Hi everyone, I have started restoring full backward compatibility between 1.0.4 and the future 1.1. This task consists of restoring the setOption/getOptionStrings methods in all appenders and layouts. These methods will be marked as deprecated. The good thing is that restoring these methods does not seem to cause problems with the new beans based configurators. Regards, Ceki ps: Anders, would you like to help doing this boring chore? For example, you take net/ and xml/ and I take the rest? I hope to see you at my ApacheCon 2001 presentation entitled "Log4j, A Logging Package for Java". See http://ApacheCon.Com/2001/US/ for more details. ---- Ceki Gülcü Web: http://qos.ch av. de Rumine 5 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (preferred) CH-1005 Lausanne [EMAIL PROTECTED] Switzerland Tel: ++41 21 351 23 15 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
