Build can be accessed from: http://cvs.apache.org/builds/logging/ log4j/log4j-1.2.13rc1/

I used the same build environment, so everything should be identical. Please check it out and let me know. I'd like to release it fairly quickly.



Sorry about the delay. Caught me in the middle of a move and I'm not operating at 100%.

The v1.2.13rc1 build had no construction defects based on my tests. I could rebuild the release with only the expected differences in the Javadocs using JDK 1.3 and the unit tests passed on JDK 1.1, 1.3 and 1.5.

I did discover that the JDBCAppender depends on JDK 1.2 collection classes and would likely not function in a JDK 1.1 environment. However, that defect was not recently introduced.

I'm perplexed by the fix for TRACE level LocationInfo defect (Bug 36800). The only change other than ConsoleAppender change appears to be changing the class used in determining the value for Logger.FQCN from Level to Logger. It is not obvious to me (and I didn't follow the earlier thread) how this would have only affected the TRACE level. The use of Level does appear to be wrong (the C in the variable name stands for Category and Category was replaced by Logger not Level), but appears to be a long standing problem. I'd like to understand how it was introduced to the code base in the first place.

Even though I originally committed the "honorReassignment" attribute for ConsoleAppender. On later reflection (but after I packed away my development machines), I now prefer "follow" as the name for that attribute.

I do not know if the recent SyslogAppender (35743, 37282) defects are significant enough to hold 1.2.13 until they are addressed.
