The Apache log4net team is pleased to announce the release of Apache
log4net 2.0.6.  The release is available for download at

        https://logging.apache.org/log4net/download_log4net.cgi

as well as via nuget

        https://www.nuget.org/packages/log4net/

The Apache log4net library is a tool to help the programmer output log
statements to a variety of output targets.  log4net is a port of the
excellent Apache log4j framework to the Microsoft(R) .NET runtime.

The Apache log4net team is now responsible for the nuget package, we've
changed the version number of this release to align the version
numbers. Release 2.0.6 is supposed to be compatible with 1.2.15.

The binary distributions no longer contain assemblies built for the .NET
Framework 1.x or Mono 1.x - you can build those yourself using the
source distribution.

Starting with 2.0.6 .NET Core - or more precisely .NET Standard 1.3 -
has become a supported platform. Please note that several features of
log4net are not available when using the .NET Core version, in
particular the following are not supported in the assembly for .NET
Standard:

* the ADO.NET appender
* anything related to ASP.NET (trace appender and several pattern
  converters)
* .NET Remoting
* log4net.LogicalThreadContext and the associated properties and stack
  classes
* the colored console appender
* the event log appender
* The NetSendAppender
* The SMTP appender
* DOMConfigurator
* stack trace patterns
* access to appSettings (neither the log4net section itself nor using
  the AppSettingsPatternConverter)
* Access to "special paths" using the
  EnvironmentFolderPathPatternConverter
* Impersonation of Windows accounts
