The Jakarta Commons team are pleased to announced that Apache Jakarta Commons Logging (JCL) 1.1 has been released. JCL is a thin bridging API for logging with adapters for many common logging systems. Read more about JCL at http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging. JCL 1.1 is a maintenance release. A few new configuration features are provided but the focus has been on improving the discovery of logging implementations and in error handling whilst maintaining backwards compatibility. A number of problems that have troubled some users in past releases will hopefully be significantly reduced or cured. This is covered in more detail in the release notes (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/RELEASE-NOTES.txt). Some changes have been made to the class-wise composition of the distributed jars. Some deprecated classes are no longer shipped. This is covered in more detail in the release notes (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/RELEASE-NOTES.txt.
The JCL documentation has also been improved. A Technology Guide (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/tech.html) offering an introduction to classloading issues and a Troubleshooting Guide (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/troubleshooting.html') complement an improved User Guide (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/logging/guide.html) Binary and source distributions are available at http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_commons-logging.cgi. The jars are available from the usual repositories with <code>groupId: commons-logging</code> and <code>artifactId: commons-logging</code>. Please remember to verify the signatures.
