I would really appreciate a "review kit" for voting on log4cxx releases:
1. Where is the staging website? 2. How can I verify the checksum? 3. How can I verify the signatures? 4. How can I build and test the sources? (For inspiration, you can check out the review kit we use for Java-based projects <https://github.com/apache/logging-parent/blob/main/.github/release-review-kit.txt> .) Maybe there are more things I should be reviewing, but I simply don't know. Hence, making your expectations clear from a review would not only help reviewers, but, IMHO, improve the engagement. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Robert Middleton <rmiddle...@apache.org> Date: Fri, Dec 29, 2023 at 1:01 AM Subject: [VOTE] Release log4cxx 1.2.0-RC1 To: <dev@logging.apache.org> This is a vote to release log4cxx 1.2.0-RC1.

As always, at least 3 +1 votes and more positive than negative votes are required. A quick changelog is below: * Various build failures have been fixed * Added a new Hexdump utility method to dump arbitrary memory * Fixed a segfault when shutting down and not stopping the library * QStrings may now be logged directly * The main namespace is now configurable from log4cxx to any value that is desired Tag: For a new copy do "git clone https://github.com/apache/logging-log4cxx.git"; and then "git checkout tags/v1.2.0-RC1" For an existing working copy, do "git pull" and then "git checkout tags/v1.2.0-RC1" Web site: https://logging.staged.apache.org/log4cxx/latest_stable/ Distribution archives: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/logging/log4cxx/ Building directions are on the website(under 'Development'). Note that APR is required to build(as well as boost if your compiler does not support C++17). -Robert Middleton
