Here is a status for bugs regarding logging:

#10818 [logging] Add method enter() and exit() methods to public Log API
#21114 [logging] Create Log factory method getLog()
- These involve changing the public API, so it's not something we can do in a point release. Should these be marked as LATER in bugzilla?


#25156 [logging] Enhance error message for "org.apache.commons.logging.impl.Log4JLogger does not implement Log"
- This seems to me to be similar to #26598


#25940 [logging] SimpleLog.java adds extra - characters
- This one's mine. There is a patch available for this one that is pretty starightforward. The format of the log message needed some work.


#26598 [logging] org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl does not provide enough information on an InvocationTargetException in the newInstance() method.
- This is something that has to be decided on. It involves catching an extra Exception to provide a better error-message. Code that shows how to do it is available in the bugreport.


#27135 [logging] SimpleLog log method should defer writing for better reuse!
- This is something for the architects to decide. The key question here is whether subclassing SimpleLog should be allowed.



Other things that needs to be done:


* I guess someone has to update all the files to the new licence.
* I proofread the mavenized user guide earlier from a syntactic perspective. Someone should read it form the semantic perspective.

dennis seems to have been doing a good job going through the bugs. dennis: could you post a status report for the bugs? (stuff like)

the web site is in transition to the mavenized version. i think that we need to complete this for we cut the release. we probably need to find some time to proofread the mavenized user guide. if no one jumps in and volunteers for this job, i'll take a look sometime early next week. the other issue is that i cannot build the commons website (in order to remove the links to the old site) at the moment. i'll try to get on top of this issue soon.

there are some features i've been wanting to add for a while now but they'll probably wait until after this release. anyone else have any critical features that they really want in?

What are the plans for upcoming releases of commons-logging?

The reason I'm asking is that we would like to start using commons-logging in an applet environment. We plan on using the SimpleLog implementation to minimize the size of the download to the client. The current (1.0.3) release doesn't work in an untrusted applet. There is a patch that fixes this problem already in cvs though.

There are currently 8 open bugs for commons-logging in bugzilla. Two of them includes patches by yours truly (25940 and 27124). I think that 4 of the remaining bugs (26802, 25156, 26598, 27135) should also be considered for a 1.0.4 release. However I don't yet feel confident enough with the inner workings of commons-logging to make patches for them.

What are your thoughts on making a commons-logging 1.0.4 release?
