compatibility with
+Log4j 1.x is provided through the log4j-1.2-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 LOG4J2-28: Added PropertiesRewritePolicy and ability to define properties
on a Logger.
-o LOG4J2-55: Added ability to configure from an InputSource.
+o Added Log4j 2 to SLF4J adapter.
+o LOG4J2-131: Add SMTPAppender. Thanks to Scott Severtson.
+o Added hostName and contextName to property map.
+o Add MessageFormatMessage and FormattedMessage.
+o LOG4J2-134: Use %red, %white, %blue, and so on in the console appender.
+o LOG4J2-133: Allow custom message creation via a message factory.
+o Added Flume Appender samples.
Fixed Bugs:
-o LOG4J2-108: Fix NullPointerException in ClassLoaderContextSelector when no
class is returned from
- the SecurityManager.
-o LOG4J2-107: PatternParser was not properly handling adjacent nested options
-o LOG4J2-95: Add support for loading plugins inside the OSGi bundle.
-o LOG4J2-103: The LogEvent was wrapping a ThrowableProxy with another
ThrowableProxy when deserializing. Thanks to Das Archive.
-o LOG4J2-104: Convert LogManager binding to use "regular" java properties
instead of XML properties to workaround a
- bug in Oracle's xmlparserv2 jar.
-o LOG4J2-102: The Facility value was being improperly calculated. Thanks to
Emanuele Colombo.
-o LOG4J2-101: A NullPointerException would occur if no format value was
passed to the SyslogAppender. Thanks to Emanuele Colombo.
-o LOG4J2-99: MapRewritePolicy had an extra call to putAll that caused updates
to behave like adds. Thanks to Das Archive.
-o Avoid NPE when duplicate LoggerContextFactorys are present. Allow factories
to specify a weight to allow
- real implementations to outrank test implementations. Provide a simple
default LoggerContextFactory.
-o LOG4J2-97: Added several missing classes and methods for Log4j 1.x
compatibility.
-o LOG4J2-94: Interpolator was not stripping Lookup key separator when trying
to locate the default value for a variable. Thanks to Denis Treskunov.
-o Log4j 1.2 Category.forcedLog was wrapping the message with an ObjectMessage
even if the parameter was an
- ObjectMessage.
+o LOG4J2-152: RollingFileAppender's FileRenameAction was throwing a
NullPointerException if no directory was specified
+ on the target file name. Thanks to Remko Popma.
+o LOG4J2-150: Convert all System.getProperty calls to use PropertiesUtil to
suppress SecurityExceptions.
+o LOG4J2-147: ThreadContextMapFilter was matching on the key instead of the
value of the key. Thanks to William Burns.
+o Allow FlumeAvroManager to initialize even if it cannot connect to an agent.
+o LOG4J2-149: SMTPAppender will only cache filtered events. Thanks to Scott
Severtson.
+o LOG4J2-145: Add missing serial version IDs.
+o LOG4J2-144: NullPointerException in RFC5424Layout.
+o LOG4J2-143: MessagePatternConverter now returns "null" if the log message
is null.
+o LOG4J2-142: Serialized LogEvents were not reset in the output stream
causing them to deserialize incorrectly.
+o LOG4J2-139: Fix null pointer exception in SocketAppender if no protocol is
specified. The protocol will default
+ to TCP for the SocketAppender and UDP for the SyslogAppender.
+o LOG4J2-140: Typo in documentation of SocketAppender. Thanks to Joern
Huxhorn.
+o LOG4J2-137: Fix hang in Dumbster SMTP test server.
+o LOG4J2-130: PatternLayout should format throwables without requiring a
converter.
+o LOG4J2-135: BaseConfiguration does not close the first appender. Thanks to
Ingo Feltes.

+o LOG4J2-119: A broken socket connection would cause the TCPSocketManager to
continuously reconnect.
+o LOG4J2-123: The example for ThreadContextMapFilter was incorrect. Thanks to
Olivier Lamy.
+o LOG4J2-116: File renaming was using the wrong date value. Enhanced

+ highest index as well as lowest.
+o LOG4J2-115: ThreadContext Map elements with null values are now ignored
when constructing a Flume event and in the
+ RFC5424 Layout.
+o LOG4J2-113: StructuredDataFilter createFilter was annotated with PluginAttr
instead of PluginElement for the
+ KeyValuePairs.
+o LOG4J2-114: StructuredDataMessage was validating the length of the values
in the event Map instead of the lengths
+ of the keys. Thanks to Arkin Yetis.
