It seems like a good idea to keep releasing alpha-beta-milestones (whatever we want to call these) for pre-3.0 for now. TBH, I've not even tried it in my work projects yet. I'd rather do that on a very recent alpha. It feels like our alpha1 is "old". Gary On Mon, Nov 6, 2023, 4:37 AM Piotr P.

I added @InternalApi to all the classes that were marked “consider this class private”. As for the plugins, yes, now that we’ve got that stabilized, I think that makes sense to keep stable, too. — Matt Sicker > On Nov 5, 2023, at 16:22, Ralph Goers wrote: > > > >> On Nov 5, 2023, at 2:58

I believe there is confusion here as to what level of compatibility requirements we set at the release of 3.0.0. Some remaining changes proposed for 3.x are technically breaking changes depending on the level of API stability in question. Personally, I think we should demarcate what APIs are

I should add that I am concerned that we are missing a huge opportunity with Spring 3. A lot of folks will start their migration to Spring 3 early next year. Tying Log4J 3.x to that is a big opportunity for people to upgrade at the same time. Ralph > On Nov 2, 2023, at 3:53 AM, Ralph Goers

Piotr, I haven’t committed much to 3.x since June because it already has everything I set out to do. It is everyone else who keeps adding crap that “must” be done before it can be released. Yet another year is far too long. If that is the case my vote is to skip the additional stuff. And I will
