[logback-user] Upgrading Logback Classic from 1.3.8 to 1.3.9 causes ClassNotFoundException: ch.qos.logback.classic.spi.Configurator

[Ceki Gülcü]

Hi Christian,

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.

The class has been moved to logback-core module under
ch.qos.logback.core.spi package by mistake during experimentation and
will be reverted in the next version.


Best regards,
