Some quick notes on the log4cxx side: * Build automation via Github actions makes it easy to test cross-platform(Windows/OSX/Linux) * Website documentation is in the processes of being updated to be more thorough * Website build procedure and general release procedure is now much more streamlined to make it easier to do releases * I have a prototype of using updated standard C++ libraries(C++11 and better), but that hasn't been merged in yet
