[qos.ch-announce] Release of SLF4J version 2.0.0

[QOS.ch annoucements]

Hello all,

After  a long estation  period, I  am very pleased  to announce  SLF4J
version 2.0.0.

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.

Please refer to the the news page for more details on this release:

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.
