I used 1.2.0 beta 8 in a highly-critical production environment that must be
up 24/7 and recently we switched to 1.2.9. The application software uses
log4net from both a .NET client application (XP and Windows 2003 Server
machines), web services (under IIS running on Windows 2003 Server) and
windows services. Appenders used are RollingLog, SMTP (even if it is
missing a config setting or two, grr) and EventLogger. Plus we have a
couple of client-side appenders, namely a MessageBox one. And to add in
another potential problem/bottleneck/etc. we use custom a
ILog/LogImpl/LogManager that implements some more logging levels, adds in
static configuration methods.
So far we have no zero issues associated with log4net. I'm fairly confident
we stress log4net quite handily.
Unfortunately that can't be said for some other 3rd party software or server
products.

Subject: Re: Log4Net 1.1.1 Documentation?
I realize that it is an old release, but I still am very hesitant to
consider using a beta release in a commercial product. If it is stable,
then why hasn't there been a general release? It seems a little odd to me
to go that long without a general release, even if it is an open-source
product. Version 1.1.1 seems to have everything that we really need,
although the ADO.NET appender would be nice.

From Ron Grabowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 18 Apr 2006:
Log4net 1.1.1 was released in 2002. Its over 4 years old. Don't use
that. A lot of people consider 1.2.0 beta 8 and anything after that
(1.2.9 beta, and the recently announced 1.2.10) to be stable.
The documentation on the log4net website is for 1.2.9 beta.
I recommend coding against the download on this page:
