I too want to get 2.0 out the door and I believe we are really close. There are a couple of small API things, like what Gary points out and my issue that cause me to desire an rc3. I am totally on board with rc3 being a very short lived rc (as in a week or two). It would be my preference for rc3 and 2.0 to be the same thing, or maybe only different in very minor ways. To do this, would it make sense to make a 2.0 branch so we can continue to work on trunk and then only pull issues from trunk to the branch during this 1 or 2 week period I mention if it is absolutely necessary? (possibly not even minor bug fixes) It would help my confidence as a user of log4j2 if I could use rc3 in some apps during that time. Then cut the 2.0 release from that branch. So as of this moment, my vote is 0 for 2.0, but I believe that very soon my vote will be +1.

In general, I think we agree that in any release log4j-core can have changes that are not binary compatible with previous releases. That is why the api and core modules are separate: so we are free to make changes to core... To be honest, LOG4J2-703/713 doesn't look like a showstopper, or am I missing something? My concerns are twofold: - The Closer API has changed. The is a 'public' API and breaks BC; whether or not we consider this class as public for the purpose of defining our semantic versifying is a topic we need to address and document to set expectations for our users. If we say 'classes in package foo' should not be used by non-log4j-modules, then we are drawn a line in the sand. The fact that we do not put these classes in an 'internal' package a la Eclipse is a different topic also. - First impressions. It would be nice to address easy bugs before 2.0 goes out; this seems to be an easy bug. Yes, it could be in 2.0.1 or 2.1 but you only make a first impression once.

In the meantime, I will attempt another round-trip of fix/test with the user.

I wonder what else will pop up on Android. It looks like one of our JDBC classes also depends on JNDI so that would bomb too. Perhaps we should delay voting on 2.0 until we know how 703 and 713 play out. Especially since splitting classes in two might be the only solution.

This breaks BC in org.apache.logging.log4j.core.util.Closer. So the question is: Are we, and if yes, what modules, allowing ourselves to break BC in a non-major release.
