+1 despite a lot of non-code issues, none of which are blockers IMO, since the _code_ is OK. See also my previous emails.
>From distribution src zip: MD5, SHA1, ASC OK. Following BUILDING.txt as usual. PASS: mvn apache-rat:check FAIL: mvn clirr:check -pl log4j-api We have a LOT (205) CLIRR violations in https://rgoers.github.io/log4j2-site/log4j-api/clirr-report.html which are _not_ explained away as OK in the RELEASE-NOTES.txt. We really ought to explain how the new methods on public interfaces will not break existing call sites but could break custom providers that do not extend our Core classes. I have also updated the BUILDING.txt file in master to show that the 1.2 API Clirr check MUST come AFTER install is run. This is not obvious when you run from a SNAPSHOT build, but it must be so for a version that you have never built before. PASS: mvn clean site This is alarming, many: [INFO] Ignoring api call removed in maven 3, no reports are generated! Is this because we use an older version of the Maven PDF plugin? I'm do not know if anything is missing from the PDF. Hm, if I use version 1.3 instead of 1.2 I still get the same INFOs and also WARNs.
