# Remarks

- `logging-parent` doesn't contain any binary artifacts, it is a
  `pom.xml` with some reusable CI workflow YAMLs.
- One can reproduce the very same distribution by checking
  out the commit and running
  `./mvnw -P distribution -DattachmentCount=0 -DattachmentFilepathPattern=x`

# Release Notes

This minor release contains various improvements that we expect to
relieve the load on `pom.xml` and GitHub Actions workflows of
Maven-based projects we parent. This is of particular importance while
managing and cutting releases from multiple repositories.
See `README.adoc` for the complete list of features and their usage.

See this[3] `log4j-tools` GitHub Actions workflow run demonstrating a
successful release cut using a SNAPSHOT version of this
`logging-parent` release. All preparations (release notes, source and
binary distributions, vote & announcement emails, etc.) are staged to
both Nexus and SVN and waiting the release manager to proceed.
