It's ok for me to make an RC.
I would like to avoid the "beta" from a community perspective.
I also don't don't think that we are beta anymore and it would
be misleading for the community. In fact, having a RC would
show we are close before.
You are more the beta guy where I am usually more into GA, so can we
find a compromise on RC?
Cheers

I think the next release should be an RC (or beta), not the GA. There
are
just too many changes since beta-9 IMO.
Ideally, there should only be minor fixes from RC to GA.

Any showstoppers left for anyone?
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-529 is not great, but
not
sure
if it qualifies as a showstopper...
I'll see if I can find time to work on
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-520 this weekend, but
this
is
not a showstopper IMHO. So I'd be fine with doing a release with
what we
have now.

I would like to highlight that!
Anyway happy with the proposed time plan :-)

How about an RC now (after showstoppers are fixed),
then the GA release say one month later?
Keep in mind we can still have bugix releases in 2.0.1, etc, and
even
API changes in 2.1 etc...

So, yes, the new level API needs to go through a non-GA release.
Aside
from that, I am behind in my Log4j2 homework to see how much work
it
will
be to convert our Log4j1 code and extensions to v2. But that's
just an
issue on my end that should not hold up everyone else.
I've been out of 100% commission for almost a week so I need to
try and
use the new level system...

Due to the API change I can agree with having another beta or an
RC but
the reason I asked about GA is that I am not aware of very many
showstopper
issues that need to be addressed. I am sensing that you have a
real
reluctance to have Log4j 2 released as GA and I am trying to
understand
what the reason is.

I agree with Nick. Changing levels to be extensible warrants
another
Beta. I'd like to see a stable API before we get into RC mode.
What about:
- Now: Another Beta
- +1 month, If the API is stable: RC1
- RCs until shows stoppers are fixed, pick a rhythm: once a week
may
be
too much, once a month too long. Every two weeks seems pretty
frequent for
our bunch for a ramp down.
Thoughts on that?
I am not so much concerned about OSGi now since I look at this
as more
of a packaging issue and how much gets dragged in the container
with
dependencies. For OSGi, are we really considering delivering one
bundle
(jar) per appender?
I am more concerned about all the issues people seem to have in
servlet
environments.

I wouldn't necessarily vote against a GA, but given that we just
MAJORLY overhauled Level, I think a brief RC is in order. It
would be
a
shame if someone found a problem with Level a week after GA that
caused us
to need to change the API to fix it.

Since we are having good discussions I would also like to find
out
what are blockers to a GA release. My list includes:
1. The fix Nick is working on to allow Servlet initialization
to be
disabled from automatically happening in a 3.0 container.
2. Support for programmatic configuration of Loggers. I planned
on
working on that this weekend but worked on the custom levels
instead.
While I believe better support for OSGi is necessary I don't
believe
we will be able to do that for GA.
Are there any other Jira issues or features that anybody else
feels
is
required?
