The following features were moved to separate artifacts: * The async logger feature was moved to `log4j-async-logger` and it was upgraded to use LMAX Disruptor 4.x. The async appender is still available by default in `log4j-core`. * The YAML configuration is available now in `log4j-config-yaml`. * The Java properties configuration was removed and replaced with a similar format based on `jackson-dataformat-properties` in a new `log4j-config-properties` artifact. Other features were removed: * Jetty 9.x users are encouraged to migrate to Jetty 10.x or later and replace `log4j-appserver` with `log4j-slf4j2-impl`. * Tomcat JULI support will be available from a third-party (cf. https://github.com/copernik-eu/log4j-plugins). * Apache Commons Logging users are encouraged to upgrade `commons-logging` to version 1.3.0 or later and remove `log4j-jcl`. * Support for the XML layout was dropped. * Support for JMX was dropped and will be replaced with a more recent technology. === Added * Add and update DSLs for setting up dependency injection for test and non-test code. (#2147) * Add a `ConfigurationExtension` mechanism to allow third-party JARs to extend the `<Configuration>` element. * Add a new properties configuration factory based on `jackson-dataformat-properties`. === Changed * Change the order of evaluation of `FormattedMessage` formatters. Messages are evaluated using `java.util.Format` only if they don't comply to the `java.text.MessageFormat` or `ParameterizedMessage` format. (#1223) * Split off async logger support into a new `log4j-async-logger` module. * Split off YAML configuration into a new `log4j-config-yaml` module. === Fixed * Rewrote message parameter formatter with improved escape handling (#1626) * The MongoDb4 appender now supports long values to configure `collectionSize` (#1747) * Mark `JdkMapAdapterStringMap` as frozen if map is immutable. (#2098) * Fix regression in `JdkMapAdapterStringMap` performance. (#2238) * Prevents ClassCastException when trying to assign a SimpleLoggerContext to a core LoggerContext (LOG4J2-1921) * Possible NullPointerException in MongoDb4DocumentObject, MongoDbDocumentObject, DefaultNoSqlObject. (LOG4J2-3392) * Fix NPE in `CloseableThreadContext`. (#1426) * Fix NPE in `RollingFileManager`. (#1645) * Fix `log4j-spring-cloud-config-client` dependencies to include only those required. (2157) * Workaround a Coursier/Ivy dependency resolution bug affecting `log4j-slf4j-impl` and `log4j-mongodb3`.
