+ Version-specific release notes (`7.8.0.adoc`, etc.) are generated from
`src/changelog/*/.release-notes.adoc.ftl`.
+ Auto-generation happens during `generate-sources` phase of Maven.
+ Hence, you must always
+
+ 1. Find and edit the associated `.release-notes.adoc.ftl`
+ 2. Run `./mvnw generate-sources`
+ 3. Commit both `.release-notes.adoc.ftl` and the generated `7.8.0.adoc`

+
+This release primarily contains bug fixes and minor enhancements.
+
+The Log4j 2.20.1 API, as well as many core components, maintains binary
compatibility with previous releases.
+
+Apache Log4j 2.20.1 requires a minimum of Java 11 to build and Java 8 to run.
+Log4j 2.12.4 is the last release to support Java 7.
+Log4j 2.3.2 is the last release to support Java 6.
+Java 6 and Java 7 are 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, see
http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/[the Apache Log4j 2 website].

+ IF THIS FILE DOESN'T HAVE A `.ftl` SUFFIX, IT IS AUTO-GENERATED, DO NOT
EDIT IT!
+
+ Version-specific release notes (`7.8.0.adoc`, etc.) are generated from
`src/changelog/*/.release-notes.adoc.ftl`.
+ Auto-generation happens during `generate-sources` phase of Maven.
+ Hence, you must always
+
+ 1. Find and edit the associated `.release-notes.adoc.ftl`
+ 2. Run `./mvnw generate-sources`
