Log4Net 1.1.1 Documentation?
Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a copy of the Log4Net 1.1 Manual? I found the API documentation in the ZIP file, but that isn't very helpful for a newbie like me trying to learn how to use and configure Log4Net. Also, I found the Log4Net 1.2 Manual online, but I'm not sure what all the differences are between 1.1.1 and 1.2. The reason I'm using 1.1.1 is that the product I'm working on is a commercial product, and so far as I know 1.1.1 is the most recent non-Beta release available. I don't feel comfortable using a beta version of anything in a commercial software product.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

We've been using 1.2.9 beta in production web enviroments with 0 issues.
One of the design features of Log4Net is that it fails silently. In other
words, if it has a bug, it won't crash your app, it just won't log as
expected. This can be a bit maddening when you've set up a config file
wrong, but it beats the alternative.

I used 1.2.0 beta 8 in a highly-critical production environment that must be
up 24/7 and recently we switched to 1.2.9. The application software uses
log4net from both a .NET client application (XP and Windows 2003 Server
machines), web services (under IIS running on Windows 2003 Server) and
windows services. Appenders used are RollingLog, SMTP (even if it is
missing a config setting or two, grr) and EventLogger. Plus we have a
couple of client-side appenders, namely a MessageBox one. And to add in
another potential problem/bottleneck/etc. we use custom a
ILog/LogImpl/LogManager that implements some more logging levels, adds in
static configuration methods.
So far we have no zero issues associated with log4net. I'm fairly confident
we stress log4net quite handily.
Unfortunately that can't be said for some other 3rd party software or server
products.

I realize that it is an old release, but I still am very hesitant to consider using a beta release in a commercial product. If it is stable, then why hasn't there been a general release? It seems a little odd to me to go that long without a general release, even if it is an open-source product. Version 1.1.1 seems to have everything that we really need, although the ADO.NET appender would be nice.

Log4net 1.1.1 was released in 2002. Its over 4 years old. Don't use
that. A lot of people consider 1.2.0 beta 8 and anything after that
(1.2.9 beta, and the recently announced 1.2.10) to be stable.
The documentation on the log4net website is for 1.2.9 beta.
I recommend coding against the download on this page:
