log4cxx version

[Brendan Miller <ca...@catphive.net>]

I'm starting a new project and need to know what log4cxx version I
should use, or if I should use a different log4c*

The front page indicates that the current "stable" version has major
problems. What about cvs head? Is that in a usable state, and if I
check it out will I be able to upgrade easily to the next released
version without interface changes?

Thanks

This topic comes up quite frequently on this list, so you could check  
the archives for previous discussions on the usability of SVN HEAD.

I believe the SVN HEAD is in a usable state at the moment.   Apache  
Gump builds log4cxx nightly and runs unit tests and has not had a  
problem for a while.

There will be likely a lot of activity in the next few weeks to  
prepare a release candidate, so there may be moments where the build  
is unintentionally broken.  I don't expect any substantial breaking  
changes between now and release, but I can't promise that there won't  
be any.
