Note that JUL and IO Streams are not 100% done: The JUL component page needs to be updated, and the IO Streams component does not have a page yet. IOStreams also does not have a changelog entry yet. (Is LOG4J2-547 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-547> the correct Jira for IO Streams? Gary or Matt, can you add a changelog entry?)
If we are going to do a beta, we need to ensure that users can download both the 2.0.2 jars and the 2.1-beta jars from the site. I have no idea how much work it would be to change the site... LOG4J2-829 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-829> on the face of it looks fairly straightforward. If you guys work on the above I can take care of this one. LOG4J2-818 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-818> may be non-trivial and perhaps not feasible for 2.1-beta.
