[jira] [Updated] (OFBIZ-12590) Update to log4j 2.17.2

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-12590?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael Brohl updated OFBIZ-12590:
----------------------------------
    Description: 
The Apache Log4j 2 team is pleased to announce the Log4j 2.17.2 release!

Apache Log4j is a well known framework for logging application behavior. Log4j 2 is an upgrade to Log4j that provides significant improvements over its predecessor, Log4j 1.x, and provides many other modern features such as support for Markers, lambda expressions for lazy logging, property substitution using Lookups, multiple patterns on a PatternLayout and asynchronous Loggers. Another notable Log4j 2 feature is the ability to be "garbage-free" (avoid allocating temporary objects) while logging. In addition, Log4j 2 will not lose events while reconfiguring.

The artifacts may be downloaded from https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/download.html.

This release contains the changes noted below:

    • Over 50 improvements and fixes to the Log4j 1.x support. Continued testing has shown it is a suitable replacement for Log4j 1.x in most cases.
    • Scripting now requires a system property be specified naming the languages the user wishes to allow. The scripting engine will not load if the property isn't set.
    • By default, the only remote protocol allowed for loading configuration files is HTTPS. Users can specify a system property to allow others or prevent remote loading entirely.
    • Variable resolution has been modified so that only properties defined as properties in the configuration file can be recursive. All other Lookups are now non-recursive. This addresses issues users were having resolving lookups specified in property definitions for use in the RoutingAppender and RollingFileAppender due to restrictions put in place in 2.17.1.
    • Many other fixes and improvements.

Due to a break in compatibility in the SLF4J binding, Log4j now ships with two versions of the SLF4J to Log4j adapters. log4j-slf4j-impl should be used with SLF4J 1.7.x and earlier and log4j-slf4j18-impl should be used with SLF4J 1.8.x and later. SLF4J-2.0.0 alpha releases are not fully supported. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-2975 and https://jira.qos.ch/browse/SLF4J-511.

The Log4j 2.17.2 API, as well as many core components, maintains binary compatibility with previous releases.

GA Release 2.17.2

Changes in this version include:

New Features

    • LOG4J2-3297: Limit loading of configuration via a url to https by default.
