[logback-user] Release of logback 0.9.8

[Ceki Gulcu]

August 22th, 2007 - Release of logback 0.9.8

After several months of gestation, I am happy to announce the
immediate availability of logback version 0.9.8.

This version of logback synchronizes with SLF4J version 1.4.3. In
particular, logback now natively supports SLF4J's MDC API introduced
in SLF4J version 1.4.1. If you are using SLF4J version 1.4.1 or later
please make sure upgrade to logback version 0.9.8 (or later).

Fixed a number of documentation related bugs, in particular bug 90
reported by Luc Maisonobe and bug 88 reported by Sebastian Davids.

It is now possible to include configuration file fragments (in XML) as
a resource. Previously, it was only possible to include a file by
specifying a path to a file or a URL. This feature was requested by
Michael Newcomb in bug 89.

Fixed caller data extraction problem as reported in bug 78 by Hans van
der Meer.

The LoggingEvent class' constructor now correctly takes into account
the argument array passed by the user. This problem was reported in
bug 85 by Robert Christian.

You can download logback, including full source code, class files and
documentation on our download page, shown below.
