-The Apache Log4j 2 team is pleased to announce the Log4j 2.0-rc1 release!
+The Apache Log4j 2 team is pleased to announce the Log4j 2.0-rc2 release!
Apache log4j is a well known framework for logging application behavior. Log4j
2 is an upgrade to
Log4j that provides significant improvements over its predecessor, Log4j 1.x,
and provides
many of the improvements available in Logback while fixing some inherent
problems in Logback's
architecture.
-This is the eleventh release of Log4j 2 and is being made available to
encourage use and feedback from the community.
+It is the Log4j team's intention that this will be the final release candidate
Log4j 2 before general availability and
+is being made available to encourage use and feedback from the community.
Bug fixes and enhancements
-This release contains several changes that break binary and backwards
compatibility with previous versions. Please read
-the release notes correctly so that you can adjust your usage of Log4j 2, if
necessary.

Fixed Bugs:

RollingFile appender with
- composite time and size based policies. Thanks to Geoff Ballinger.
-o LOG4J2-475: Changed the MongoDBConnection to add a MongoDB encoding hook
instead of a decoding hook. Thanks to Matt Sicker.
-o LOG4J2-489: Fixed the JPAAppender's overuse of transactions by connecting
(borrowing from pool) on new write internal or on
- flush.
-o LOG4J2-457: Fixed failure of JDBC and JPA appender to properly release
database connections by connecting (borrowing from
- pool) on new write internal or on flush.

WebSphere by connecting (borrowing from pool) on new
- write internal or on flush.
-o LOG4J2-438: Ensured the JDBCAppender commits transactions after a single
write or a flush of multiple writes.
-o LOG4J2-407: Fixed inability to recover from lost database connection in
database appenders by connecting (borrowing from
- pool) on new write internal or on flush.
-o LOG4J2-511: Stop AsyncLoggerConfig Disruptor thread(s), then AsyncAppender
thread(s) first
- before stopping other appenders. Thanks to James Pretorius.
-o LOG4J2-392: Stop AsyncLoggerConfig Disruptor thread(s), then AsyncAppender
thread(s) first
- before stopping other appenders. Thanks to ilynaf, Andre Bogus.
-o LOG4J2-345: (OSGi) logging.log4j-1.2-api doesn't export the log4j API 1.2.
Dependent bundles can not be resolved. Thanks to Roland Weiglhofer, Matt
Sicker.
-o LOG4J2-523: LocalizedMessage serialization is broken.
-o LOG4J2-385: Fixed issues with time-based file rollover (monthly, weekly,

disables Log4j's auto-initialization in
- Servlet 3.0+ web applications.
-o LOG4J2-512: Exposed Log4j web support interface and methods and the
LoggerContext through ServletContext attributes
- so that threads not affected by filters (such as asynchronous threads)
can utilize the LoggerContext. Also
- updated the Log4j filter so that it supports async. Thanks to Chandra
Sekhar Kakarla, Matt Sicker.
-o LOG4J2-409: Created a utility to properly escape backslashes before
creating URIs, and changed URI creation to use the
- utility instead of instantiating URI directly. Thanks to Frank
Steinmann, Thomas Neidhart.
-o LOG4J2-344: Changed the Servlet 3.0 auto-initializer to add the filter by
class to get around a WebLogic bug. Thanks to Keir Lawson, Tomasz Wladzinski.
-o LOG4J2-359: Changed the Servlet 3.0 auto-initializer so that it does
nothing in a Servlet 2.5 or older application. This
- ensures behavioral consistency across containers. This includes
additional fixes to abort initialization if a
- duplicate filter already exists and to check the actual Servlet
EFFECTIVE version. Thanks to Abhinav Shah.
-o LOG4J2-517: Switch in log4j-1.2-api Category.getEffectiveLevel has no cases
for FATAL, OFF.
-o LOG4J2-406: (JMX) Unregister all log4j JMX MBeans when the LoggerContext is
stopped
