[Log4cpp-devel] Release plans

[Bastiaan B. <Bas...@li...>]

Hi,

Since Brian asked, and I've been silent about my log4cpp plans for too
long anyway here's they are:

1) Make a final release of the 0.2.x branch which fixes gcc 3.x
compilation issues. After that this branch will be closed.

2) Release 0.3.5 in the next few weeks, containing Dirks patches for
MSVC DLL builds and other bugfixes. Focus for further 0.3.x releases
will be stablization, multithreading code cleanup, bugfixes, and
platform support. 

3) Branch off 0.3.x and push the trunk to 0.4.x. 0.4.x will be the place
for new API incompatible stuff e.g.:
 - introduction of the new naming scheme (Logger, Level, etc.) 
 - proper cleanup of log4cpp objects through reference counting.
 - extensibility of configurators for custom appender classes.
 - SocketAppender for log4j interaction.
 - faster, inlineable logging methods.


Ad 1): This has been completed this morning: 0.2.8 is on SourceForge
now. 

Ad 2): I plan to release 0.3.5rc1 somewhere next week, and promote that
to 0.3.5 if no issues show up.

Ad 3): I'll let that coincide with the release of 0.3.5 for convenience.
But if you have plans, ideas, suggestions, etc. for the future of
log4cpp development, feel free to discuss them now. CVS access will be
open for people with good ideas (and code of course).

Cheers,

Bastiaan
