Hi, +1 to 1.2.9 with: - Deprecated Category - Deprecated Priority - enum keyword replacement to allow J2SE 5.0 compilation
I understand and still +1 if only the first two can be done, but the 3rd one is good as well. -1 on adding other new things, such as some of the recently proposed appenders, to 1.2.9.
