Hello all,
I am very pleased to announce the release of SLF4J version 2.0.3. This
release corrects a bug in Reload4jLoggerAdapter when used in conjunction
with the fluent API, the timestamp would not be not correctly set.
Please refer to the the news page for more details on this release:
http://www.slf4j.org/news.html
The 2.0.x series introduces a backward-compatible fluent logging
API. By backward-compatible, we mean that existing logging frameworks
do not have to be changed in order for the user to benefit from the
fluent logging API. However, existing frameworks *must* migrate to
the ServiceLoader mechanism. The resulting internal changes are
detailed in the FAQ page.
http://www.slf4j.org/faq.html#changesInVersion200
The 2.0.x series builds upon the the 1.8.x series which was
modularized per Java Platform Module System (JPMS/Jigsaw).
The 2.0.x series requires Java 8.
Binary compatibility:
Mixing mixing different versions of slf4j-api.jar and SLF4J provider
can cause problems. For example, if you are using
slf4j-api-2.0.0.jar, then you should also use slf4j-simple-2.0.0.jar,
using slf4j-simple-1.5.5.jar will not work.
With the exception of the fluent API (new in SLF4J 2.0.x), from the
client's perspective all versions of slf4j-api are compatible. Client
code compiled with slf4j-api-N.jar will run perfectly fine with
slf4j-api-M.jar for any N and M. You only need to ensure that the
version of your provider matches that of the slf4j-api.jar. You do not
have to worry about the version of slf4j-api.jar used to compile a
given dependency in your project. You can always use *any* version of
slf4j-api.jar, and as long as the version of slf4j-api.jar and its
provider match, you should be fine.
