Hi Dominik, Thanks for the quick reply. Ok gotcha, good to know that core 2.1 is at least on the cards.
As for getting involved: I'd be happy too... when I've got time. As the first and minimum thing, I can start using the release branch now. I understand it's the 'release/2.1.0' branch - ok I'll build and hook it up. BTW here is the first problem to report with the documentation - sorry doing it here rather than using jira, I promise will do the bug tracker for any subsequent problems... [image: image.png] This is the first code snippet from the Introduction page, and the first method in the snippet... is just not there in the library :-/ Yes it's not there for .NET Core only, but I guess the current most popular flavour of .NET family can't be ignored in such a way in the doco. Just imaging how puzzled would be a newcomer. https://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/manual/introduction.html I think that the Intro page really needs to be adapted to the current limitation of the used .NET Core version, as well as in all places where this simplest form of GetLogger is mentioned in the manual. Or maybe find a way to return it into LogManager even for .NET Core 1.x? This would be the ideal I guess. Also, it would help if all appenders that are not in the .NET Core would be clearly marked as such everywhere in the documentation where they're mentioned. Anyway, like I said I will start using the 2.1 branch version, and will file any issues into Jira if I find anything. Thanks!
