.
+o Allow the status logging to be directed to stderr or to a file.
+o Add getFormats to MultiformatMessage and allow StructuredDataMessage to
format as XML.
Fixed Bugs:
-o LOG4J-81: PatternLayout was not honoring format modifiers.
-o Created web module to allow web applications to include the Log4j context
listener in WEB-INF/lib even if
- Log4j is in the container's class path. Allow locating the
LoggerContext to include the ClassLoader. Updated
- the Loader utility to always choose the child ClassLoader. Verified in
Jboss 5 and Tomcat.
-o LOG4J2-82: MarkerFilter called MarkerManager.getMarker causing the Marker
to be created during the processing of the
- configuration. This prevents the application from creating the Marker
with any parents. MarkerWrapper in
- SLF4J-impl was getting a ClassCastException in instanceOf because the
Marker isn't a MarkerWrapper.
-o LOG4J2-80: Allow Log4j 2 to be used as the implementation with SLF4J and
SLF4J's jcl-over-slf4j by adding filtering
- to the log method in SLF4JLogger. Thanks to Oliver Lamy.
-o LOG4J2-78: LogFactoryImpl.setAttribute in the Commons Logging bridge got a
NullPointerException when passed a null value.
- It will now remove the attribute.
-o LOG4J2-77: RoutingAppender was calling the stop method for each of its
referenced Appenders and was calling
- the stop method of the default Appender a second time. It will now
only call the stop method of
- Appenders it creates.
-o LOG4J2-76: RewriteAppender was calling the stop method of the referenced
appender causing the referenced appender's
- manager to have its use count decremented too many times.
-o LOG4J2-74: Logger.error(Marker, Message, Throwable) was internally using
Level.TRACE.
-o LOG4J2-75: Enhanced Log4jContextListener to accept a configuration file
location. Modified FileConfigurationMonitor
- to monitor files configured that way. Fixed other reconfiguration
related bugs. Tested in JBoss and
- Tomcat.
-o LOG4J2-72: NullPointerException in RollingFileManager when filePattern does
not cause the file to be compressed.
-o LOG4J2-71: FileRenameAction did not create the parent directories of the
archive files causing the rollover to fail.
+o DefaultConfiguration was not starting the Console Appender.
+o LOG4J2-92: Converted DynamicThresholdFilter to use KeyValuePair. Fixed bugs
in the Map-based filters
+ to allow declaration of multiple values for a key to match the
documentation.
+o LOG4J2-88: Many logging methods in AbstractLogger were set to an incorrect
logging level. catching was
+ using the THROWING marker and was set to debug instead of error.
+o LOG4J2-91: Log4j 1.2 adapter's Category class was missing 3 log methods.
+o LOG4J2-84: If the ThreadContext stack is empty the LogEvent will contain a
null value to reduce the overhead of
+ creating log events and in the size of the serialized object. Changed
the ThreadContext stack to use
+ a custom stack interface instead of java.util.Stack as that class is
overly heavy. This change will
+ cause an API incompatibility.
+o LOG4J2-83: If the ThreadContext map is empty the LogEvent will contain a
null value to reduce the overhead of creating
+ log events and in the size of the serialized object.
+o LOG4J2-90: Add documentation on client vs server mode to performance page.
+o Move variable substitution from PatternLayout to appropriate converters to
improve performance.
Changes:
-o Update the versions of SLF4J and Logback.
+o Made ParameterizedMessage, StringFormattedMessage and ThreadDumpMessage
immutable. LocalizedMessage is
+ immutable except that it will be updated with the logger name when it
is added to the LogEvent.
