>> • LOG4J2-3194: Allow fractional attributes for size attribute of
>> SizeBsaedTriggeringPolicy. Thanks to markuss.
>> • LOG4J2-2978: Add support for Jakarta EE 9 (Tomcat 10 / Jetty 11)
>> Thanks to Michael Seele.
>> • LOG4J2-3189: Improve NameAbbreviator worst-case performance.
>> • LOG4J2-3170: Make CRLF/HTML encoding run in O(n) worst-case
>> time, rather than O(n^2). Thanks to Gareth Smith.
>> • LOG4J2-3133: Add missing slf4j-api singleton accessors to
>> log4j-slf4j-impl (1.7) StaticMarkerBinder and StaticMDCBinder. This doesn't
>> impact behavior or correctness, but avoids throwing and catching
>> NoSuchMethodErrors when slf4j is initialized and avoids linkage linting
>> warnings.
>> • LOG4J2-2885: Add support for US-style date patterns and
>> micro/nano seconds to FixedDateTime. Thanks to Markus Spann.
>> • LOG4J2-3116: Add JsonTemplateLayout for Google Cloud Platform
>> structured logging layout.
>> • LOG4J2-3067: Add CounterResolver to JsonTemplateLayout.
>> • LOG4J2-3074: Add replacement parameter to
>> ReadOnlyStringMapResolver.
>> • LOG4J2-3051: Add CaseConverterResolver to JsonTemplateLayout.
>> • LOG4J2-3064: Add Arbiters and SpringProfile plugin.
>> • LOG4J2-3056: Refactor MD5 usage for sharing sensitive
>> information. Thanks to Marcono1234.
>> • LOG4J2-3004: Add plugin support to JsonTemplateLayout.

>> • LOG4J2-3049: Allow MapMessage and ThreadContext attributes to be
>> prefixed.
>> • LOG4J2=3048: Add improved MapMessge support to GelfLayout.
>> • LOG4J2-3044: Add RepeatPatternConverter.
>> • LOG4J2-2940: Context selectors are aware of their dependence
>> upon the callers ClassLoader, allowing basic context selectors to avoid the
>> unnecessary overhead of walking the stack to determine the caller's
>> ClassLoader.
>> • LOG4J2-2940: Add BasicAsyncLoggerContextSelector equivalent to
>> AsyncLoggerContextSelector for applications with a single LoggerContext.
>> This selector avoids classloader lookup overhead incurred by the existing
>> AsyncLoggerContextSelector.
>> • LOG4J2-3041: Allow a PatternSelector to be specified on
>> GelfLayout.
>> • LOG4J2-3141: Avoid ThreadLocal overhead in
>> RandomAccessFileAppender, RollingRandomAccessFileManager, and
>> MemoryMappedFileManager due to the unused setEndOfBatch and isEndOfBatch
>> methods. The methods on LogEvent are preferred.
>> • LOG4J2-3144: Prefer string.getBytes(Charset) over
>> string.getBytes(String) based on performance improvements in modern Java
>> releases.
>> • LOG4J2-3171: Improve PatternLayout performance by reducing
>> unnecessary indirection and branching.
>>
>> Fixed Bugs
>>
>> • LOG4J2-3201: Limit the protocols JNDI can use by default. Limit

>> Thanks to Nikita Mikhailov.

>> • LOG4J2-3150: RandomAccessFile appender uses the correct default
>> buffer size of 256 kB rather than the default appender buffer size of 8 kB.
>> • LOG4J2-3142: log4j-1.2-api implements

>> • LOG4J2-3102: Fix a regression in 2.14.1 which allowed the
