-------------------------------
> 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: 2.6, 2.6.1, 2.6.2, 2.7, 2.8, 2.8.1
> Reporter: Ralph Goers
> Fix For: 2.8.2
>
>
> 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.
