-The Apache Log4j 2 team is pleased to announce the Log4j 2.0-rc1 release!
+The Apache Log4j 2 team is pleased to announce the Log4j 2.0-rc2 release!
Apache log4j is a well known framework for logging application behavior. Log4j 2 is an upgrade to
Log4j that provides significant improvements over its predecessor, Log4j 1.x, and provides
many of the improvements available in Logback while fixing some inherent problems in Logback's
architecture.
-This is the eleventh release of Log4j 2 and is being made available to encourage use and feedback from the community.
+It is the Log4j team's intention that this will be the final release candidate Log4j 2 before general availability and
+is being made available to encourage use and feedback from the community.
Bug fixes and enhancements
-This release contains several changes that break binary and backwards compatibility with previous versions. Please read
-the release notes correctly so that you can adjust your usage of Log4j 2, if necessary.
-

Fixed Bugs:

-o LOG4J2-531: Fixed bugs where rolled log files were overwritten by RollingFile appender with
- composite time and size based policies. Thanks to Geoff Ballinger.
-o LOG4J2-475: Changed the MongoDBConnection to add a MongoDB encoding hook instead of a decoding hook. Thanks to Matt Sicker.
-o LOG4J2-489: Fixed the JPAAppender's overuse of transactions by connecting (borrowing from pool) on new write internal or on
- flush.
-o LOG4J2-457: Fixed failure of JDBC and JPA appender to properly release database connections by connecting (borrowing from
- pool) on new write internal or on flush.
-o LOG4J2-442: Fixed problem with JDBC and JPA appender connectivity in WebSphere by connecting (borrowing from pool) on new
- write internal or on flush.
-o LOG4J2-438: Ensured the JDBCAppender commits transactions after a single write or a flush of multiple writes.
-o LOG4J2-407: Fixed inability to recover from lost database connection in database appenders by connecting (borrowing from
- pool) on new write internal or on flush.
-o LOG4J2-511: Stop AsyncLoggerConfig Disruptor thread(s), then AsyncAppender thread(s) first
- before stopping other appenders. Thanks to James Pretorius.
-o LOG4J2-392: Stop AsyncLoggerConfig Disruptor thread(s), then AsyncAppender thread(s) first
- before stopping other appenders. Thanks to ilynaf, Andre Bogus.
-o LOG4J2-345: (OSGi) logging.log4j-1.2-api doesn't export the log4j API 1.2. Dependent bundles can not be resolved. Thanks to Roland Weiglhofer, Matt Sicker.
-o LOG4J2-523: LocalizedMessage serialization is broken.
-o LOG4J2-385: Fixed issues with time-based file rollover (monthly, weekly, hourly and every minute). Thanks to Ace Funk, Porfirio Partida.
-o LOG4J2-452: Added a ServletContext attribute that, when set to "true", disables Log4j's auto-initialization in
- Servlet 3.0+ web applications.
-o LOG4J2-512: Exposed Log4j web support interface and methods and the LoggerContext through ServletContext attributes
- so that threads not affected by filters (such as asynchronous threads) can utilize the LoggerContext. Also
- updated the Log4j filter so that it supports async. Thanks to Chandra Sekhar Kakarla, Matt Sicker.
-o LOG4J2-409: Created a utility to properly escape backslashes before creating URIs, and changed URI creation to use the
- utility instead of instantiating URI directly. Thanks to Frank Steinmann, Thomas Neidhart.
-o LOG4J2-344: Changed the Servlet 3.0 auto-initializer to add the filter by class to get around a WebLogic bug. Thanks to Keir Lawson, Tomasz Wladzinski.
-o LOG4J2-359: Changed the Servlet 3.0 auto-initializer so that it does nothing in a Servlet 2.5 or older application. This
- ensures behavioral consistency across containers. This includes additional fixes to abort initialization if a
- duplicate filter already exists and to check the actual Servlet EFFECTIVE version. Thanks to Abhinav Shah.
-o LOG4J2-517: Switch in log4j-1.2-api Category.getEffectiveLevel has no cases for FATAL, OFF.
-o LOG4J2-406: (JMX) Unregister all log4j JMX MBeans when the LoggerContext is stopped
- to allow web application classes to be GC-ed on undeploy. Thanks to Kerrigan Joseph.

+Apache Log4j 2.0-rc2 requires a minimum of Java 6 to build and run. Basic compatibility with
Log4j 1.x is provided through the log4j-1.2-api component, however it does not implement some of the
