Does this imply that multi-threaded logging does NOT work?  We're running 
an
app (production) that is using log4cxx from about 10 different worker 
threads.  Mostly

So does this imply that

Unless you are immediately jumping into multithreaded logging I would 
recommend using the CVS HEAD over 0.9.7.  Currently the synchronization 
and thread-local stuff is stubbed out.

The next release will look almost exactly like the current CVS, but 
with more features fleshed out and tested.  I've added a task to Jira 
(http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOGCXX-62) to track the issues 
that are blocking (at least in my opinion) the release.  Please feel 
free to add additional issues or petition to have issues reduced from 
blocking status.

The CVS HEAD is now being build and tested daily by Gump (Ant build 
only) and any breakage will result in an nag message to the mailing 
list.

I know that some things (like NDC::clone) are commented out and the 
threading unit cases haven't been ported from log4cxx.  It is an area 
that I don't believe is adequately tested in the test suite, so it is 
hard for me to make recommendations to use the CVS HEAD if that is an 
area of significant concern.  Good to know that it is working for you 
and I'll see what I can do to get the log4j threading tests ported 
over.
