- Attention: .NET 3.5 Client Profile is no longer supported. I'm really sorry, I've tried - to keep as many of the legacy targets available as possible, but after spending another 4 or so - hours trying to get net35-client to build on any machine, I've given up - as far as I'm aware, - this should only affect Windows XP clients. I'm afraid 2.0.14 was the end of the road for you. - - Apache log4net 2.0.15 addresses reported issues: -
-
    -
  • Improper usage of xml namespacing for netfx targets after a netstandard update ( - LOG4NET-685, - related LOG4NET-683)
    • -
  • Locking hashtables during write in RenderMap calls to make them thread-safe ( - LOG4NET-646)

Renamed namespaces

-

- Renamed namespace log4net.spi to - log4net.Core. - Renamed namespace log4net.helpers to - log4net.Util. -

-

Renamed config classes and attributes

-

- In the log4net.Config namespace the - DOMConfigurator, - DOMConfiguratorAttribute, DomainAttribute, - and AliasDomainAttribute have been marked as obsolete. These types are - still available and functional in this release. -

-

- The XmlConfigurator and - XmlConfiguratorAttribute - types replace DOMConfigurator and - DOMConfiguratorAttribute. The - RepositoryAttribute - and AliasRepositoryAttribute types replace - DomainAttribute - and AliasDomainAttribute. -

-

Fixed pascal casing of type names

-

- Renamed AdoNetAppender, AspNetTraceAppender, - SmtpAppender, Iso8601DateFormatter, - MdcFilter, and NdcFilter. - Note that the config file type resolver is case insensitive so this is only a breaking change - for code that programmatically creates a type that has been renamed. -

-

Layouts changed to stream their output to a - TextWriter -

-

- Layouts have been changed to format their output to a - TextWriter - rather than return a string. This increases performance and reduces temporary object creation. -

-

C style string escapes no longer supported by config parser

-

- The XML config parser no longer supports decoding C style escape sequences in strings. - Previously sequences like \n and - \\ - where decoded. Instead use the appropriate XML encodings as required. -

-
- -
-

New CLI build

-

- A new log4net assembly is built that targets all CLI 1.0 compatible runtimes. - This build is essentially a common subset of the Mono 1.0 and .NET 1.0 builds. - It is built using the MS .NET 1.0 compiler and libraries but does not use any - platform specific APIs. -

-

- This build is only available in release configuration and can be found at - bin\cli\1.0\release. -

-

Logging contexts

-

- Logging contexts can be used to record contextual data that is relevant to the current - process. Logging contexts are both an extension of the concepts embodied in the - MDC - and NDC and a replacement for - them. The MDC and NDC have been - reimplemented to use the ThreadContext as storage. -

-

- The logging contexts provide a single unified view that cuts across different - scopes within an application. - The contexts are layered in the following order of narrowing scope: - GlobalContext, ThreadContext, - LogicalThreadContext, and LoggingEvent. - Context values specified in a narrower scope hide the matching value in a wider scope. -

-

- PatternLayout - customization and long pattern names -

-

- The PatternLayout now supports long pattern names. - These pattern names are significantly more readable than the single character patterns. -

-

- The PatternLayout now supports custom patterns. New patterns - can be defined in the config file: -

-
- 
-                            <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
-
-                            <converter>
-                            <name value="myConverter" />
-                            <type value="TestApp.MyPatternConverter, TestApp" />
-                            </converter>
-
-                            <conversionPattern value="%-5level %logger - %myConverter - %message%newline" />
-                            </layout>
-
-
-

- The above config defines a custom pattern called - myConverter - which is bound to the - TestApp.MyPatternConverter, TestApp - type. This type must extend the - log4net.Util.PatternConverter - base class. The custom pattern can then be used in the pattern string. -

+
+ Attention: Starting with 3.0.0 we only support the followeing target frameworks +
    +
  • net462
    • +
  • netstandard2.0
    • +
+ The reasoning for this change can be found in Dropping support for older runtimes + + Apache log4net 3.0.0 addresses reported issues: +
+ +
+
+ +
+
+
+ Attention: .NET 3.5 Client Profile is no longer supported. I'm really sorry, I've tried + to keep as many of the legacy targets available as possible, but after spending another 4 or so + hours trying to get net35-client to build on any machine, I've given up - as far as I'm aware, + this should only affect Windows XP clients. I'm afraid 2.0.14 was the end of the road for you. + + Apache log4net 2.0.15 addresses reported issues: +
+
    +
  • + Improper usage of xml namespacing for netfx targets after a netstandard update ( + LOG4NET-685, + related LOG4NET-683) +
    • +
  • + Locking hashtables during write in RenderMap calls to make them thread-safe ( + LOG4NET-646) +
    • +
  • + An issue where RollingFilAppender would sometimes overwrite files instead of rolling them ( + LOG4NET-672) +
    • +
+
+
+ +
+
+
+ Apache log4net 2.0.14 is a minor release to address some reported issues + and accept a pull request provided by a community member: +
+
    +
  • + Pull request by @NicholasNoise to address issues with logging via ado appender to PostgreSQL +
    • +
  • Community request to correctly handle null data in ReadOnlyPropertiesDictionary
    • +
  • + Pull request by @erikma to use the numeric thread id for .net worker pool threads + (LOG4NET-680) +
    • +
  • + Pull request by @erikma to dispose of WindowsIdentity retrieved in TryGetCurrentUserName() + (LOG4NET-671) +
    • +
+
+
+
+ Apache log4net 2.0.13 is a minor release to address some reported issues + and accept some pull requests provided by community members: +
+
    +
  • + Addresses issue [LOG4NET-583] with proposed solution by Emmo Emminghaus, + namely to provide an unique mutex identifier for the file rolling logic. +
    • +
  • + Accepts pull request 76 by @dschwartzni + to allow the netstandard2.0 library to be used within net472 web services +
    • +
  • + Accepts pull request 18 by @dmarlow + to update the xml layout mimicking log4j +
    • +
+
+
+
+

+ Apache log4net 2.0.12 is a minor fix release to address reported issues on + non-windows platforms. +

+
+
    +
  • + Addresses the issues reported in + [LOG4NET-652] + and [LOG4NET-653] whereby + logging could throw a PlatformNotSupported exception when the username + is required within logs on non-Windows platforms. The implemented + behavior is to fall back, where possible, on Environment.UserName + or provide text that the facility is not supported. +
    • +
+
+
+
+ Apache log4net 2.0.11 fixes incorrect version strings within the released + binaries and contains some minor fixes to correctly dispose of StreamWriters + used during log flushing, thanks to community member @NicholasNoise +
+
+

+ Apache log4net 2.0.10 improves netstandard2.0 support + thanks to community member @NicholasNoise. +

+
+
    +
  • + [LOG4NET-575] + Addresses CVE-2018-1285 by cherry-picking the fix from + Dominik Psenner, reported by Karthik Balasundaram, as it already + existed in the the develop branch +
    • +
+
+
+ +
+

+ Apache log4net 2.0.9 adds netstandard2.0 support + and restructures the project to enable easier build as well as build + at AppVeyer. Project files have been updated to the modern Sdk format. +

+
+
    +
  • + [LOG4NET-559] Add null + checkes to avoid issues thrown by custom appenders +
    • +
  • + [LOG4NET-563] Site styling + copied from log4j +
    • +
+
+
+
+

+ Apache log4net 2.0.8 fixes a + LockRecursionException + that could happen + inside the FileAppender under certain + circumstances. It also adds support for + LogicalThreadContext + to the .NET Standard + build based on AsyncLocal rather than + CallContext. +

+ +
+
    +
  • + [LOG4NET-466] - "LockRecursionException: + A read lock may not be acquired with the write lock held in this mode." exception +
    • +
  • + [LOG4NET-550] - Logging + recursively from an Appender not supported for NET_4_0 and MONO_4_0 +
    • +
  • + [LOG4NET-551] - + LockRecursionException when using File Appenders +
    • +
  • + [LOG4NET-554] - + LogicalThreadContext was removed in .NETStandard +
    • +
+
+ +
+
    +
  • + [LOG4NET-553] - + DebugAppender + configuration should give the possibility to disable outputting loggerName as category +
    • +
+
+
+ +
+

+ Apache log4net 2.0.7 fixes a glitch in nuget packaging and + is otherwise identical to 2.0.6 (apart from the copyright + year and assembly version). If you are not using the nuget + package there is no reason to upgrade. +

+ +
+
    +
  • + [LOG4NET-540] - nuget + dependencies for .NET Standard leak into net46 +
    • +
+
+
+ +
+ +

+ 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, see + framework + support + for details. +

+ log4net 1.2.11 is not only a bugfix release, it also + adds support for Microsoft® .NET 4.0 as well as the client profiles + of .NET 3.5 and .NET 4.0. +

+ +

+ Starting with this release log4net uses a new strong + name key but we also provide a binary distribution using + the "old" strong name key of log4net 1.2.10 and earlier. + See the FAQ for details. +

+ +

+ The binary distributions no longer contain assemblies + built for the Compact Framework 1.0 or the Shared Source + CLI - you can build those yourself using the source + distribution. +

+ +
+

+ The signature of + ILoggerFactory.CreateLogger + has changed. +

+

Renamed namespaces

+

+ Renamed namespace log4net.spi to + log4net.Core + . + Renamed namespace log4net.helpers to + log4net.Util + . +

+

Renamed config classes and attributes

+

+ In the log4net.Config namespace the + DOMConfigurator + , + DOMConfiguratorAttribute, DomainAttribute, + and AliasDomainAttribute have been marked as obsolete. These types are + still available and functional in this release. +

+

+ The XmlConfigurator and + XmlConfiguratorAttribute + types replace DOMConfigurator and + DOMConfiguratorAttribute. The + RepositoryAttribute + and AliasRepositoryAttribute types replace + DomainAttribute + and AliasDomainAttribute. +

+

Fixed pascal casing of type names

+

+ Renamed AdoNetAppender, AspNetTraceAppender, + SmtpAppender, Iso8601DateFormatter, + MdcFilter, and NdcFilter. + Note that the config file type resolver is case insensitive so this is only a breaking change + for code that programmatically creates a type that has been renamed. +

+

+ Layouts changed to stream their output to a + TextWriter +

+

+ Layouts have been changed to format their output to a + TextWriter + rather than return a string. This increases performance and reduces temporary object creation. +

+

C style string escapes no longer supported by config parser

+

+ The XML config parser no longer supports decoding C style escape sequences in strings. + Previously sequences like \n and + \\ + where decoded. Instead use the appropriate XML encodings as required. +

+
+ +
+

New CLI build

+

+ A new log4net assembly is built that targets all CLI 1.0 compatible runtimes. + This build is essentially a common subset of the Mono 1.0 and .NET 1.0 builds. + It is built using the MS .NET 1.0 compiler and libraries but does not use any + platform specific APIs. +

+

+ This build is only available in release configuration and can be found at + bin\cli\1.0\release. +

+

Logging contexts

+

+ Logging contexts can be used to record contextual data that is relevant to the current + process. Logging contexts are both an extension of the concepts embodied in the + MDC + and NDC and a replacement for + them. The MDC and NDC have been + reimplemented to use the ThreadContext as storage. +

+

+ The logging contexts provide a single unified view that cuts across different + scopes within an application. + The contexts are layered in the following order of narrowing scope: + GlobalContext, ThreadContext, + LogicalThreadContext, and LoggingEvent. + Context values specified in a narrower scope hide the matching value in a wider scope. +

+

+ PatternLayout + customization and long pattern names +

+

+ The PatternLayout now supports long pattern names. + These pattern names are significantly more readable than the single character patterns. +

+

+ The PatternLayout now supports custom patterns. New patterns + can be defined in the config file: +

+
+ 
+              <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
+
+              <converter>
+              <name value="myConverter" />
+              <type value="TestApp.MyPatternConverter, TestApp" />
+              </converter>
+
+              <conversionPattern value="%-5level %logger - %myConverter - %message%newline" />
+              </layout>
+
+
+

+ The above config defines a custom pattern called + myConverter + which is bound to the + TestApp.MyPatternConverter, TestApp + type. This type must extend the + log4net.Util.PatternConverter + base class. The custom pattern can then be used in the pattern string. +

+

+ For full details see the SDK Reference entry: - log4net.Layout.PatternLayout. -

-

- PatternString - for pattern based configuration -

-

- A new pattern based type, PatternString, can be used in - the config file to set string properties using a pattern syntax. For example the - File property of the FileAppender could be set as follows: -

-
- 
-                            <file type="log4net.Util.PatternString">
-
-                            <converter>
-                            <name value="folder" />
-                            <type value="TestApp.SpecialFolderPatternConverter,TestApp" />
-                            </converter>
-
-                            <conversionPattern value="%folder{LocalApplicationData}\log-file.txt" />
-                            </file>
-
-
-

- The code for the - SpecialFolderPatternConverter - is as follows: -

-
- 
-                            public class SpecialFolderPatternConverter : log4net.Util.PatternConverter
-                            {
-                            override protected void Convert(System.IO.TextWriter writer, object state)
-                            {
-                            Environment.SpecialFolder specialFolder =
-                            (Environment.SpecialFolder)Enum.Parse(typeof(Environment.SpecialFolder), base.Option, true);
-
-                            writer.Write(Environment.GetFolderPath(specialFolder));
-                            }
-                            }

+              </converter>
+
+              <conversionPattern value="%folder{LocalApplicationData}\log-file.txt" />
+              </file>
+
+
+

+ The code for the + SpecialFolderPatternConverter + is as follows: +

+              (Environment.SpecialFolder)Enum.Parse(typeof(Environment.SpecialFolder), base.Option, true);
+
+              writer.Write(Environment.GetFolderPath(specialFolder));
+              }
+              }
+
+

Loading configuration from a URI

-

- The XmlConfigurator methods now support loading the - configuration data from a URI. Config can be loaded from any URI supported by the - System.Net.WebRequest - class. -

-

Support for No-Touch deployment

-

- Log4net supports configuring No-Touch deployment applications using the - XmlConfiguratorAttribute. If a relative config file - or extension is specified then this is resolved relative to the deployment - URI. -

-

Config file parser enhancements

-

- The config file parser has been enhanced to support specifying the property subtype, or - intermediate - type, - directly on the property element, for example: -

-
- 
-                            <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout" value="%message%newline"
-                            />
-
-
-

- Implicit conversion will be attempted between the value string and the type specified, - and then again between the type and the target property type. -

-

.NET string formatting syntax

-

- Added .NET String.Format style formatting syntax methods to - the ILog interface. The new methods are: - DebugFormat, InfoFormat, - WarnFormat, - ErrorFormat - and FatalFormat. -

-

Customizable levels

-

- Levels are defined by the repository LevelMap. The defined - levels, the relative ordering of levels and level display names can be configured on - a per-repository basis. -

-

Per-appender security contexts

-

- Appenders that interact with controlled platform resources, e.g. files, can be - configured to use a separate security context when accessing these resources. - The calling thread may not have appropriate privileges to access the resource a - custom SecurityContext can be used to elevate the - privileges of the appender. The - WindowsSecurityContext - is used to specify alternative credentials on the Windows platform. -

-

Added new appenders

-
-
- AnsiColorTerminalAppender -
-
-

- The AnsiColorTerminalAppender writes events to - the application's ANSI terminal window. It can be configured to specify - the text and background colors for different level events. Note that Console - applications running on Windows do not have an ANSI terminal window and - should use the ColoredConsoleAppender instead. -

-
-
- LocalSyslogAppender -
-
-

- Logs events to a local syslog service. This appender uses the POSIX libc syslog - library functions. If these functions are not available on the local system then - this appender will not work! -

-
-
- RemoteSyslogAppender -
-
-

- The RemoteSyslogAppender uses the BSD syslog protocol to - log to a syslog daemon. The syslogd listens for for messages on UDP port 514. -

-
-
- TelnetAppender -
-
-

- The TelnetAppender accepts socket connections and streams - logging messages back to the client. The output is provided in a telnet-friendly way - so that a log can be monitored over a TCP/IP socket. - This allows simple remote monitoring of application logging. -

-
-
-

Added new LoggerMatchFilter filter -

-

- Added LoggerMatchFilter which matches a string against - the event's logger name. -

-

Pluggable file locking models for the - FileAppender -

-

- The FileAppender (and by extension the - RollingFileAppender) now support pluggable file - locking models. The default model, ExclusiveLock, - maintains the current exclusive file locking behavior. An alternative - model, MinimalLock, can be used to support writing to - a single output file from multiple processes. -

-

+ The TelnetAppender accepts socket connections and streams + logging messages back to the client. The output is provided in a telnet-friendly way + so that a log can be monitored over a TCP/IP socket. + This allows simple remote monitoring of application logging. +

+
+
+

+ Added new LoggerMatchFilter filter +

+

+ Added LoggerMatchFilter which matches a string against + the event's logger name. +

+

+ Pluggable file locking models for the + FileAppender +

+

+ The FileAppender (and by extension the + RollingFileAppender) now support pluggable file + locking models. The default model, ExclusiveLock, + maintains the current exclusive file locking behavior. An alternative + model, MinimalLock, can be used to support writing to + a single output file from multiple processes. +

+

+ For full details see the SDK Reference entry: - log4net.Appender.FileAppender.LockingModel. -

-

- RollingFileAppender - roll once -

-

- The RollingFileAppender now supports a new - rolling style, Once. In this mode the appender - will roll the file once per run. -

-

- SmtpAppender - authentication -

-

- On the .NET 1.1 platform only, the SmtpAppender supports - authenticating - against the mail server using either username and password or integrated NTLM authentication. -

-

- AdoNetAppender - ReconnectOnError -

-

- Added new configuration property to AdoNetAppender. - Setting ReconnectOnError to - true - will force the appender to attempt to reconnect to the database if the connection - is lost. -

-

- UdpAppender - hostname support -

-

- The UdpAppender config property - RemoteAddress - can now be specified as a DNS hostname string. The hostname is resolved to an IP address. -

-
- -
-

-

Separate NUnit tests

-

- Moved the NUnit tests into a separate project, log4net.Tests. -

-

Bug Fixes

-
-
- RemotingAppender -
-
-

- Sends events from a ThreadPool thread - rather than the calling thread to prevent transfer, - and potential loss, of the CallContext. -

-
-
- RollingFileAppender -
-
-

- Fixed date rolling period detection for non UTC timezones. -

-
-
- ColoredConsoleAppender -
-
-

- Updated to support writing more than 30,000 chars in a single message. - Fixed background color overspill if the console window needs to - scroll the contents. -

-
-
-
- -
- -
-

Changed assembly name to - log4net -

-

- The build output is now - log4net.dll - for all frameworks. This is a breaking change. -

-

- To resolve cross platform and cross version issues we have - changed the log4net assembly to use a common name for all - frameworks. The assembly friendly name is now log4net. - The builds for each framework can now be differentiated - by the assembly title. This includes the name of the framework - that the assembly was built on. -

-

Combined Release and ReleaseStrong builds

-

- The Release and ReleaseStrong builds have been consolidated into - a single build called Release. This Release build is strongly named. -

-

New Appender: ColoredConsoleAppender

-

- The ColoredConsoleAppender writes events to the - application's console. It can be configured to specify the text and background - colors for different level events. -

-

New Appender: SmtpPickupDirAppender

-

- The SmtpPickupDirAppender generates SMTP compliant - messages and writes them to a local directory. These files can then be read - by an SMTP agent (e.g. the IIS SMTP Agent) and delivered. -

-

New Layout: XmlLayoutSchemaLog4j

-

- This new layout formats the logging events as XML which complies with - the Apache log4j™ event dtd. This can be used to transfer log event from log4net - to log4j. Currently the only appender that can communicate directly with - log4j is the UdpAppender. -

-

New PatternLayout conversion characters

-

- Added support for capturing the current thread principal name and the - app domain friendly name for each logging event. -

-
-
%a
-
- Used to output the friendly name of the AppDomain where the - logging event was generated. -
-
%u
-
- Used to output the user name for the currently active user - (Principal.Identity.Name). -
-
-

Types specified in the config file are now loaded ignoring case

-

- All types specified in the configuration files are now loaded - using a case insensitive method. -

-

Fine grained fixing for buffered events

-

- The LoggingEvent now supports fine grained - fixing of data that needs to be accessed outside the append context, - e.g. when an event is buffered. The new - Fix - property takes a combination of the - FixFlags - enumeration values. -

-

Code updated inline with FxCop 1.21

-

- In line with the FxCop 1.21 guidelines: - Sealed utility classes. Added serialization security demand to GetObjectData. - Renamed parameters. -

-

EventLogAppender 32K Limit

-

- There is a limit of 32K characters in an EventLog message. Added a - check that only logs the first 32000 characters from the rendered - message. -

-
- -
-

Updated to support the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Final

-

- Updated to support the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Final Beta (1.1.4322). -

-

Features document

-

- Added a new document that covers the main features of log4net. - See the - features - document for more information. -

-

Hierarchy disabled until it is configured

-

- The Hierarchy is now disabled until it has been configured. - All messages logged to the Hierarchy before it has been - configured will be ignored without an error message being - written to the console. -

-

- If you are configuring log4net programmatically (i.e. not using - one of the built-in configurators) you must set the - ILoggerRepository.Configured - property - to true once you have configured - the repository. -

-

- The no appenders defined for a logger message will no longer be - displayed on the console by default. This message will only be - displayed if internal debugging is enabled. -

-

-

Added support for multiple frameworks

-

- log4net 1.2.0 beta 6 adds support for the the following frameworks: -

-
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- Framework - - Website -
Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Final Beta (1.1.4322) - http://msdn.microsoft.com/net -
Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 1.0 (1.0.5000) - - http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/device/compactfx.asp - -
Mono 0.23 - http://www.go-mono.org -
Microsoft Shared Source CLI 1.0 - - http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dndotnet/html/mssharsourcecli.asp - -
-
-
-

- Not all frameworks are created equal and some features have been excluded from - some of the builds. See the Framework Support document for more - information. -

-

New build system using NAnt

-

- The new build system allows log4net to be built for all supported frameworks and - in all build configurations in one go. -

-

New source code & distribution layout

-

- The source code & distribution layout has been updated to support the new - build environment and multiple target frameworks. -

-

Removed DomainAttribute.UseDefaultDomain property

-

- Updated default behavior of DefaultRepositorySelector. Assemblies - are now by default placed into the default domain. To specify another domain, - the DomainAttribute must be used. This is the opposite behavior - to what was previously available. If you were previously specifying the - DomainAttribute.UseDefaultDomain - property then you should remove it, and if the default behavior is now - sufficient, you do not need to specify the DomainAttribute at all. -

-

Updated configuration file parser

-

- Updated config file parser to use the element name as the property to set. Also - removed <object> tag, the type attribute can now be - specified on the property element directly. -

-

- For example: -

-
- 
-                        <appender>
-                        <param name="Evaluator">
-                        <object type="log4net.spi.LevelEvaluator">
-                        <constructor>
-                        <param type="log4net.spi.Level" value="DEBUG"/>
-                        </constructor>
-                        </object>
-                        </param>
-                        </appender>
-
-
-

- becomes: -

-
- 
-                        <appender>
-                        <evaluator type="log4net.spi.LevelEvaluator">
-                        <threshold value="DEBUG"/>
-                        </evaluator>
-                        </appender>
-
-
-

Support for event ID

-

- The EventLogAppender now supports setting the event ID in the - event log, this is taken from the EventID property from the per - event Properties map on the LoggingEvent. -

-

Updated ADONetAppender

-

-

    -
  • - Added support for prepared statements and stored procedures -
    • -
  • - Added RawTimeStampLayoutto correctly convert the timestamps into - database date time format -
    • -
  • - Added ExceptionLayout to render the exception data -
    • -
-

-

Support for front-end extension

-

- This allows the logging API to be wrapped or adapted for specific purposes. Two - extension samples are included in the distribution: -

-
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- Extension - - Description -
log4net.Ext.TraceAdds trace logging methods
log4net.Ext.EventIDAdds additional eventId parameter to all methods
-
-

-

Lots of updates to improve our compliance with FxCop

-

Improved SDK documentation

-
- -
-

Fixed Exception thrown when DOM Configurator called with a null XML - Element. -

-

This occurred if the configuration file did not have a log4net section defined.

-

Made level lookup case insensitive

-

Prevented the Hierarchy's Threshold level from being set to a null reference

-
- -
-

Added event specific properties to the logging event object

-

- Appenders can add additional information to the events they are logging. The - RemotingAppender - and the SMTPAppender both add a 'hostname' property to the events. - These properties can be accessed using the PatternLayout with the - %P{name} syntax. -

-

Added a plugin framework

-

An IPlugin interface can be attached to any repository. -

-

A new RemoteLoggingServerPlugin plugin acts as the server for the - RemotingAppender -

-

Updated the core log4net framework to work in an environment with no - permissions -

-

Specific appenders still require additional permissions to log correctly

-

Added support for domain aliasing using the AliasDomainAttribute

-

This allows a parent assembly to take control of the logging domain for child - assemblies. -

-

Added events for repository creation, configuration change, configuration reset - and repository shutdown -

-

Added LevelMap to the ILoggerRepository interface

-

The mapping from level name to level object is now repository specific, - therefore each repository can have independent mappings. -

-

Moved hierarchy specific config file parser to new DOMHierarchyConfigurator class

-

This is controlled by the Hierarchy object and allows for better - encapsulation. -

-

Added OnlyFixPartialEventData property to the buffered appenders

-

This setting causes slow settings to be ignored. This significantly improves the - performance of the buffered appenders. -

-

XML entity references are supported in the XML config file.

-

Added support for expanding environment variables in <param> values

-

- The environment variables must be specified as ${FOO} where - FOO - is the name of the variable to expand. -

-

Upgraded to use NUnit 2.0

-

File appenders can specify the encoding to use for the file

-

Added strong named configuration

-
- -
-

Added log4net.Ext.Trace extension

-

This is a separate assembly that adds a trace level to log4net.

-

The default log file output directory is now the application base directory not - the current directory -

-

Added MemoryAppender

-

Stores all the logging events in an in-memory buffer.

-

Moved the Hierarchy implementation into a separate namespace

-

- The log4net.Repository.Hierarchy namespace now contains all the - code that is specific to the Hierarchy implementation. -

-

Refactored the DOMConfigurator and BasicConfigurator

-

- The Hierarchy specific data schema and implementation could be has - now been moved to the log4net.Repository.Hierarchy namespace. The - bootstrap code for these configurators remains in the - log4net.Config - namespace. -

-

Replaced the DOMConfiguratorAttribute UseExecutableDomain - property with UseDefaultDomain -

-

- This change to the implementation of the DOMConfiguratorAttribute should - allow the configuration of multiple assemblies to be accomplished more easily, - especially when developing web applications (ASP.NET). -

-

A few good bug fixes!

-
- -
-

Added ADONetAppender

-

Thanks to TechnologyOneCorp.com.

-

Added TraceLogAssembly extensibility example

-

Lots of bug fixes

-
- -
-

Added 6 new examples

-

Split Category class into Logger and LogManager classes

-

- The instance methods from Category have moved to the - Logger - class. The static methods from Category have moved to the - LogManager - class. The Category class still exists but for backward - compatibility only. Changed interface ICategoryFactory to - ILoggerFactory - and the implementation class DefaultCategoryFactory to - DefaultLoggerFactory. -

-

Replaced Priority class with Level class

-

- The Priority class has been replaced by the Level - class. - The Priority class still exists for backward compatibility only. - The Level class implements a static pool of Level - objects. - The Level class is sealed and serializable. -

-

Added ILoggerRepository interface implemented by Hierarchy

-

- The Hierarchy class implements the ILoggerRepository - interface. - This interface is used by the LogManager class and therefore - allows different implementations of ILoggerRepository to be used. -

-

Enhanced NUnit tests

-

- All the NUnit tests can be run using a single TestSuite: NUnitGUI - log4net.LogManager+AllTests,log4net.dll. -

-

Added support for serializing LoggingEvents

-

- The LoggingEvent class is serializable. All local state is - captured before serialization occurs. This now allows - LoggingEvent - objects to be serialized between applications or machines. -

-

Added RemotingAppender

-

- Delivers LoggingEvents to a remote interface. This can be used to - collect distributed logging into a single log file. There is an example - remoting sink that receives the logging events, see - examples\net\remoting\RemotingServer - for details. -

-

Added support for rendering composite objects

-

- The IObjectRenderer interface method DoRender now - takes a RendererMap argument. This allows the renderer to use the - appropriate renderer from the RendererMap to render any nested - objects. -

-

Added support for rendering exceptions

-

- The DefaultRenderer now has support for rendering exceptions to a - string. This includes nested exceptions. The RendererMap is now - used to render exceptions in the LoggingEvent. This allows the - rendering of specific exceptions to be enhanced by specific renderers. -

-

Added ITriggeringEventEvaluator interface

-

- This interface is used by SMTPAppender and - RemotingAppender - to determine if a LoggingEvent meets a set of user defined - criteria. These appenders use the interface to determine whether or not to - deliver the current buffer of events to their listener. The interface is - implemented by the LevelEvaluator class, which triggers above a - set level. -

-

Added regex matching to the MDCFilter, NDCFilter and StringMatchFilter

-

- The MDCFilter, NDCFilter and - StringMatchFilter - can now be configured to use regex matches in addition to substring matches. - Set the RegexToMatch property to use this feature. -

-

Added XMLLayout

-

- emits an XML element for each LoggingEvent. This allows logging - events to be stored and manipulated as XML. The DTD for the XML emitted is in - the - log4net-events.dtd -

-

Added support for <logger> and <level> elements in the - DOMConfigurator -

-

- As the Category and Priority classes have been - replaced by the Logger and Level classes. The - DOMConfigurator - has been updated to allow the <logger> and - <level> - elements to be used in place of the <category> and - <priority> - elements. The old elements are still accepted for backward compatibility. -

-

Added Threshold property to Hierarchy

-

- Changed DisableXXX() methods on Hierarchy to a - Threshold - property. -

-

Added support for logging domains

-

- The LogManager supports multiple logging domains. The - LogManager - uses an instance of the IRepositorySelector class to map from - domains to ILoggerRepository instances. The default implementation - is to have a separate ILoggerRepository for each domain. When a - call is made to the static methods on LogManager the domain can be - specified (as a string) or the domain can be inferred automatically from the - calling assembly. The default behavior is for each assembly loaded into the - process to have its own domain and ILoggerRepository. These can - each be configured separately. This allows standalone assemblies to use log4net - without conflicting with other modules in the process. The domain for the - assembly is configured using metadata attributes defined on the assembly. -

-

DOMConfigurator can set params to arbitrary objects

-

- Using a new <object> element, params can now be set to any - creatable object. -

-
+ log4net.Appender.FileAppender.LockingModel + . +

+

New Layout: XmlLayoutSchemaLog4j

+

+ This new layout formats the logging events as XML which complies with + the Apache log4j™ event dtd. This can be used to transfer log event from log4net + to log4j. Currently the only appender that can communicate directly with + log4j is the UdpAppender. +

+

New PatternLayout conversion characters

+

+ Added support for capturing the current thread principal name and the + app domain friendly name for each logging event. +

+
+
%a
+
+ Used to output the friendly name of the AppDomain where the + logging event was generated. +

+ The mapping from level name to level object is now repository specific, + therefore each repository can have independent mappings. +

+

Moved hierarchy specific config file parser to new DOMHierarchyConfigurator class

+

+ This is controlled by the Hierarchy object and allows for better + encapsulation. +

+

Added OnlyFixPartialEventData property to the buffered appenders

+

+ This setting causes slow settings to be ignored. This significantly improves the + performance of the buffered appenders. +

+

XML entity references are supported in the XML config file.

+

Added support for expanding environment variables in <param> values

+

+ The environment variables must be specified as ${FOO} where + FOO + is the name of the variable to expand. +

+

Upgraded to use NUnit 2.0

+

File appenders can specify the encoding to use for the file

+

Added strong named configuration

+
+ +
+

Added log4net.Ext.Trace extension

+

This is a separate assembly that adds a trace level to log4net.

+

+ The default log file output directory is now the application base directory not + the current directory +

+

Added MemoryAppender

+

Stores all the logging events in an in-memory buffer.

+

Moved the Hierarchy implementation into a separate namespace

+

+ The log4net.Repository.Hierarchy namespace now contains all the + code that is specific to the Hierarchy implementation. +

+

Refactored the DOMConfigurator and BasicConfigurator

+

+ The Hierarchy specific data schema and implementation could be has + now been moved to the log4net.Repository.Hierarchy namespace. The + bootstrap code for these configurators remains in the + log4net.Config + namespace. +

+

+ Replaced the DOMConfiguratorAttribute UseExecutableDomain + property with UseDefaultDomain +

+

+ This change to the implementation of the DOMConfiguratorAttribute should + allow the configuration of multiple assemblies to be accomplished more easily, + especially when developing web applications (ASP.NET). +

+

A few good bug fixes!

+
+ +
+

Added ADONetAppender

+

Thanks to TechnologyOneCorp.com.

+

Added TraceLogAssembly extensibility example

+

Lots of bug fixes

+
+ +
+

Added 6 new examples

+

Split Category class into Logger and LogManager classes

+

+ The instance methods from Category have moved to the + Logger + class. The static methods from Category have moved to the + LogManager + class. The Category class still exists but for backward + compatibility only. Changed interface ICategoryFactory to + ILoggerFactory + and the implementation class DefaultCategoryFactory to + DefaultLoggerFactory + . +

+

Replaced Priority class with Level class

+

+ The Priority class has been replaced by the + Level + class. + The Priority class still exists for backward compatibility only. + The Level class implements a static pool of + Level + objects. + The Level class is sealed and serializable. +

+

Added ILoggerRepository interface implemented by Hierarchy

+

+ The Hierarchy class implements the + ILoggerRepository + interface. + This interface is used by the LogManager class and therefore + allows different implementations of ILoggerRepository to be used. +

+

Enhanced NUnit tests

+

+ All the NUnit tests can be run using a single TestSuite: NUnitGUI + log4net.LogManager+AllTests,log4net.dll. +

+

Added support for serializing LoggingEvents

+

+ The LoggingEvent class is serializable. All local state is + captured before serialization occurs. This now allows + LoggingEvent + objects to be serialized between applications or machines. +

+

Added RemotingAppender

+

+ Delivers LoggingEvents to a remote interface. This can be used to + collect distributed logging into a single log file. There is an example + remoting sink that receives the logging events, see + examples\net\remoting\RemotingServer + for details. +

+

Added support for rendering composite objects

+

+ The IObjectRenderer interface method DoRender now + takes a RendererMap argument. This allows the renderer to use the + appropriate renderer from the RendererMap to render any nested + objects. +

+

Added support for rendering exceptions

+

+ The DefaultRenderer now has support for rendering exceptions to a + string. This includes nested exceptions. The RendererMap is now + used to render exceptions in the LoggingEvent. This allows the + rendering of specific exceptions to be enhanced by specific renderers. +

+

Added ITriggeringEventEvaluator interface

+

+ This interface is used by SMTPAppender and + RemotingAppender + to determine if a LoggingEvent meets a set of user defined + criteria. These appenders use the interface to determine whether or not to + deliver the current buffer of events to their listener. The interface is + implemented by the LevelEvaluator class, which triggers above a + set level. +

+

Added regex matching to the MDCFilter, NDCFilter and StringMatchFilter

+

+ The MDCFilter, NDCFilter and + StringMatchFilter + can now be configured to use regex matches in addition to substring matches. + Set the RegexToMatch property to use this feature. +

+

Added XMLLayout

+

+ emits an XML element for each LoggingEvent. This allows logging + events to be stored and manipulated as XML. The DTD for the XML emitted is in + the + log4net-events.dtd +

+

+ Added support for <logger> and <level> elements in the + DOMConfigurator +

+

+ As the Category and Priority classes have been + replaced by the Logger and Level classes. The + DOMConfigurator + has been updated to allow the <logger> and + <level> + elements to be used in place of the <category> and + <priority> + elements. The old elements are still accepted for backward compatibility. +

+

Added Threshold property to Hierarchy

+

+ Changed DisableXXX() methods on Hierarchy to a + Threshold + property. +

+

Added support for logging domains

+

+ The LogManager supports multiple logging domains. The + LogManager + uses an instance of the IRepositorySelector class to map from + domains to ILoggerRepository instances. The default implementation + is to have a separate ILoggerRepository for each domain. When a + call is made to the static methods on LogManager the domain can be + specified (as a string) or the domain can be inferred automatically from the + calling assembly. The default behavior is for each assembly loaded into the + process to have its own domain and ILoggerRepository. These can + each be configured separately. This allows standalone assemblies to use log4net + without conflicting with other modules in the process. The domain for the + assembly is configured using metadata attributes defined on the assembly. +

+

DOMConfigurator can set params to arbitrary objects

+

+ Using a new <object> element, params can now be set to any + creatable object. +
