Hi Ceki,
Glad to hear the next release of Logback is out!
I apologize that I was not able to complete the changes for the ShutdownHookAction and associated components prior to this release. I did intend to have it ready for you to merge prior to 1.1.2 - clearly I missed! I just wanted to reach out to you to find out how best to proceed with getting the changes to AsyncAppender and the ShutdownHook merged into logback.
I'm assuming that you would prefer that I pull and rebase my work against the latest commit in the repo? I'm not sure if I should close the current pull request and initiate a new pull request? Would you prefer that I split out the AsyncAppender changes into its own pull request, separate from the ShutdownHookAction components? This probably makes sense since the AsyncAppender timeout period is complete and valuable to others even without a built-in Shutdown hook mechanism in Logback.
Please let me know how you would like me to proceed - I want to make including these features as easy for the Logback team as possible!
Regards,
Mike Reinhold
