This version contains many changes to bring it back to better compatibility with log4j version 1.2.X, and more changes are planned for the upcoming alpha9 release as well. Users are encouraged to test this version with custom code that they have previously written for log4j version 1.2.X and to report any issues to the log4j dev email list.
INCOMPATIBILITY and DOCUMENTATION OUT OF SYNC WITH CODE In 1.2.8 I had extended PatternLayout to add 2 conversion letters, giving me full stack dumps, and "terse" stack dumps (instead of the always on, full stack dump of PatternLayout). Since the internal structure of PatterLayout have changed, and I was using non-documented internal classes, I have bought this on myself. I have no complaints. But it provided good results for coupla' years... The overview doc for PatternLayout http://www.qos.ch/logging/PatternLayout.jsp speaks of facilities in PatternLayout for adding new PatternConverters. I would have been happy to alter my code to use this (more official) approach. Sadly, the facilities do not appear to be present in the 1.3 alpha-8. Intriguingly they were present in 1.3 alpha-1 http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:S_wrbFAOLogJ:logging.apache.org/log4j/docs/api-1.3/org/apache/log4j/PatternLayout.html+addConversionRule&hl=en&gl=uk&ct=clnk&cd=1&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF-8 I would (very much) like to use the documented method for adding PatternConverter to Pattern Layout.
