Greetings, I am pleased to announce log4j 1.2beta3. In addition to many performance improvements, bug fixes, and other small enhancements, log4j 1.2 beta3 adds JMX support, Mapped Diagnostic Contexts, and buffered IO capability. One important change is the replacement of the Category class with Logger class and the Priority with the Level in order to facilitate migration from the JDK 1.4 logging API to log4j.
All changes except the removal of deprecated methods are backward compatible such that log4j 1.2beta3 can be considered a drop in replacement for log4j 1.1.3. Binary and source distributions are available at http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/download.html Enjoy, Ceki -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
