[logback-dev] Release of Logback 0.8

[Sebastien Pennec]

January 12th, 2007 - Release of version 0.8

This version contains a whole new chapter, namely Chapter 3, about logback 
configuration. Several other documentation pages have been improved.

Logback now uses Generics in many components.

Several new components have been added to logback. A JMX Configurator now allows 
users to see and modify loggers or reload configuration among other possibilities. A 
document about this configurator is available in the corresponding section of the 
site. We'd like to thank Sebastian Davids for his ideas and contributions to this 
component.

A JMSTopicAppender and JMSQueueAppender are now available, as well as two new 
filters: LevelFilter and ThresholdFilter. A refactoring was done in the filters 
objects to ease the implementation of custom filters.
