== Release Notes
This minor release delivers all the fixes in the `[2.25.0, 2.25.4]`
version range, plus some new fixes, and several other
improvements and features.
=== Added
* Add a new `ConfigurationFactory::getConfiguration` method
accepting multiple `URI`s (#3775, #3921)
* Add and export
`org.apache.logging.log4j.core.pattern.NamedInstantPattern`
enabling users to programmatically access named date
& time patterns supported by Pattern Layout (#3789)
* Add `log4j.plugin.processor.minAllowedMessageKind`
annotation processor option to `PluginProcessor` to filter
diagnostic messages by severity. This allows builds that
treat compiler notes as errors (e.g. Maven with `-Werror`)
to suppress informational notes emitted during normal
plugin processing. (#3380, #4063)
* Add missing setters to `Rfc5424LayoutBuilder`
=== Changed
* Ensure scripts in the global `Scripts` element have
explicit names by throwing a `ConfigurationException`
for unnamed ones. (#3176)
* Simplify file manager registry factory methods (#3968)
=== Deprecated
* Deprecated withers in builder classes in favor of setters.
This change improves API consistency with Log4j Core
3 and helps users adapt to the upcoming changes. (#3750)
=== Fixed
* Fix script resolution failure when the `Scripts` element
is placed after a `ScriptRef` in the configuration. (#3336)
* Fix `ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException` thrown by
`ThrowableStackTraceRenderer` when the stack trace
is modified concurrently (#3940, #3955)
* Fix `SLF4JLogger.atFatal()` returning `atLevel(Level.TRACE)`
instead of `atLevel(Level.FATAL)`. This was causing
`FATAL`-level log events to be silently discarded when using
the fluent API through the `log4j-to-slf4j` bridge. (#4068, #4089)
* Fix Javadoc references across module boundaries
(i.e., cross-references) (#4099, #4100)
* Fix header write in `RollingRandomAccessFileManager` that
was being incorrectly skipped if `append=true` and the file
didn't exist before
* Fix a properties file configuration regression caused by not
referenced loggers, appenders, and filters (#4036, #4069)
=== Removed
* Remove the `jvmrunargs` lookup. (#3874)
=== Updated
* Update `org.junit:junit-bom` to version `5.13.4` (#3850)
* Update `org.mongodb:bson` to version `5.6.1` (#3961)
* Update `org.xerial.snappy:snappy-java` to version `1.1.10.8` (#3841)
