The vote will remain open for 72 hours (or more if required). All votes are
welcome and we encourage everyone to test the release, but only Logging PMC

positive than negative votes are required.
Changes in this version include:
New features:
o LOG4J2-1411: Add documentation about plugin builders compared to factories.
Fixed Bugs:
o LOG4J2-1405: OnStartupTriggeringPolicy was forcing a rollover of empty files
at startup and would append a
second footer that was added by the prior shutdown.
o LOG4J2-1406: Fixed bug in ReusableParameterizedMessage where Throwable was
never updated so first error was logged over
and over again and subsequent errors were not logged. Thanks to Trask
Stalnaker.
o LOG4J2-1409: Fixed ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException that may occur in
ReusableParameterizedMessage. Thanks to Shahan.
o LOG4J2-997: Add filter and remove filter were not working properly in

o LOG4J2-1032: Change RenameAction to use java.nio to better report rename
failures.
o LOG4J2-1407: Misleading WARN log events from Log4j about message factories
and unexpected formatting. Thanks to Gary Gregory.

component ids.
