I was looking over the changelog for 2.8 and noticed some things in the "Fixed Bugs" section that sound like they'd be more appropriate in the "New features" section such as:
* Added Builder classes (e.g., GelfLayout) * Make GelfLayout independent of Jackson (that is totally a new feature!) * Added CleanableThreadContextMap (not only is it a new feature, it's a new log4j-api class!) * Any new options added to plugins (e.g., disableAnsi in PatternLayout) * Configurable JVM shutdown hook timeout * Garbage-free changes (unless you consider garbage objects to be a bug now?) Also, this isn't such a big deal, but when we do more than two dependency version upgrades within a single release, it might be clearer to combine them into a single ticket (e.g., Jackson makes a bit more releases than we do, so we usually end up with multiple Jackson upgrade tickets in the changelog which isn't very helpful to a user). -- Matt Sicker <boa...@gmail.com>
