Torque 3.0 beta 2 released

The changes in Torque 3.0 beta 2 consist mostly of cross database
compatible SQL generation, query API enhancements, and bug fixes.
There was also a more major change to increase the Collections API
friendliness of Torque, which results in minor API incompatibilities
for those who were using implementation instead of interface to
manipulate the collections returned by Torque.  Reported speed
improvements from use of the non-sync'd ArrayList implementation have
been impressive, and general API interoperability has been increased
significantly.

In addition to all the usual suspects (and some new faces), this
release owes special thanks to Jeff Schnitzer for the long awaited
Vector to List conversion, and to Eric Dobbs for merging in plethora
of contributions from the Torque user and developer community.

log4j 1.2 now available


Greetings to all,

About a year after the release of log4j 1.1.3, log4j 1.2 (final)
is available at last. Compared to 1.2rc1 release, 1.2 final consists
of only bug fixes and a few cosmetic changes.

In addition to many performance improvements, bug fixes, and other
small enhancements, log4j 1.2 adds JMX support, Mapped Diagnostic
Contexts, JDBC logging, graphical log viewer (chainsaw), and buffered
IO capability. One important change is the replacement of the Category
class with Logger class and the Priority class with the Level class in
order to facilitate migration from the JDK 1.4 logging API to log4j.

Version 1.2 is the 22nd major public release of log4j. All changes
except the removal of deprecated methods are backward compatible such
that log4j 1.2 can be considered a drop in replacement for log4j
1.1.3. The only exception is the renaming of the CategoryFactory class
to LoggerFactory class such that subclasses of Category class to be
modified and recompiled. By the way, we strongly discourage casual
users from subclassing the Category or Logger classes.

See the docs/HISTORY file for a detailed list of changes.

Re: Torque 3.0 beta 2 released

Hello.

I would very much like to use the newest torque, but I need to use in in 
the context of turbine.  Right now I am using the tdk version 2.1

I tried a couple of times to upgrade my torque, but was not successful.

Is it possible to still use the tdk 2.1 and upgrade the torque 
component?  If so, any docs would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Phillip

log4j version 1.2.1 now available


Greetings,

This minor release fixes bug #9155 reported by Nicko Cadell.  This bug
would cause the wrong MDC information to appear on a log server. It
could only occur if the client wrapped an AsyncAppender around a
SocketAppender or if the server used an AsyncAppender for its logging.
A new test case has been added to detect such problems earlier in the
release cycle.

With the exception of this bug fix and some documentation
improvements, version 1.2.1 is identical to log4j 1.2 final.

You can download log4j version 1.2.1 at

     http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/download.html

Regards,
