I am happy to announce the immediate availability of SLF4J version 1.5.1. In order to support JCL version 1.1.1, the jcl104-over-slf4j module was renamed as jcl-over-slf4j. SLF4J will no longer ship with jcl104-over-slf4j.jar but with jcl-over-slf4j.jar. The related work responds to enhancement request discussed in bug 85 as reported by Niklas Gustavsson.
The slf4j-jcl binding now depends on commons-logging version 1.1.1 instead of the older 1.0.4 Added a java.util.logging to SLF4J bridge as requested in bug 38 by Christian Stein, David Smiley, Johan Ferner, Joern Huxhorn and others. Fixed bug 68 reported by Su Chuan and David Rauschenbach. SLF4J requires log4j 1.2.12 or later. However, if an older version of log4j is present (lacking the TRACE level), in order to avoid NoSuchMethodError exceptions, the SLF4J's Log4jLoggerAdapter will map the TRACE level as DEBUG. Fixed bug 78 reported by Venu Thachappilly. If the argument array passed to a Logger printing method (debug, info, etc.) was null, a NullPointerException was thrown. With the correction, the messagePattern is returned as is, without parameter substitution. Added the getCopyOfContextMap and setContextMap methods to the MDCAdapter and org.sf4j.MDC classes. This was requested in bug 84 by Anton Tagunov. Fixed bug 74, an endless recursion problem in Marker.contains method, reported by Michael Newcomb. Also added he getDetachedMarker method to IMarkerFactor and MarkerFactory classes which was indirectly requested in bug 74. Added the methods getLevel() and getEffectiveLevel() to the Category class in log4j-over-slf4j. This addition was requested in bug 74 by Michael Newcomb. The SLF4J Migrator tool has been improved to support migration from JUL to SLF4J. In MarkerIgnoringBase class, corrected mapping of trace methods with markers to their equivalents without marker data. Previously, the mapping was trace to debug. The incorrect mapping affected only calls to the trace method with markers. Interestingly enough, this bug was picked up by new unit tests and has not been reported as a bug by our users.
