[slf4j-dev] Release of SLF4J version 1.6.1

[Ceki Gülcü]

Hello all,

I am happy to announce the immediate availability of SLF4J version
1.6.1 consisting bug fixes and dependency updates.

The Simple Logging Facade for Java or (SLF4J) serves as a simple
facade or abstraction for various logging frameworks,
e.g. java.util.logging, log4j and logback, allowing the end user to
plug in the desired logging framework at deployment time.

In the 1.6.x series, in the absence of an SLF4J binding, slf4j-api
will default to a no-operation implementation discarding all log
requests. Thus, instead of throwing an exception, SLF4J will emit a
single warning message about the absence of a binding and proceed to
discard all log requests without further protest. In other words,
libraries no longer need to bundle an slf4j binding along with
slf4j-api.jar in order to function out-of-the-box.

Please refer to the the news page for precise details.
