Hi all, Due to the holiday season, work on Log4j has slowed down, but never stopped. In the past two weeks we had:
## Completed work * Jackson has been removed from the 3.x version of Log4j Core. The YAML configuration was moved to `log4j-config-yaml` (PR#2142 [1]), the rest rewritten with JsonReader. ## Ongoing work * We are continuing the big hunt for regressions in 3.x. We are analyzing module by module, cherry picking the forgotten changes. See Issue#2016[2] and Issue#2163[3] for details. ## Releases Christmas didn't stop us from releasing: * Log4j Kotlin version 1.4.0, * Log4j version 2.22.1. Thank you to all those that reviewed the release candidates. ## External activities * The OpenRewrite recipe that rewrites SLF4J to Log4j API has been accepted by the maintainers and will be published soon[4]. We could use it to rewrite Flume. * After a discussion started on our Github repo[5], EventMesh contributors are considering switching to Log4j API[6]. Till next week, Piotr [1] https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/pull/2142 [2] https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/issues/2016 [3] https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/issues/2163 [4] https://github.com/openrewrite/rewrite-logging-frameworks/pull/134 [5] https://github.com/apache/logging-log4j2/discussions/2133 [6] https://github.com/apache/eventmesh/issues/4697
