[ANNOUNCE] Apache Log4j 2.12.2 released

[Gary Gregory]

The Apache Log4j 2 team is pleased to announce the Log4j 2.12.2 release!

Apache Log4j is a well known framework for logging application
behavior. Log4j 2 is an upgrade to Log4j that provides significant
improvements over its predecessor, Log4j 1.x, and provides many other
modern features such as support for Markers, lambda expressions for
lazy logging, property substitution using Lookups, multiple patterns
on a PatternLayout and asynchronous Loggers. Another notable Log4j 2
feature is the ability to be "garbage-free" (avoid allocating
temporary objects) while logging. In addition, Log4j 2 will not lose
events while reconfiguring.

The 2.12.2 artifacts for Java 7 may be downloaded from
https://logging.apache.org/log4j/log4j-2.12.2/download.html

This release contains changes addressing only CVE-2021-44228 and
CVE-2021-45046 for users still using Java 7:

* Removed Message Lookups in PatternLayout. "%m{lookup}",
"%m{nolookup}", and variants will still be accepted as conversion
patterns, but have no effect.

* Disabled JNDI by default and only allowing "java" protocol
when enabled.

* Made JNDI Lookup inoperable and removed the message Lookup
capability.

The Log4j 2.12.2 API, as well as many core components, maintains
binary compatibility with previous releases. This version is
recommended as an upgrade.


Apache Log4j 2.12.2 requires a minimum of Java 7 to build and run.
Log4j 2.16.0 is the most recent Log4j release and users are
encouraged to upgrade this version, if possible. Java 7 is no
longer supported by the Log4j team.

For complete information on Apache Log4j 2, including instructions on
how to submit bug reports, patches, or suggestions for improvement,

[ANNOUNCE] Apache Commons Pool 2.9.0

[Gary Gregory]

The Apache Commons Pool team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Commons Pool 2.9.0.

Apache Commons Pool provides an object-pooling API and a number of object
pool implementations.
Version 2 contains a completely re-written pooling implementation compared
to the 1.x series.
In addition to performance and scalability improvements, version 2 includes
robust instance
tracking and pool monitoring.

Version 2.9.x requires Java 8 or above.
Version 2.8.x requires Java 8 or above.
Version 2.7.x requires Java 8 or above.
Version 2.6.x requires Java 7 or above.
Version 2.5.x requires Java 7 or above.
Version 2.0 requires 6 or above.

No client code changes are required to migrate from versions 2.0-2.3 to
version 2.4.3.
Users of version 1.x should consult the migration guide on the Commons Pool
web site.

NOTE: The MBean interfaces (DefaultPooledObjectInfoMBean,
GenericKeyedObjectPoolMXBean
  and GenericKeyedObjectPoolMXBean) exist only to define the attributes
and methods
  that will be made available via JMX. They must not be implemented by
clients as
  they are subject to change between major, minor and patch version
releases of
  Commons Pool. Clients that implement any of these interfaces may not,
therefore,
  be able to upgrade to a new minor or patch release without requiring
code
  changes.

This is a minor release (Java 8).

Changes in version 2.9.0 include:

Changes:
o POOL-387:  Object factory destroy method should carry information on
activation context. Thanks to Phil Steitz.

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Apache Commons Pool 2.8.0

[Gary Gregory]

The Apache Commons Pool team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Commons Pool 2.8.0.

Apache Commons Pool provides an object-pooling API and a number of object
pool implementations.
Version 2 contains a completely re-written pooling implementation compared
to the 1.x series.
In addition to performance and scalability improvements, version 2 includes
robust instance
tracking and pool monitoring. Version 2 requires JDK level 1.6 or above.

No client code changes are required to migrate from versions 2.0-2.3 to
version 2.4.3.
Users of version 1.x should consult the migration guide on the Commons Pool
web site.

NOTE: The MBean interfaces (DefaultPooledObjectInfoMBean,
GenericKeyedObjectPoolMXBean
  and GenericKeyedObjectPoolMXBean) exist only to define the attributes
and methods
  that will be made available via JMX. They must not be implemented by
clients as
  they are subject to change between major, minor and patch version
releases of
  Commons Pool. Clients that implement any of these interfaces may not,
therefore,
  be able to upgrade to a new minor or patch release without requiring
code
  changes.

This is a maintenance release (Java 8).

Changes in version 2.8.0 include:

New features:
o POOL-378:  Deprecate PoolUtils.prefill(ObjectPool, int) in favor of
ObjectPool.addObjects(int). Thanks to Gary Gregory.
o POOL-379:  Deprecate PoolUtils.prefill(KeyedObjectPool, K, int) in favor
of KeyedObjectPool.addObjects(K, int). Thanks to Gary Gregory.
o POOL-380:  Deprecate PoolUtils.prefill(KeyedObjectPool, Collection, int)
in favor of KeyedObjectPool.addObjects(Collection, int). Thanks to Gary
Gregory.

Fixed Bugs:
o POOL-374:
 org.apache.commons.pool2.impl.GenericKeyedObjectPool.returnObject(K, T)
should throw IllegalStateException instead of NullPointerException when a
key is not found in the pool map. Thanks to Gary Gregory, Phil Steitz.
o POOL-376:  Fixed regression from original fix for POOL-356 which could
result in NPE when destroying objects. Thanks to Sazzadul Hoque, Phil
Steitz.
o POOL-326:  Eliminated NPE / ISE exceptions due to keyed pools being
prematurely removed. Thanks to Phil Steitz.
oClose BufferedOutputStream in test before calling toString on
underlying BufferedOutputStream #26. Thanks to emopers.
o[Javadoc] Add missing @throws comment in
SoftReferenceObjectPool. #28. Thanks to Prodigysov.

Changes:
o POOL-375:  Update optional library cglib from 3.2.12 to 3.3.0. Thanks to
Gary Gregory.
oUpdate site build from Apache Commons BCEL 6.3.1 to 6.4.1.
Thanks to Gary Gregory.

[ANNOUCEMENT] Apache Commons Pool 2.7.0

[Gary Gregory]

The Apache Commons Pool team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
Commons Pool 2.7.0.

Apache Commons Pool provides an object-pooling API and a number of object
pool implementations.
Version 2 contains a completely re-written pooling implementation compared
to the 1.x series.
In addition to performance and scalability improvements, version 2 includes
robust instance
tracking and pool monitoring. Version 2 requires JDK level 1.6 or above.

No client code changes are required to migrate from versions 2.0-2.3 to
version 2.4.3.
Users of version 1.x should consult the migration guide on the Commons Pool
web site.

NOTE: The MBean interfaces (DefaultPooledObjectInfoMBean,
GenericKeyedObjectPoolMXBean
  and GenericKeyedObjectPoolMXBean) exist only to define the attributes
and methods
  that will be made available via JMX. They must not be implemented by
clients as
  they are subject to change between major, minor and patch version
releases of
  Commons Pool. Clients that implement any of these interfaces may not,
therefore,
  be able to upgrade to a new minor or patch release without requiring
code
  changes.

This is a feature release (Java 8).

Changes in version 2.7.0 include:

New features:
o POOL-370:  Add org.apache.commons.pool2.PooledObject#getBorrowedCount().
Thanks to Mark Thomas, Gary Gregory.
o POOL-371:  Add
org.apache.commons.pool2.PooledObject#setRequireFullStackTrace(boolean).
Thanks to Matt Sicker, Gary Gregory.

Fixed Bugs:
o POOL-361:  Move validation for newly created objects into create(). Fixes
#23. Thanks to Pablo, Phil Steitz, Bruno P. Kinoshita.

Changes:
o POOL-364:  Update from Java 7 to Java 8. Thanks to Gary Gregory.
o POOL-365:  Update ASM from 7.0 to 7.1 Thanks to Gary Gregory.
o POOL-366:  Update optional library cglib from 3.2.10 to 3.2.12. Thanks to
Gary Gregory.
o POOL-367:  Fix typo in package private method name stopEvitor() ->
stopEvictor() #22. Thanks to Per Lundberg.
