<div>Hi Jeff,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You may be right about that (though I haven't seen it pulled down as a dependency for my Maven builds, yet...), but large organizations often don't see things the way you and I do. They won't ditch an acceptable, stable log4j for what *appears* to be a beta. After over 4 years of active development, though, it seems reasonable to expect multiple full releases of something as relatively small in scope as a logging framework. The fact that we don't see a 1.0 yet perhaps indicates over-perfectionism. This often happens with other OSS projects (JDOM being a notable case of this, as I remember). For our sake, please just get to a reasonably stable build and label it "1.0". We'll expect bug fixes and minor API changes, of course, as that's natural, and new features can be released incrementally.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Are there some must-have features that have yet to be implemented? It would be nice if the FAQ were updated for this, along with a high-level road map.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for all for the hard work!<br>Ari<br></div>
