Official log4j 1.2.12 release

[Mark Womack <mw...@apache.org>]

The log4j team is proud to announce the official release of log4j 1.2.12!

This new version contains a number of bug fixes, the addition of the much 
requested TRACE level, and is compile and runtime compatible with the 
earlier JDK's 1.1 and 1.2 (this feature had been inadvertently broken in 
version 1.2.11).  Other than the addition of the TRACE level, the api is 
identical to earlier versions of 1.2.X.

You can download version 1.2.12 from:

http://logging.apache.org/site/binindex.cgi

The log4j team expects this to be the last release for the log4j 1.2.X 
series.  Focus is now going to be applied to completing the long awaited 
version 1.3 which will have a number of additions and improvements (early 
alpha versions are also available at the above link).

Thank you for your continued support!
