However, as already stated, the main concern is that 0.9.7 is not recommended for new development. I have downloaded the HEAD version and built it (on Windows MSVC 8), but for some reason the unit tests assert (see below), so I am a little worried if we can use it safely. clean-output: run-unittest: [exec] ............................Assertion failed: stat == APR_SUCCESS, file C:\Documents and Settings\h.mehmet\My Documents\Installs\log4cxx\t ests\src\util\transformer.cpp, line 211 [exec] [exec] This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. [exec] Please contact the application's support team for more information. BUILD FAILED As per the subject ;-), is there any rough estimate of the schedule for the next version. Thanks Hassan
