Ceki,

thanks for quick answer. If you can spare some time to answer a couple of 
more question, I'd really appreciate it.

Is there a place where I could find more details (or could you quickly 
write down few pointers) about these plans?
Will it be simply adding a member variable and implementing 
DailyRollingFileAppender.rollOver in a similar fashion as in 
RollingFileAppender?
I am already using log4cxx in production and would like to implement this 
feature asap.

Actually rolling package was the first place I looked when I started 
searching log4j code. 
So, to make it completely clear, please confirm this:
- rolling package is still in development and is not yet integrated into 
log4j
- in due time, rolling package will completely replace all existing 
rolling... implementations

Yes, it does. Thanks again.
