Re: [VOTE] Release Log4Net 1.2.13 based on RC2
+1 with following questions/remarks: no build for .NET 4.5, but I assume this was already discussed before and is planned for a subsequent release do we position “net” binaries as targeting only MS .NET, or are they suppose to be cross-CLR / cross-platform? Van: Stefan Bodewig Verzonden: zondag 10 november 2013 9:54 Aan: log4net-dev@logging.apache.org, gene...@logging.apache.org Hi all, per discussion of the last few days we intend to cut a final(?) release from the 1.2.x branch fixing some problems with the ILog extensions and compilation for the compact framework. log4net 1.2.13 RC2 is available for review here: https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/logging/log4net (revision 3469) Details of changes since 1.2.12 are in the release notes: http://logging.apache.org/log4net/log4net-1.2.13/release/release-notes.html (note, I've already committed the site ot the live system but it is not reachable by any links - the 1.2.12 site is the one shown by default) I have tested this with Mono and several .NET frameworks using NAnt.

Great to see you here, Gert!

Without that the 2.0 version worked just fine. In a similiar vain the 4.0 version is supposed to be well suited for 4.5 and we'd only add special builds when needed. Targeting WinRT would require quite a bit of work. Technically, NAnt doesn't support 4.5, yet, which is a hurdle. Also AFAIU I wouldn't be able to target 4.0 on a machine with 4.5 installed as it is an in-place update so building the release would require two different Windows installations. do we position “net” binaries as targeting only MS .NET, or are they suppose to be cross-CLR / cross-platform? The trunk of log4net (targeting log4net 1.3.x and dropping support for .NET 1.x) uses the exact same source code to compile the net/2.0 and mono/2.0 assemblies, there is no specific MONO define used right now. As long as your version of Mono is recent enough (2.10 works well) the net binaries should work fine. I intend to add builds for mono-3.5 and 4.0 (based on Mono 2.10 as NAnt has problems with Mono 3.x) to verify the newer assemblies work for them as well. The goal is to keep platform dependenencies to a minimum but also accept them when needed - i.e. we wouldn't rule out supporting a certain feature just because it wasn't supported on all platforms.

Stefan, Thanks for the feedback, and thank you and Dominic for breathing new life into log4net! Professionally I’m back to working with a .NET technology stack, so I’ll also try find time to contribute to .NET OSS projects again.

+1 Note: i have no Windows machine and was not able to verify building or other technical checks.
