== Release Notes
This release terminates the modularization process of Log4j Core, by
moving all the code that uses optional `log4j-core` dependencies into
new modules:
* Support for the JAnsi library has been removed since recent Windows
OSes support ANSI escape sequences.
See
xref:manual/pattern-layout.adoc#ansi-windows[ANSI styling on Windows]
for more details.
* The
xref:manual/appenders/delegating.adoc#DisruptorBlockingQueueFactory[`DisruptorBlockinQueue`
queue factory]
has been moved to a new
xref:components.adoc#log4j-conversant[`log4j-conversant` artifact].
* Support for
xref:manual/appenders/rolling-file.adoc#RolloverStrategy-compress[advanced
compression algorithms]
has been moved to a new
xref:components.adoc#log4j-compress[`log4j-compress` artifact].
The Gzip and Zip formats are still supported out-of-the-box.
=== Separate lifecycle
* The
xref:manual/appenders/message-queue.adoc#FlumeAppender[Flume Appender]
releases will follow its own lifecycle.
* All the
xref:manual/installation.adoc#impl-core-bridges[logging bridges]
from and to Log4j API have been removed from the Log4j Core 3.x release.
Please manage your dependencies with
xref:components.adoc#log4j-bom[`log4j-bom`]
to always use the compatible version of the logging bridges.
