Hello all, After a very long gestation period, I am pleased to announce SLF4J 2.0.0.
The 2.0.x series introduces a backward-compatible fluent logging API. By backward-compatible, we mean that existing logging frameworks do not have to be changed in order for the user to benefit from the fluent logging API. However, existing frameworks *must* migrate to the ServiceLoader mechanism. The resulting internal changes are detailed in the FAQ page. http://www.slf4j.org/faq.html#changesInVersion200 The 2.0.x series builds upon the the 1.8.x series which was modularized per Java Platform Module System (JPMS/Jigsaw). The 2.0.x series requires Java 8. Please refer to the the news page for more details on this release: http://www.slf4j.org/news.html Binary compatibility: Mixing mixing different versions of slf4j-api.jar and SLF4J provider can cause problems. For example, if you are using slf4j-api-2.0.0.jar, then you should also use slf4j-simple-2.0.0.jar, using slf4j-simple-1.5.5.jar will not work. With the exception of the fluent API (new in SLF4J 2.0.x), from the client's perspective all versions of slf4j-api are compatible. Client code compiled with slf4j-api-N.jar will run perfectly fine with slf4j-api-M.jar for any N and M. You only need to ensure that the version of your provider matches that of the slf4j-api.jar. You do not have to worry about the version of slf4j-api.jar used to compile a given dependency in your project. You can always use *any* version of slf4j-api.jar, and as long as the version of slf4j-api.jar and its provider match, you should be fine.
