Thanks for confirming it.

Release 2.24.1 is available on Maven Central and you can update right
now. We are having some INFRA problems with a frozen website, so the
official announcement will appear only when the website update is
online.

== Release Notes

This release contains mainly bug fixes of problems encountered with
the thread context map, logger registry and configuration reloading.

It also enhances integration tests to use Docker images of the most
recent releases of MongoDB and Elastic Search.

=== Changed

* Rework `LoggerRegistry` to make it `MessageFactory`-namespaced.

  This effectively allows loggers of same name, but different message 
factory. (#2936)

* Enable Docker-based tests in CI for JSON Template Layout (#2953)

=== Fixed

* Switch MongoDB tests to use Docker. (#2229)
* Fix reloading of the configuration from an HTTP(S) source (#2937)
* Fix `putAll()` in the default thread context map implementation (#2942)

=== Updated

* Update `org.apache.logging:logging-parent` to version `11.3.0`
