Hello all, After a 18 months hiatus, I am happy to announce the release of logback version 1.3.0-alpha5. This version directly supports the fluent-API introduced in SLF4J 2.0.x. It also supports Jigsaw/Java9 modularization. Joran, logback's configuration system, has been rewritten to use an internal representation model which can be processed separately. Given the breadth of the changes, support for SiftingAppender and Groovy configuration have been dropped temporarily. No new features are available in this version. Future releases will gradually introduce new features made possible by Joran representation model. The 1.3.x series requires Java 8 at runtime. If you wish to build logback from source, you will need Java 9.
