Hello all,
As announced earlier, the version99 repository of empty artifacts
of "commons-logging" will be decommissioned at the end of 2022.
For an explanation about this repository see
https://www.slf4j.org/faq.html#excludingJCL
If your projects are using the http://version99.qos.ch/ repository you
need to take remedial action before the end of the year. Remedial action
could consist of copying the artifacts from version99.qos.ch to a local
repository at your premises.
Here is a typical declaration for the version99 repository in a Maven
POM file.
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>version99</id>
<url>http://version99.qos.ch/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
Best regards,

Hello all,
I am thrilled to announce the simultaneous release of logback versions
1.3.2 and 1.4.3. Both versions require slf4j-api version 2.0.x or
later.
These releases bring improved MDC performance. For other details, please
refer to the the news page:
http://logback.qos.ch/news.html
Why two simultaneous releases?
Given that downstream users are likely to depend on either Java EE (in
the javax namespace) or on Jakarta EE (in the jakarta namespace) in
their projects, it was deemed important for logback to support both EE
alternatives.
As such, logback 1.3.x supports Java EE whereas logback 1.4.x supports
Jakarta EE, otherwise the two versions are feature identical.
Both 1.3.x and 1.4.x series require the fluent-API introduced in SLF4J
2.0.x.
The 1.3.x series requires Java 8 at runtime. If you wish to build
logback from source, you will need Java 9.
The 1.4.x series requires Java 11 at build time and at runtime.
Groovy configuration:
Support for Groovy configuration was dropped for security reasons but
was recovered by Tucker Pelletier (virtualdogbert). See:
https://github.com/virtualdogbert/logback-groovy-config
Benchmarks:
For benchmarking figures please see:
http://logback.qos.ch/performance.html
Reproducible builds:
Recent logback releases are reproducible. This means that anyone
checking out the code corresponding to the release version from github
and building that local copy, will get obtain an identical binary to
the binary found on Maven central. Note that due to issue MJAR-275
with the module-info.java produced in earlier java versions,
reproducible builds require Java 19.
