[slf4j-dev] Release of SLF4J 1.5.9.RC1

[Ceki Gulcu]

Hello,

The version sanity check in LoggerFactory expects an exact match of the version 
string. So if the declared version is "1.5.9.RC1", then "1.5.9.RC1" must be in 
the internally maintained compatibility list, having 1.5.9 in the list is not 
enough. This was fine as long as there were no release candidates. To keep a 
long story short, I've just changed the code so that adding 1.5.9 to the list 
will cover any variant of 1.5.9.* including 1.5.9-RC0 and 1.5.9.RC1.

In any case, the next official version of SLF4J will be 1.5.10, skipping 1.5.9 
which only had release candidates. I hope this shed some light into the matter. 
My apologies for the confusion.
