on the target file name. Thanks to Remko Popma.
o LOG4J2-150: Convert all System.getProperty calls to use PropertiesUtil to
suppress SecurityExceptions.
o LOG4J2-147: ThreadContextMapFilter was matching on the key instead of the
value of the key. Thanks to William Burns.

Severtson.

specified. The protocol will default
to TCP for the SocketAppender and UDP for the SyslogAppender.
o LOG4J2-140: Typo in documentation of SocketAppender. Thanks to Joern

logs at ERROR level.
o LOG4J2-129: RoutingAppender was only creating a single appender for the
default Route.
o LOG4J2-126: Allow JMS appenders to recover if the queue or topic is
unavailable.
o LOG4J2-127: AbstractLogger methods were not passing Markers to the isEnabled
methods.

specified.
o LOG4J2-111: Enhanced javadoc copyright statement.
o LOG4J2-120: TCPSocketManager would fail if the initial connection could not
be established.
o LOG4J2-119: A broken socket connection would cause the TCPSocketManager to
continuously reconnect.
o LOG4J2-123: The example for ThreadContextMapFilter was incorrect. Thanks to
Olivier Lamy.
o LOG4J2-116: File renaming was using the wrong date value. Enhanced
DefaultRolloverStrategy to store newest files in
highest index as well as lowest.
o LOG4J2-115: ThreadContext Map elements with null values are now ignored when
constructing a Flume event and in the
RFC5424 Layout.
o LOG4J2-113: StructuredDataFilter createFilter was annotated with PluginAttr
instead of PluginElement for the
KeyValuePairs.
o LOG4J2-114: StructuredDataMessage was validating the length of the values in
the event Map instead of the lengths
of the keys. Thanks to Arkin Yetis.
Changes:
o LOG4J2-136: Allow newlines to be escaped in Syslog and RFC5424 layouts.
