 <#if release.date?has_content>Release date:: ${release.date}</#if>
 
-This minor release contains bug fixes, behavioral improvements, and a 
fully-fledged support for the GraalVM native image generation.
-
-[#release-notes-2-25-0-graalvm]
-=== GraalVM reachability metadata
-
-Log4j Core and all its extension modules have been enriched with embedded
-https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/native-image/metadata/[GraalVM 
reachability metadata].
-This allows the generation of GraalVM native images out-of-the-box without any 
additional steps.
-See our xref:graalvm.adoc[GraalVM guide] for details.
-
-[#release-notes-2-25-0-PL-ex]
-=== Exception handling in Pattern Layout
-
-Exception handling in xref:manual/pattern-layout.adoc[Pattern Layout] went 
through a major rewrite.
-This effectively helped with fixing some bugs by matching the feature parity 
of all exception converters.
-Some important highlights from this rewrite:
-
-* Rendered stack traces are ensured to be prefixed with a newline, which used 
to be a whitespace in earlier versions.
-* Switched the default exception converter from 
xref:manual/pattern-layout.adoc#converter-exception-extended[the extended 
exception converter] to xref:manual/pattern-layout.adoc#converter-exception[the 
plain exception converter], which is more performant.
-* The support for the `\{ansi}` option in exception converters is removed.
-
-[#release-notes-2-25-0-instant-format]
-=== Date & time formatting
-
-Historically, Log4j contains custom date & time formatting utilities for 
performance reasons, i.e., 
link:javadoc/log4j-core/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/util/datetime/FixedDateFormat.html[`FixedDateFormat`]
 and 
link:javadoc/log4j-core/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/util/datetime/FastDateFormat.html[`FastDateFormat`].
-These have been deprecated for removal in favor of Java's 
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/{java-target-version}/docs/api/java/time/format/DateTimeFormatter.html[`DateTimeFormatter`].
-After upgrading, if you experience any date & time formatting problems (in 
particular, related with the usage of `n` and `x` directives), please 
{logging-services-url}/support.html#issues[submit an issue ticket] – as a 
temporary workaround, you can set 
xref:manual/systemproperties.adoc#log4j2.instant.formatter[the 
`log4j2.instant.formatter` property] to `legacy` to switch to the old behaviour.
-
-=== ANSI support on Windows
-
-Since 2017, Windows 10 and newer have offered native support for ANSI escapes.
-The support for the outdated Jansi 1.x library has therefore been removed.
-See xref:manual/pattern-layout.adoc#jansi[ANSI styling on Windows] for more 
information.

+
+This minor release introduces bug fixes, behavior improvements, and complete 
support for GraalVM native image generation.
+
+[#release-notes-2-25-0-graalvm]
+=== GraalVM Reachability Metadata
+
+Log4j Core and all extension modules now include embedded
+https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/native-image/metadata/[GraalVM 
reachability metadata],
+enabling seamless generation of native images with GraalVM out of the box—no 
manual configuration required.
+For more information, refer to our xref:graalvm.adoc[GraalVM guide].
+
+[#release-notes-2-25-0-PL-ex]
+=== Exception Handling in Pattern Layout
+
+Exception handling in xref:manual/pattern-layout.adoc[Pattern Layout] has 
undergone a significant rewrite.
+This update resolves several bugs and ensures consistent behavior across all 
exception converters.
+Key improvements include:
+
+* Stack traces are now consistently prefixed with a newline instead of other 
whitespace.
+* The default exception converter has changed from 
xref:manual/pattern-layout.adoc#converter-exception-extended[extended] to 
xref:manual/pattern-layout.adoc#converter-exception[plain], offering better 
performance.
+* Support for the `{ansi}` option in exception converters has been removed.
+
+[#release-notes-2-25-0-instant-format]
+=== Date & Time Formatting
+
+Log4j has historically provided custom date and time formatters for 
performance, such as
+link:javadoc/log4j-core/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/util/datetime/FixedDateFormat.html[`FixedDateFormat`]
 and
+link:javadoc/log4j-core/org/apache/logging/log4j/core/util/datetime/FastDateFormat.html[`FastDateFormat`].
+These are now deprecated in favor of Java’s standard
+https://docs.oracle.com/javase/{java-target-version}/docs/api/java/time/format/DateTimeFormatter.html[`DateTimeFormatter`].
+
+If you encounter formatting issues after upgrading—particularly with `n` or 
`x` directives—you can temporarily revert to the legacy formatters by setting 
the 
xref:manual/systemproperties.adoc#log4j2.instantFormatter[`log4j2.instantFormatter`]
 property to `legacy`.
+Please report any issues via our 
{logging-services-url}/support.html#issues\[issue tracker].
+
+[#release-notes-2-25-0-windows-ansi]
+=== ANSI Support on Windows
+
+Modern Windows versions (10 and newer) provide native ANSI escape sequence 
support.
+As a result, dependency on the outdated JAnsi 1.x library has been removed.
+For details, refer to xref:manual/pattern-layout.adoc#jansi[ANSI styling on 
Windows].
+
+[#release-notes-2-25-0-jakarta-jms]
+=== Jakarta JMS Appender
+
+A Jakarta-compatible version of the 
xref:manual/appenders/message-queue.adoc#JmsAppender[JMS Appender] is now 
included in the core distribution.
