Hello, Tim has submitted a PR to fix the Windows build on master <https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/469> in February. In essence, it introduces prepareToStop() to StatusLogger. IIRC, there was a discussion regarding this subject in the mailing list. I think I have missed that. The PR looks good to me, though I'd appreciate some more context, which I've shared in my comments for the PR.
I will appreciate it if somebody else who has more knowledge on StatusLogger can also skim through the changes. It is not much and should be straightforward for somebody who has hacked on StatusLogger recently. Cheers!
