The Apache Logging Services project (http://logging.apache.org) is
happy to announce the availability of log4j version 1.2.14. In this
release, AsyncAppender was rewritten to eliminate reported deadlocks
and to provide an option to not block if the event queue becomes
full, SyslogAppender can now accept a port specification, and
SMTPAppender supports cc and bcc addresses and password
authentication. In addition, the following bugs were fixed:
40159: NullPointerException in org.apache.log4j.NDC.get.
36787: org.apache.log4j.lf5.util.DateFormatManager.setTimeZone
assignment error.
38559: Monthly logs not generated at midnight with
DailyRollingFileAppender.
40145: PatternLayout specifier %r is not consistent with documentation.
37119: Space after log level causes default level to be used.
39135: Bad patterns in ISO8601DateFormat and DateTimeDateFormat.
35743: SyslogAppender throws NullPointerException upon misconfiguration.

are set.

40501: TRACE level missing in short introduction to log4j.
37960: Update site generation to velocity 1.4 and remove dependency
on logging/site project.
It takes some time for the release to be distributed to all the
mirror servers. At the moment it is known to be available on the
devlib.org and uniontransit.com mirrors as well as the apache.org and
eu.apache.org distribution servers.
