20th of August 2007 - Release of version 0.9.8
This version of logback syncronizes with SLF4J version 1.4.3. In
particular, logback now natively supports SLF4J's MDC API introduced
in SLF4J version 1.4.1. If you are using SLF4J version 1.4.1 or
later please make sure upgrade to logback version 0.9.8 or later.
Fixed a number of documentation releated bugs, in particular bug 90 reported
by Luc Maisonobe and bug 88 reported
by Sebastian Davids.
It is now possible to include configuration file fragments (in
XML) as a resource. Previously, it was only possible to include a
file by specifying a path to a file or a URL. This feature was
requested by Michael Newcomb in bug 89.
Fixed caller data extraction problem as reported in bug 78 by Hans
van der Meer.
The LoggingEvent class' constructor now correctly takes into
account the argument array passed by the user. This problem was
reported in bug
85 by Robert Christian.
29th of May 2007 - Release of version 0.9.7
This release corrects packaging bugs 75 and 76 related to
the migration of logback to SLF4J version 1.4.0. There are no other
changes.
23rd of May 2007 - Release of version 0.9.6
Logback is now aligned and compatible with SLF4J version 1.4.0,
thus correcting bug 73 as
reported by Andy Gerweck.
Fixed NoClassDefFoundError problem when running
under JDK 1.4 as
reported by Brian Suksomwong.
Fixed bug
63 as reported by La Canea Rosario. Calling log4j (bridge) with
the trace level will no longer cause an IllegalStateException to be
thrown.
Fixed bug
70 as reported by Dirk Ooms. The %throwable conversion word is
now recognized as documented in the logback manual. Moreover, the
manual now mentions the %nopex word which can be used to force
PatternLayout to ignore the exception contained in the
logging request.
As in most releases, the documentation has been improved.
April 2nd, 2007 - Release of version 0.9.5
Fixed methods isInfoEnabled,
isWarnEnabled and isErrorEnabled methods
in ch.qos.logback.classic.Logger class which failed to
work correctly. This bug was reported today by Pavel Kral on the
slf4j-user list.
Contrary to previous versions of logback, the various
Logger.isXYZEnabled(Marker) methods now take into account the marker
information passed as parameter.
As discussed in bug 54, during
automatic initialization, it makes better sense to first check for
logback-test.xml file and only if that fails, to check for
logback.xml. Maven2 will guarantee that the
logback-test.xml file, if places undder test/resources will not be
included in the artifact it produces.
March 29th, 2007 - Release of version 0.9.4
Significant bug fixes made to c.q.l.access.TeeFilter
and Co. Images and other binary files are now intercepted and
replayed correctly. As for "x-www-form-urlencoded" post requests,
their input buffer is left untouched. In a best-effort attempt, the
input buffer for "x-www-form-urlencoded" post requests is later
reconstructed through the request parameters. However, it may differ
from the original buffer.
The logback team released today the first version of a plugin for
Eclipse that allows developpers to visualize logs generated by a
running application. It offers several nice features. Please check
the console plugin-in guide for
more details.
March 20th, 2007 - Release of version 0.9.3
Includes in configuration files are now supported by Joran,
logback's configuration framework. A file can contain an
include element that has a file or url
attribute pointing to a configuration file. See the chapter about configuration
in the logback's online manual for more information.
Corrected bug 53 reported by Wilkins Poe. There is now a dependencies page that shows the
requirements of each of logback's modules.
After a
discussion on the SLF4J mailing list started by Franck Routier,
a correction has been made when logging using the
JCL104-over-slf4j module. Logback now correctly shows the
caller location information.
As in most logback releases, the documentation has been improved.
March 5th, 2007 - Release of version 0.9.2
The documentation is now in the docs/ directory to allow an
easier access to the logback manual and website for offline viewing.
March 5th, 2007 - Release of version 0.9.1
Logback-class now depends on SLF4J version 1.3.0 instead of
1.2.
Numerous improvements to the documentation.
Bug #46
reported by Mark Renyolds has been fixed. The
TimeUtilTest should now run fine under any time
zone.
Bug
#45, also reported by Mark Reynolds, has been fixed. There
should be no ClassCastException thrown anymore when
passing an Object to the printing methods using the
log4j-bridge module.
January 31st, 2007 - Release of version 0.9
This version contains a new component, namely the
ContextSelector, that provides context separation

under the same server. A new chapter was added to

ContextSelector, along with its associated
components.
The JMXConfigurator has been improved. It now shows
