Looks like the next version of SLF4J will have Marker's removed from the
interface (1).  Hopefully this will happen in the near future so that it can be
integrated with Log4j-1.3 before the snapshot release.  Should be a simpler
effort than what it took to produce the patch Curt wrote up to support a recent
version of SLF4J.

BTW, are we ready to say that Log4j-1.3 will support JDK1.3 as a minimum after
jumping through hoops to get Log4j-1.2.12 compatible with JDK1.1+ (which was a
valiant, and necessary, effort given the promises made for minimum JDK support
for the 1.2 branch)?  User's have their 1.2.12 release for earier JDK's.  If
they aren't willing to upgrade the JDK, what are the chances they'll be madly
keeping up with versions of other dependencies?  Let's be realistic and make
life easier for developers and users alike.

If the timing is to get something out next week, I'd suggest building  
the CVS HEAD without slf4j support for the snapshot release.  I have  
not confirmed, but my suspicion is that an slf4j-enabled log4j would  
require an slf4j*.jar on the classpath, potentially one from a  
specific beta of slf4j, to properly function.  The previous alpha did  
not have SLF4J support, so not having SLF4J support in the binary  
distribution would not be a regression.

Re: The next 1.3 alpha release

Hi All,

I am currently using 1.3 alpha for my development.

Please clarify on why NTEventLogAppender was removed in 1.3 release

as it was present in 1.2.11 and older.

Was there any reason for that?

Thanks,

Sunil

No one willing to support it, I believe?  Want to take a crack at it?

Excellent!  I suggest you open a Bugzilla (at 
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/ ) issue to keep track of 
development.  If you provide a good implementation along with good tests, 
it has a good chance at being accepted back into the project for 1.3.
