Dist Fedora Esm H88
Enhance your Fedora experience with log4cxx 1.7.0 upgrade featuring important bug fixes and new functionalities.
Update to log4cxx 1.7.0

Summary

Log4cxx is a popular logging package written in C++. One of its distinctive

features is the notion of inheritance in loggers. Using a logger hierarchy it

is possible to control which log statements are output at arbitrary

granularity. This helps reduce the volume of logged output and minimize the

cost of logging.

Update Information:

Update to log4cxx 1.7.0. New features: fallback-ref appender attribute, Qt CMake find_package component, TelnetAppender NonBlocking option. Bug fixes: non-ASCII JSON encoding, invalid XML 1.0 characters in XML output, crash on recursive XML config references, possible UB during configuration changes, message loss during recursive logging, ODBCAppender prepared-statement buffer lifetimes. No ABI-relevant changes; liblog4cxx SONAME (%{sover}) is unchanged.
