Hi Dominik,
I've got your email from the log4net repo on GitHub - sorry if it's a wrong
way to contact the log4net team, but I did not find any other.
There's a mailing list, see [1] for more information. As an alternative
there's also the issue tracker, see [2]
for more information.
I was happily using log4net for years under the classic .NET framework
(log4net is an awesome logging tool btw), but now I moved to .NET Core 2.1,
and seems not everything is supported there which is a bit disappointing.
Is there any plans to support SmtpAppender in log4net under .NET? I
understand it's not supported now because log4net 2.0.8 is built for .NET
Core 1.x which does not support SmtpClient.
If support for netstandard-2.0 is added, adding the SmtpAppender is just
a precompiler directive.
So, is there any chance we'll see soon a log4net release targeting .NET
Core 2.1??
There are plans but the project needs human resources to get the plans
done. We have a release branch
open since several months now without much progress. However, before
adding another framework target
I want to get 2.1.0 released to provide people with an upgrade path.
Then we can continue working on the
netstandard-2.0 branch.
This said I'm glad you're reaching out to the community. Would you like
to get involved? We need people to test
the current release branch, review the documentation, work through open
issues, ..
