We're interested in logback as a replacement to log4j. One of the questions I get is what's the span in time and features between logback today (v0.9.8) and a v1.0 release. Yes, yes - that magical 1.0 carries a lot of weight with folks... In trolling the archives and documentation - I did see reference to the fact that the team believes in the value of sound documentation, and the team isn't comfortable with a v1.0 release without good documentation. Seems you are on track to rectify that, and I think the manual is great. Bug fixes - I'm having a hard time determining the remaining significant open defects. Would you characterize the 0.9.8 - 1 span as having a lot of fixes? Few but important fixes? And what about features. And I hate to dredge up this topic - but will we ever see a config file watch such as log4j, and that was requested recently. Not a deal breaker for us - given the arguments for JMX config reload. And the magical question - rough timing of v1.0? Before 2008? Thanks!
