-----------------------------------
Summary: API Version is incorrect
Key: LOG4J2-1836
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-1836
Project: Log4j 2
Issue Type: Bug
Components: API, Core
Affects Versions: 2.8.1, 2.8, 2.7, 2.6.2, 2.6.1, 2.6
Reporter: Ralph Goers
ProviderUtil in Log4j API is supposed to list the versions of the API that are
all compatible with each other from a binding point of view. These versions are
not supposed to be modified with each Log4j release but only when a change to
the API is made so that implementations can know whether they are compatible
with the API.
Likewise, each implemenation (such as Log4j core) is supposed to declare what
version of the API it requires. Again, this is not implemented with each
release but only when core is modified to require changes in the API.
The API changed significantly in releases prior to 2.6 but these values were
never modified. Since 2.6 very little has changed in the API.
To fix this issue the API needs to say the only compatible version is 2.6 and
log4j-core must declare that it requires version 2.6.
