Remko Popma commented on LOG4J2-609:
------------------------------------
About changing the {{StatusData}} constructor, this breaks the API, but I don't
see what benefit we or the users are getting in return... So why then make the
change?
About removing the ability to switch StatusLogger output on/off in
reconfiguration, do we really want to do that? It sounds like a good feature
for our users.
To be honest I'm not clear on how things work with/without the
StatusConsoleListener. If that is not registered, shouldn't StatusLogger still
log to the console since it delegates to a SimpleLogger instance that logs to
System.err? (I'm actually not sure if there is any code that checks if
StatusLogger.isEnabled before calling StatusLogger.warn/info/debug, so perhaps
my concern was not realistic.) So perhaps users would see StatusLogger output
even with only the api jar...

> {{org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.status.StatusConfiguration}} allows
> you to specify a destination such as "out", "err" or a file name. If
> specifying a file, that file stream is used when creating a
> {{StatusConsoleListener}} that is added to the {{StatusLogger}}. Those
> {{StatusLogger}} listeners are never cleaned up when, for example, the
> {{XmlConfiguration}} is reconfigured or when the {{LoggerContext}} is shut
> down (e.g. in {{InitialLoggerContext.apply()}}). This leaves open file
> handles and is the source of the failing test {{FileOutputTest}} on Windows.
