GitHub user ppkarwasz added a comment to the discussion: Roadmap for `2.25.1`
release
The vote to release **Apache Log4j 2.25.1** has started and will remain open
for **72 hours**. We invite the community to test the release candidate to help
ensure a stable and reliable release.
## How to Participate
We encourage developers and users to verify the release artifacts **before**
they are published to Maven Central. Here’s how:
### Maven Users
Add the following to your project's `pom.xml`:
```xml
<repositories>
<!-- Always place Maven Central first to avoid overloading the Apache Nexus
instance -->
<repository>
<id>central</id>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>apache-logging-staging</id>
<url>https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachelogging-1320</url>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
```
Then, update your Log4j dependencies to version `2.25.1`.
### Gradle Users
In your `build.gradle`, add the staging repository with proper filtering:
<details>
<summary>Groovy DSL</summary>
```groovy
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {
name = "apacheLoggingStaging"
url =
uri("https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachelogging-1320";)
content {
includeGroup "org.apache.logging"
includeGroup "org.apache.logging.log4j"
}
}
}
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>Kotlin DSL</summary>
```kotlin
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {
name = "apacheLoggingStaging"
url =
uri("https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachelogging-1320";)
content {
includeGroup("org.apache.logging")
includeGroup("org.apache.logging.log4j")
}
}
}
```
</details>
Then, update your Log4j dependencies to version `2.25.1`.
### Reporting Results
* Run your application and test it against the release candidate
* Report any successes or issues by replying to the official [vote
thread](https://lists.apache.org/thread/yhfgs50hlwmt9hvocr47ftzd3vowvb2m) on

> [!NOTE]
> While only PMC members’ votes are binding, **community feedback is highly
> valued**—especially when it includes test results or bug reports.
Thank you for helping ensure a robust Log4j release!
