<h3>11th of October, 2019, Release of version 1.3.0-alpha5</h3>
<p class="highlight">The 1.3.x series is JPMS/Jigsaw/Java 9
modularized and requires slf4j-api version 2.0.x. Moreover, the
1.3.x series requires Java 8 at
<b>runtime</b>.</p>
<p>The 1.3.x series is Jigsaw/Java 9 modularized and requires
slf4j-api version 2.0.x. Moreover, the 1.3.x series requires
Java 8 at <b>runtime</b> whereas building logback from source
requires Java 9. <br/></p>
<p>Joran, logback's configuration system, has been rewritten to
use an internal representation model which can be processed
separately. As a side-effect, logback configuration scripts are
now order-free. Given the breadth of the changes, support for
<code>SiftingAppender</code> and Groovy configuration have been
dropped temporarily.
</p>
<p>ConsoleAppender now delegates filtering of ANSI sequences to
Jansi. This fixes <a
href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1392">LOGBACK-1392</a>
reported by Alexandre Dutra who also provided the relevant patch.
</p>
<hr width="80%" align="center" />
<h3>February 11th, 2018, Release of version 1.3.0-alpha4</h3>
<br/>
<div class="breaking">
<p>Given that all currently available versions of Groovy are
incompatible with Java 9, at least when built with Maven, we
have momentarily <b>dropped support for Groovy
configuration</b>, a.k.a Gaffer. For details refer to <a
href="http://markmail.org/thread/nekeppbvwrfl7hbb#query:+page:1+mid:obdyvuv24kqpxm6v+state:results">this
thread</a> and relevant <a
href="https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-8471">jira
issue.</a></p>
</div>
<br/>
<div class="breaking">
<p>Due to lack of user interest, logback-classic no longer
supports <a href="manual/loggingSeparation.html">logging
separation</a> by way of <code>ContextSelector</code>.</p>
</div>
<p>Under JPMS (Java 9), module <code>ch.qos.logback.core</code> is
now able to read module <code>java.xml</code>. This fixes <a
href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1381">LOGBACK-1381</a>
reported by Mark Raynsford.
</p>
<hr width="80%" align="center" />
<h3>February 10th, 2018, Release of version 1.3.0-alpha3</h3>
<p>Under JPMS (Java 9), allow user code to implement
<code>ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.Configurator</code> as a
service. This fixes <a
href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1380">LOGBACK-1380</a>
reported by Mark Raynsford.
</p>
<p>Fix issue with properties containing JSON strings as reported
in <a
href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1101">LOGBACK-1101</a>.
</p>
<hr width="80%" align="center" />
<h3>January 30th, 2018, Release of version 1.3.0-alpha2</h3>

1.8.0-beta1-SNAPSHOT.</p>
<p>Fix build under Travis.</p>
<h3>January 30th, 2018, Release of version 1.3.0-alpha1</h3>
<p>In the absence of a <span class="attr">class</span> attribute,
the <code>shutdownHook</code> configuration directive now
correctly assumes
<code>ch.qos.logback.core.hook.DefaultShutdownHook</code>
class. This fixes <a
href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1162">LOGBACK-1162</a>
reported by Alex Selesse.</p>
<p>Logback's internal <code>ThreadPoolExecutor</code> now has an
initial pool of 1 thread instead of 8 previously.</p>
<p>TimeBasedArchiveRemover is now able to deal with indexes over
999. This fixes <a
href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1175">LOGBACK-1175</a>
reported by Diego Furtado who also provided the relevant PR.
</p>
<p><code>SizeAndTimeBasedRollingPolicy</code> will correctly
remove archived log files created within a given time period even
if the last modified date for said files has been modifed since
archiving or is otherwise incorrect. This fixes <a
href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1361">LOGBACK-1361</a> as
reported by Peter Risko.</p>
<p>String to Level conversion now handles strings with tailing
spaces. This fixes <a
href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1288">LOGBACK-1288</a>
reported by Gaurav Khanna.
</p>
<p><code>MDCFilter</code> will enforce the presence of
<code>MDCKey</code> and <code>value</code> properties, refusing to
start when either property absent. This fixes <a
href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1165">LOGBACK-1165</a>
reported by Martin Steiger.
</p>
<p>Added the feature to update mime message before sending the
email. This enhancement was requested in <a
href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1284">LOGBACK-1284</a> by
Miguel Vale who also provided the relevant PR.</p>
<p>If omitted, the <span class="option">scanPeriod</span>
attribute in configuration file defaults to 1 minute. The
documentation <a
href="manual/configuration.html#autoScan">stated
as much</a> but the code had not followed through. This issue was
reported in <a
href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1194">LOGBACK-1194</a>
with F. Buechler providing the appropriate patch.</p>
<p>Updated JavaMail version to 1.6. This fixes <a
href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1094">LOGBACK-1094</a>
reported by Romain Moreau.

<h3>February 5th, 2017, Release of version 1.1.10</h3>
<p>Several changes to improve throughput (see <a
href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cpb5D7qnyye4W0RTlHUnXedYK98catNZytYIu5D91m0/edit?usp=sharing"><b>spreadsheet</b></a>)
</p>
<ol>
<li>The <code>ReentrantLock</code> in
<code>OutputStreamAppender</code> is now "unfair". In previous
versions of logback, a fair lock was used. Fair locks are much
slower. Just as importanly, logback has no mandate to influence
thread scheduling.
</li>
<li><code>FileAppender</code> now offers the <span
class="option">bufferSize</span> option. Previously, a
fixed-size 8K buffer was used. Increasing the <span
class="option">bufferSize</span>, for example to 256K,
significantly reduces thread-contention.
</li>
<li>Critical parts of the code now use
<code>COWArrayList</code>, a custom developed allocation-free
lock-free thread-safe implementation of the {@link List}
interface. It is optimized for cases where iterations over the
list vastly outnumber modifications on the list. It is based on
<code>CopyOnWriteArrayList</code> but allows allocation-free
iterations over the list.
</li>
<li>In <code>PatternLayoutBase</code> the same
<code>StringBuilder</code> is used over and over to reduce
memory allocation. This is safe as long as the owning appender
guarantees serial access to its layout. In the next version of
logback, i.e. 1.2.x, the read-write lock will no longer protect
access to the layout and there will be no guarantee of
serial access.
</li>
</ol>
<p>In web-applications, logback-classic will <a
href="manual/configuration.html#webShutdownHook">automatically
install a listener</a> which will stop the logging context and
release resources when your web-app is reloaded. This enhancement
was requested <a
href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1170">LOGBACK-1170</a> by
Martin Wegner.
</p>
<p>The <code>AccessEvent.prepareForDeferredProcessing()</code>
method was not idempotent. This caused subtle bugs under
Jetty. See <a
href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1189">LOGBACK-1189</a>
for details. Many thanks to Per Olesen, Evan Meagher, Nick Babcock
and Mark Elliot for hunting down this bug.
</p>
<p>As it may be time consuming in certain environments, the
HOSTNAME property is now computed lazily. This optimization
requested in <a
href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1221">LOGBACK-1221</a> by
Eugene Petrenko.
</p>
<p>Joran now supports external XML entities. This feature was

<h3>January 20th, 2017, Release of version 1.1.9</h3>
<p>Logback's internal executor service had a thread pool size of 2
which could be used up rather quickly, e.g. configuration scanning
in addition to an active <code>ServerSocketAppender</code>. When
both threads where permanently in use, compression could not
proceed. To alleviate this problem, the thread pool size has been
increased to 8. See issue <a
href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1238">LOGBACK-1238</a>
for more details.
</p>
<p>Fixed issue with <code>FileAppender</code> instances embedded
within <code>SiftingAppender</code> reporting filename collisions
after reaching timeout and subsequently restarted. This problem
was reported in <a
href="https://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1167">LOGBACK-1167</a> by
Michael Edgar.
</p>
<p>Fixed <code>SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP</code> deprecation warning
emitted even the replacement,
i.e. <code>SizeAndTimeBasedRollingPolicy</code>, is in use. See <a
href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1236">LOGBACK-1236</a>. This
issue was reported by Claudius Nicolae.
</p>
<p>Added proper implementation for
<code>LobackValve.getScheduledExecutorService()</code> method. The
missing implementation manifested itself in the form of an
<code>UnsupportedOperationException</code> thrown by
LogbackValve. This problem is further described in <a
href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1181">LOGBACK-1181</a>
reported by Andreas von Roepenack.

<h3>December 9th, 2016, Release of version 1.1.8</h3>
<p>Removed the two period safeguard, aka untouchable periods, for
archive removal beyond the size specified by <span
class="option">totalSizeCap</span> in
<code>TimeBasedRollingPolicy</code>. It turns out the safegaurd is
not required and is unexpected as attested by <a
href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1166">LOGBACK-1166</a>.
</p>
<p>Fixed issue with Joran incorrectly reporting "Unexpected
aggregationType AS_BASIC_PROPERTY_COLLECTION". This issue was

<p>Gaffer (logback's groovy configurator) now supports the
<code>valueOf</code> convention. This issue was raised in <a
href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1232">LOGBACK-1232</a> by
Frans Orsel.
</p>
<p>The <code>org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder</code> class
shipping in logback-classic no longer catches
<code>Throwable</code> but <code>Exception</code>. This change was
requested in <a

<p><code>BeanDescriptionFactory</code> no longer outputs a
superflous warning message in case the class contains bridge
methods. This fixes <a

<h3>March 29th, 2016, Release of version 1.1.7</h3>
<p>Logback is now <a href="

profile</a> compatible. This improvement was requested in <a
href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1071">LOGBACK-1071</a> by
Axel Fontaine with Max Urech providing the relevant pull-request.
</p>
<p>Fixed <code>ConcurrentModificationException</code> being thrown
when the <code>reset()</code> method is invoked on the
<code>LoggerContext</code> instance. This issue was reported in <a
href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-397">LOGBACK-397</a> by
Szczepan Faber with Ross Sargant providing the relevant test case.
</p>
<p><code>TimeBasedRollingPolicy</code> now supports the <a
href="manual/appenders.html#tbrpTotalSizeCap"><span
class="option">totalSizeCap</span></a> property which allows the
user to limit the total size of archived logs.
</p>
<p><a
href="manual/appenders.html#SizeAndTimeBasedRollingPolicy"><code>SizeAndTimeBasedRollingPolicy</code></a>
offers the same functionality as
<code>SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP</code> did previously but with a
simpler configuration structure.
</p>
<p>Archive removal by <code>RollingFileAppender</code> is now
performed asynchronously.</p>
<p>Unnecessary and incompatible %i token in <span
class="option">fileNamePattern</span> option with
<code>RollingFileAppender/TimeBasedRollingPolicy</code> is now
detected and the user alerted to the misconfiguration
problem. This fixes <a
href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1143">LOGBACK-1143</a>.
</p>
<p>Joran can now handle logger names ending with a $, i.e. the
first character in variable substitution. This issue was raised in

<h3>February 29th, 2016, Release of version 1.1.6</h3>
<p><code>LogbackValve</code> (in logback-access) now attempts to
load the configuration file as a resource if it cannot be found on
the filesystem (<a
href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1069">LOGBACK-1069</a>). This
is helpful in scenarios where applications are using an embedded
Tomcat server.</p>
<p><code>JMXConfigurator.reloadDefaultConfiguration()</code>
method now tolerates programmatic configuration without a
URL. This change was provided by Vedran Pavic in <a
href="https://github.com/qos-ch/logback/pull/302">PR 302</a>.
</p>
<p><code>RollingFileAppender</code> will output an error message
if the date time pattern in the %d token within the <span
class="option">fileNamePattern</span> is not collision free. This
fixes <a
href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1137">LOGBACK-1137</a>. In
a similar vein, every instance of <code>FileAppender</code> will
now detect if it shares the same <span class="option">File</span>
option value as given for an appender defined earlier. In
addition, <code>RollingFileAppender</code> instances now check for
colliding <span class="option">FileNamePattern</span> values.</p>
<p>Fixed <code>NullPointerException</code> thrown by
<code>RollingFileAppender</code> if the name of the rollover
target path did not contain a parent. This issue was reported in
<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1054">LOGBACK-1054</a>
by Paulius Matulionis. Analysis of the problem and the relevant PR
was provided by Ferenc Palkovics.</p>
<p><code>BasicConfigurator.configure</code> method call executes

<h3>February 13th, 2016, Release of version 1.1.5</h3>
<div class="breaking">
<h4>MDC values are no longer inherited by child threads.</h4>
</div>
<p>Child threads no longer inherit MDC values. In previous
versions of logback as well as log4j 1.x, MDC values were
inherited by child threads. Several users have argued convincingly
that MDC inheritance by child threads was unhelpful and even
dangerous. This change fixes <a

</p>
<p>When the <code>FileNamePattern</code> string for
<code>RollingFileAppender/SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP</code> lacks a %i

this release, this particular condition is detected by
<code>RollingFileAppender</code> which will not start but alert
the user instead.

<h4>Packaging data (as output in stack traces) is now disabled
by default.
</h4>
</div>
<p>In case an application throws exceptions frequently, then
computing packaging data can be very costly and will cause the
application to run slower. Making bad worse. To alleviate this
problem, packaging data is no longer computed by default. It has
to be <a href="manual/configuration.html#packagingData">enabled
explicitly</a>. In the absence of explicit instructions, i.e the
user has not specified a converter handling exceptions,
<code>PatternLayout</code> in logback-classic will follow the
settings defining for the logging environment. If packaging data
is disabled, then it add %ex as a suffix in the pattern, and if
packaging data is enabled then %xEx will be added. These changes

<p>Fixed <code>FileAppender</code>'s prudent mode so that it properly recovers

(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1046">LOGBACK-1046</a>) </p>
<p>Irrelevant or internal stack trace lines can now be omitted. Pull request
provided by Tomasz Nurkiewicz
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-540">LOGBACK-540</a>).</p>
<p><code>AccessEvent</code> now creates a copy of request attributes when
its <code>prepareForDeferredProcessing()</code> method is called. This makes
attributes visible even if an appender uses a background thread to process
events.
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1033">LOGBACK-1033</a>)</p>
<p>All threads opened by <code>ch.qos.logback.core.util.ExecutorServiceUtil#THREAD_FACTORY</code>
are now daemons, which fixes an application hang on shutdown when <code>LoggerContext#stop()</code>
is not called (<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-929">LOGBACK-929</a>).
Note that daemon threads are abruptly terminated by the JVM, which may cause
undesirable results, such as corrupted files written by the <code>FileAppender</code>.
It is still highly recommended for the application to call <code>LoggerContext#stop()</code>
(e.g., in a shutdown hook) to gracefully shutdown appenders.</p>
<p>Fixed an issue with <code>RollingFileAppender</code> where the first
rollover file could be unintentionally deleted, depending on the specified
filename pattern
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-894">LOGBACK-894</a>).</p>
<p>Fixed an issue with <code>TeeHttpServletResponse</code>
where the system default encoding would be used instead of the
response encoding when constructing a new writer
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1023">LOGBACK-1023</a>).</p>
<p>Fixed <code>ConfigurationDelegate.groovy</code> to allow any appender

appenders, such as <b>reactor-logback's</b> <code>AsyncAppender</code>
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-1008">LOGBACK-1008</a>)</p>
<p>Added support for specifying the callstack depth range in the
<code>PatternLayout</code>. For example, <code>%caller{1..2}</code>
displays the first two calls in the callstack.</p>
<p>Added HTTP request method to <code>MDCInsertingServletFilter</code>.</p>
<p>Fixed time-zone dependent code in <code>RollingCalendarTest</code>.

<p>Simplified connection logic of SocketApender to reduce multi-threading
overhead and unnecessary instantiation of <code>SocketConnector</code>

duplicate emails.
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-909">LOGBACK-909</a>)

<p>Fixed an issue with <code>FileAppender</code> in prudent mode, where
an interrupt could prevent further access to the file
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-875">LOGBACK-875</a>).</p>
<p>Fixed <code>IllegalStateException</code> when multiple threads
write files to same directory
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-128">LOGBACK-128</a>).</p>
<p>Changed queue consumption strategy in <code>AbstractSocketAppender</code>
from "take" to "peek/remove" in order to avoid losing an event on each socket
connection break. Zero is now a deprecated queue size. A queue size of one
should be taken instead to indicate synchronous processing.
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-977">LOGBACK-977</a>)
</p>
<p><code>RequestLogImpl</code> now has an overridable <code>configure</code>
method to allow extending implementations to configure it via methods
other than the <code>logback-access.xml</code> file.</p>
<p>Fixed a bug in <code>AccessEvent</code> which could cause any
<code>AsyncAppender</code> based appender to corrupt the request
headers, request parameters, or response headers, before logging.</p>
<p>SQL scripts to setup your logback database are now provided as
JAR resources
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-948">LOGBACK-948</a>).
</p>
<p>Threads created internally by logback are now named
<i>logback-n</i>, where <i>n</i> is an integer. For the
first thread <i>n</i> is set to 1, for each successive thread
<i>n</i> is incremented by 1.</p>
<p>Added max runtime parameter to <code>AsyncAppender</code> to allow
the appender to flush events, up to a maximum delay, during a stop
of the LoggerContext. This can be used to ensure that all queued
events are flushed.</p>
<p>Added new configuration element <code>shutdownHook</code> to allow the
user to specify a ShutdownHook implementation that will stop the Logback
context upon JVM exit.
</p>
<p><code>BasicStatusManager</code> now prevents adding more than
one instance of <code>OnConsoleStatusListener</code> as a status
listener. This fixes <a

<h3>5th of February, 2014 - Release of version 1.1.1</h3>
<p>Logback now supports an unlimited level of <a
href="manual/configuration.html#variableSubstitution">variable</a>
resolution graphs rather than being limited to one level deep
resolution. This enhancement was requested by Anton Wiedermann in
<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-943">LOGBACK-943</a>
with Eric Dahl providing the relevant pull request.
</p>
<p>Fixed <a
href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-942">LOGBACK-942</a> which
was causing <code>SocketAppender</code> to drop events. Eric Dahl
provided the relevant pull request.

<h3>January 28th, 2014 - Release of version 1.1.0</h3>
<p>Previously, logback silently ignored configuration files that did
not have the ".xml" or ".groovy" file extension. Now, a <code>LogbackException</code>
is thrown to flag this error.
</p>
<p>Groovy configuration now supports <code>appenderRef</code>, which
allows the use of <code>AsyncAppender</code> in Groovy.
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-269">LOGBACK-269</a>)
</p>
<p><code>SizeAndTimeBasedFNATP</code> now supports a protected function
<code>#createArchiveRemover</code> that allows subclasses to specify
a custom archive remover used in <code>RollingFileAppender</code>. The
default archive remover is <code>SizeAndTimeBasedArchiveRemover</code>.
</p>
<p><code>PackagingDataCalculator</code> now catches and ignores
<code>UnsupportedOperationException</code> so that it can determine
whether the JVM supports <code>Reflection#getCallerClass()</code>
without printing that exception's stack trace. This only affects
Java 7u40+, which removed support for <code>Reflection#getCallerClass()</code>.
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-885">LOGBACK-885</a>)
</p>
<p>To facilitate debugging, <code>SimpleSocketServer</code> now names
its threads: "<b>Logback SimpleSocketServer (port <i>PORTNUM</i>)</b>".
<code>SocketNode</code> client threads are named:
"<b>Logback SocketNode (client: <i>IPADDR</i>)</b>".
</p>
<p>Fixed silently lost messages from <code>SyslogAppender</code>
when they exceeded the system datagram size limit. The default max
message size was hard coded to 65KB but now matches the system limit
(as read from
<a href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/net/DatagramSocket.html#getSendBufferSize()">
<code>DatagramSocket#getSendBufferSize()</code></a>) unless a
nonzero limit is specified via <code>SyslogAppender#setMaxMessageSize()</code>.
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-926">LOGBACK-926</a>)
</p>
<p>Fixed various documentation typos, including
<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-466">LOGBACK-466</a>,
<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-768">LOGBACK-768</a>,

and
<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-927">LOGBACK-927</a>.
</p>
<p><code>ContextBase.setStatusManager</code> now correctly validates
the given status manager.
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-912">LOGBACK-912</a>)
</p>
<p>The <code>SocketNode</code> creates an <code>ObjectInputStream</code>
using the socket's input stream, which blocks waiting for the
stream header. This wait has been moved from the constructor to
<code>SocketNode.run()</code> so that the node can be created without
blocking.
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-350">LOGBACK-350</a>)
</p>
<p>Fixed <code>SecurityException</code> during initialization
in Google AppEngine.
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-760">LOGBACK-760</a>)
</p>
<p>The <code><include></code> element now allows optional
resources (previously, only optional files).
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-644">LOGBACK-928</a>)
</p>
<p>Added new layout conversion word (<b>%D</b> or <b>%elapsedTime</b>),
which gets the time taken to serve the request. This applies
only to Jetty and Tomcat logs via logback-access.
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-320">LOGBACK-320</a>)
</p>
<p>Fixed SMTP error when the subject line contained multiple
new-lines.
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-865">LOGBACK-865</a>)
</p>
<p>Fixed unnecessary re-initialization of the servlet's
<code>LoggerContext</code> while attempting to destroy it.
</p>
<p>Added the following syslog facilities to <code>SyslogStartConverter</code>:
NTP, AUDIT, ALERT, CLOCK
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-754">LOGBACK-754</a>)
</p>
<p>Fixed <code>NullPointerException</code> when setting a JUL
logger's level to null, which should have reset the logger level
to the parent's effective level.
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-906">LOGBACK-906</a>)
</p>
<p>Added support to get suppressed exceptions. This is currently
only implemented for <code>RootCauseFirstThrowableProxyConverter</code>
and <code>ThrowableProxyConverter</code>.
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-516">LOGBACK-516</a>)
</p>
<p>Fixed problem of Janino classes not found in some environments
(axis2, GWT, etc.).
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-832">LOGBACK-832</a>)
</p>
<p>Fixed various unit tests, including modifications for consistent
results in Jenkins.
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-842">LOGBACK-842</a>)
</p>
<p>Allow Gaffer to read the <code>logback.debug</code> system
property to enable verbose output during Groovy-based configuration.
Also added debug statements to Gaffer.
</p>
<p>Fixed <code>IllegalArgumentException</code> when missing periods
and dollar signs in the logger name.
(<a href="http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LOGBACK-384">LOGBACK-384</a>)
</p>
<p>Fixed <code>NullPointerException</code> during JNDI lookup.</p>
<p>Fixed dangling data source connections from <code>DBAppender</code>
that caused <i>"maximum open cursors exceeded"</i>.</p>
<p>Fixed incorrect stack trace depth when specifying <code>%throwable</code>
with argument.
