Chainsaw V2 has been available for over 3 years, is stable and relatively bug free.
Chainsaw V2's dependency on log4j 1.3 is that it stores logging event information internally using the log4j 1.3 LoggingEvent class. It also provides a way to define 'receivers', which first became available in log4j 1.3. Chainsaw V2 dependency on log4j 1.3 does not mean you have to use log4j 1.3 on the appender side - you can use log4j 1.2.x to send events to Chainsaw via socket appender, xml or regular file appender.

I noticed that it requires log4J version 1.3. Why is this still in alpha version and is there a release date for the final 1.3 version? Are there any problems or things I should know about given that it is an alpha version? One of my coworkers thinks we should look at other options since alpha versions are often unstable and haven't had the problems worked out yet.
