disables Log4j's auto-initialization in
+ Servlet 3.0+ web applications.

Changes:
-o LOG4J2-317: Renamed FastFileAppender and FastRollingFileAppender to
RandomAccessFileAppender
- and RollingRandomAccessFileAppender. Configurations using the
Fast(Rolling)File element
- no longer work and should be modified to use the
(Rolling)RandomAccessFile element.
-o Changed the "suppressExceptions" configuration attribute for all Appenders
to "ignoreExceptions" to avoid
- confusion with Java 7 suppressed exceptions. Also renamed the
Appender#isExceptionSuppressed() method to
- Appender#ignoreExceptions() to avoid the same confusion. All Appenders
by default internally log and then ignore
- exceptions encountered while logging. Setting "ignoreExceptions" to
"false" on an Appender causes it to allow
- exceptions to propagate to the caller. You must set "ignoreExceptions"
to "false" for Appenders you are wrapping
- in the Failover Appender.
-o Changed the (relatively new) PatternLayout configuration attribute
"suppressExceptions" to
- "alwaysWriteExceptions" to more correctly indicate what it does. As
such, the meaning of this attribute has
- reversed (previous "true"s should become "false"s, and vice versa).
Since this was an undocumented attribute up
- until now, it's unlikely this change will affect any users.
-o LOG4J2-355: Add support for multiple SD-ELEMENTs in a RFC 5424 syslog
message. Thanks to Tibor Benke.
-o Cleaned up tests and cleared up documentation for the JPA appender following
the resolution of EclipseLink
- issue #412454.
-o LOG4J2-318: Allow shutdown hook to be disabled in the configuration.
-o LOG4J2-312: XML layout improvements (compact vs. pretty, namespace,
namespace prefix, root element).
-o LOG4J2-388: Update Java Mail dependency to 1.5.0 from 1.4.7.
-o LOG4J2-325: Update JDBC tests to use H2 database 1.3.173 from 1.3.172.
-o LOG4J2-366: Update commons-logging to 1.1.3 from 1.1.1.
-o LOG4J2-390: Update HSQLDB dependency to 2.3.0 from 2.2.9.
-o LOG4J2-308: Clarified which library versions were used in Async Loggers
performance test.
-o LOG4J2-307: Updated Async Loggers' LMAX Disruptor library from 3.0.1 to
3.2.0.
-o LOG4J2-306: Update JSON Jackson library to 2.2.2 from 2.2.1.
-o LOG4J2-387: Update Jackson dependency to 1.9.13 from 1.9.11.
-o Improved site by adding quick jump-off page and menu for Javadoc links for
all components.
+o Renamed the org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.db.nosql.mongo package to
+ org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.db.nosql.mongodb.
+o Renamed the org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.db.nosql.couch package to
+ org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.db.nosql.couchdb.
+o LOG4J2-41: Add support for custom logging levels. Thanks to Nick Williams.
+o LOG4J2-507: Space Level numbers by 100 instead of 1.
+o LOG4J2-490: Update EasyMock to version 3.2. Thanks to Matt Sicker.
+o LOG4J2-453: Update Flume Appender to use Flume 1.4.0.
+o LOG4J2-528: Rename package
org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.rolling.helper to
org.apache.logging.log4j.core.appender.rolling.action.
