RE: abandoned?

2010-05-03 Thread Roy Chastain
I would love to see a new release with the current code and all
fixes/enhancements built-in.  There are a couple of changes in the
change database that I would like to have, but I have never been able to
use the tools to apply them to the current codebase.

After that is completed, a new 2.x release targeting the 2.x runtime or
higher would be a great thing to have.

You're right. But for now I would leave out the generics. It is likely
more urgent that log4net works with .NET 4.0 right now because a lot of
people (like us) plan a UI rewrite with XAML in the next few months. I
sense this as the main stream of .NET in the near future.

Ron talked about taking advantage of generics in the API which would be
a breaking change.  Otherwise I agree with you that changing the major
version shouldn't be required.

AW: abandoned?

2010-05-03 Thread Dominik Psenner
Good news that maybe something is moving on. My last note regarding .net 4.0
support was never answered and just resides somewhere in the history of
February (see:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/logging-log4net-dev/201002.mbox/%3C
bc2abb510f3f405f9be041b89be06...@alpin.local%3e ).

I agree with a minor release (1.3 or so) that marks the currently stable
codebase.

But as long there are no breaking API changes needed to get log4net running
with .net4.0 I would not target it as a major release, but more or less a
1.4.x.

Greetings,
d.

+1

You may even consider to change the major version with the refactoring,
i.e. release a 1.1 compatible log4net 1.2.x soon and call the .NET 2.0+
version log4net 2.x

yes please, drop 1.1 - its so 7 or so years ago...

before any major refactor is done to require .net 2.0 can a new
release be made, there is a lot of stuff in trunk that would heal some
pain.

cheers.

Its not dead. I read the mailing list every day and the mailing list does a 
decent job of answering questions. I think the current code base is stable and 
extensible.

I had intended to get another release out to support 1.1 but I think that 
opportunity has passed now that 4.0 has been released. If we don't want to 
support 1.1 anymore we can start to migrate the code to generics and target 
.NET 2.0 as the base.

I hope you are not - if you look at the JIRA issues those get addressed,
likewise questions on this and the user list do get answered.
Unfortunately there hasn't been any coding action in four months.

What the problem needs most IMHO is a new release (and I'd be glad to
help out if I can).

> Can I participate in the development as a developer?

Make yourself familiar with <http://logging.apache.org/guidelines.html>.

Anybody can participate by asking or answering questions, finding or
fixing bugs, suggesting or implementing new features.  The preferred
channels are the mailing lists and JIRA.

In Apache projects, if you stick around long enough and provide enough
patches the committers usually get tired of applying your patches and
you become a committer yourself.

Cheers
