Hey Ralph,
Is there an online voting system or do we just reply to this email thread? This is my first time voting on apache, therefore unsure. Thanks, Viral Shah (c): 312 375 2629 AIM: budmiller75 Yahoo/Skype: virals3 From: Ralph Goers [mailto:ralph.go...@dslextreme.com] Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2012 10:37 AM To: Log4J Developers List Cc: Logging PMC Subject: Re: [VOTE] Log4j 2.0-beta1 rc1 This vote is coming up on 48 hrs and has not had any feedback from PMC members yet, although Christian did ping me offline to say he would try to get to this by tomorrow. Can one of the other PMC members please review the release? Thanks, Ralph On Sep 18, 2012, at 9:42 AM, Ralph Goers wrote: This is a vote to release Log4j 2.0-beta1, the third release of Log4j 2.0. Changes in this release include: New features: o Added AsynchAppender. Fixed Bugs: o LOG4J-81: PatternLayout was not honoring format modifiers. o Created web module to allow web applications to include the Log4j context listener in WEB-INF/lib even if Log4j is in the container's class path. Allow locating the LoggerContext to include the ClassLoader. Updated the Loader utility to always choose the child ClassLoader. Verified in Jboss 5 and Tomcat. o LOG4J2-82: MarkerFilter called MarkerManager.getMarker causing the Marker to be created during the processing of the configuration. This prevents the application from creating the Marker with any parents. MarkerWrapper in SLF4J-impl was getting a ClassCastException in instanceOf because the Marker isn't a MarkerWrapper. o LOG4J2-80: Allow Log4j 2 to be used as the implementation with SLF4J and SLF4J's jcl-over-slf4j by adding filtering to the log method in SLF4JLogger. Thanks to Oliver Lamy. o LOG4J2-78: LogFactoryImpl.setAttribute in the Commons Logging bridge got a NullPointerException when passed a null value. It will now remove the attribute. o LOG4J2-77: RoutingAppender was calling the stop method for each of its referenced Appenders and was calling the stop method of the default Appender a second time. It will now only call the stop method of Appenders it creates. o LOG4J2-76: RewriteAppender was calling the stop method of the referenced appender causing the referenced appender's manager to have its use count decremented too many times. o LOG4J2-74: Logger.error(Marker, Message, Throwable) was internally using Level.TRACE. o LOG4J2-75: Enhanced Log4jContextListener to accept a configuration file location. Modified FileConfigurationMonitor to monitor files configured that way. Fixed other reconfiguration related bugs. Tested in JBoss and Tomcat. o LOG4J2-72: NullPointerException in RollingFileManager when filePattern does not cause the file to be compressed. o LOG4J2-71: FileRenameAction did not create the parent directories of the archive files causing the rollover to fail. Changes: o Update the versions of SLF4J and Logback. Please test and cast your votes. [] +1, release the artifacts [] -1, don't release because. The vote will remain open for 72 hours (or more if required).
