Please download, test, and cast your votes on this mailing list. [ ] +1, release the artifacts [ ] -1, don't release, because... This vote is open until 2024-03-22 12:30 (CET) and will pass unless getting a net negative vote count. All votes are welcome and we encourage everyone to test the release, but only the Logging Services PMC votes are officially counted. At least 3 +1 votes and more positive than negative votes are required. === Timing & Differences I will keep this vote open until 2024-03-22 12:30 (CET), that is, the official end date of the RC2, since RC3 contains a minor difference: https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j-tools/compare/2bb07037bbbfe14fe1c224d46a3e4135b48ffde6...7d157b61e198e3baca816129d8d406b300436e2f === Review kit The minimum set of steps needed to review the uploaded distribution files in the Subversion repository can be summarized as follows: # Check out the distribution svn co https://dist.apache.org/repos/... && cd $_ # Verify checksums shasum --check *.sha512 # Verify signatures wget -O - https://downloads.apache.org/logging/KEYS | gpg --import for sigFile in *.asc; do gpg --verify $sigFile; done # Verify reproduciblity umask 0022 unzip *-src.zip -d src cd src export NEXUS_REPO=https://repository.apache.org/content/... sh mvnw -Prelease verify artifact:compare -Dreference.repo=$NEXUS_REPO # If preferred, augment `mvnw` with `-DskipTests` to speed things up === Release notes This release delivers the first version of Log4j Docgen (Documentation Generator). It is a set of tools to auto-generate the Log4j plugin documentation (to be integrated into the website) and the Log4j configuration XSD file (for assisting the configuration of the Log4j runtime, i.e., `log4j2.xml`) from the Log4j source code. See the project website for details. ==== Added * Add the `log4j-docgen` et al. containing a universal XML model to document Log4j plugins ==== Changed * Move Log4j Changelog XML namespace and schema location to ` https://logging.apache.org/xml/ns` and ` https://logging.apache.org/xml/ns/log4j-changelog-0.xsd`, respectively ==== Removed * Remove `author` from Log4j Changelog. It was yet another bit to maintain and created role-related (who did what) problems. Many modern software projects use a VCS (e.g., Git) and support services (e.g., GitHub) which make it trivial to trace back the origin of a change using commit and issue IDs. ==== Updated * Update `org.apache.logging:logging-parent` to version `10.6.0` * Update `jakarta.inject:jakarta.inject-api` to version `2.0.1` (#94) * Update `org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-core` to version `2.23.1` (#108) * Update `org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-plugins` to version `3.0.0-beta2` (#107) * Update `org.apache.maven.plugin-tools:maven-plugin-annotations` to version `3.11.0` (#98) * Update `org.assertj:assertj-core` to version `3.25.3` (#104) * Update `org.codehaus.modello:modello-maven-plugin` to version `2.3.0` (#105) * Update `org.junit:junit-bom` to version `5.10.2` (#103)
