[logback-user] 1.0 release date?

[Jeff Jensen]

I may be right?  Just look at the Logback home page and see a few projects
using it, e.g. SpringSource's dm Server.

 

You place too much value in a marketing thing - a release number!

 

You are also confusing authors of work - I am a fan and user of SLF4J and
Logback.  All credit goes to Ceki and associates.

 

For stability concerns, you should review the Logback history with its
genesis from Log4j.  You do know Ceki, the Logback founder, is also the
founder of Log4j?

 

'nuff said.

Hi Jeff,

 

You may be right about that (though I haven't seen it pulled down as a
dependency for my Maven builds, yet...), but large organizations often don't
see things the way you and I do.  They won't ditch an acceptable, stable
log4j for what *appears* to be a beta.  After over 4 years of active
development, though, it seems reasonable to expect multiple full releases of
something as relatively small in scope as a logging framework.  The fact
that we don't see a 1.0 yet perhaps indicates over-perfectionism.  This
often happens with other OSS projects (JDOM being a notable case of this, as
I remember).  For our sake, please just get to a reasonably stable build and
label it "1.0".  We'll expect bug fixes and minor API changes, of course, as
that's natural, and new features can be released incrementally.

 

Are there some must-have features that have yet to be implemented?  It would
be nice if the FAQ were updated for this, along with a high-level road map.

 

Thanks for all for the hard work!
Ari

Just because the release number begins with a value < 1 doesn't mean it is
in beta.  Lots and lots of products around the world use SLF4J and Logback
in production operations, and I bet including some of the FOS frameworks you
are using!

Hi,

We'd like to switch from log4j to logback, but can't use beta releases.
logback has been in development for over 4 years now -- any idea when
we'll see a 1.0 release?

Thanks,
Ari
