+      <section><title>11 November 2024 - Avoid log4j-api 2.24.1</title>
+        <p>When testing a potential Apache POI 5.4.0 release, we discovered a 
serious bug in
+        log4j-api 2.24.1. This leads to NullPointerExceptions when you use 
log4j-core that is not of
+        the exact same version (2.24.1). We recommend that users avoid log4j 
2.24.x.</p>
+        <p>Please direct any queries to the Log4j Team. The main issue is
+          <a href="https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/issues/3143";>Issue 
3143</a>.</p>
+        <p>An XMLBeans 5.2.2 release was recently made and that has the 
problematic log4j-api 2.24.1
+          dependency. <a href="https://xmlbeans.apache.org/";>XMLBeans 
5.2.2</a> doesn't have many changes
+          so users should avoid it unless they need the changes in it. If you 
must use that XMLBeans release,
+          you will need to carefully test the upgrade.</p>
