2012-06-18 New Lead Developer for .NET appender

As of June 2012, Jozef is stepping down as a maintainer of log4mongo-net library and Gian Marco Gherardi is becoming new maintainer and project lead.
Gian Marco has done a lot of work in log4net + MongoDB logging area and project will evolve in his hands.
The nearest milestones are update of log4mongo-net dependencies, most up-to-date NuGet support and better customization and control over logged document structure.
I'm wishing all the best to Marco in his new role and looking forward for exciting improvements in log4mongo-net project !

2011-12-13 log4mongo-python 1.1 beta released

Lately, too many people have been asking, how to extend/modify log4mongo-python (mongo handler for python logging) handler to log custom or contextual information. Do they need to extend the formatter class or somehow modify the handler itself ? As of this release, these questions are no longer relevant. New version 1.1 now contains full support for logging contextual information. You can decorate logging event with additional contextual information very easily. For more information how to do it visit log4mongo pypi or github page.

2010-11-06 log4mongo-java 0.6.0 Released

Highlights:

  • Added support for replica sets
       The hostname property now takes a blank space delimited list of hostnames. You should include all hosts that can become master, i.e., not passive or an arbiter.
       The port property can either be a single port number for each host or a blank space delimited list of ports, one for each of the hosts in the hostname property.
  • Appender no longer attempts to insert documents if initialization failed. This was preventing servlets from initializing.
  • Maven pom.xml now generates source jar and Javadocs (mvn javadoc:javadoc).
  • Tested with MongoDB 1.6.3 and 1.7.3 and Mongo Java driver 2.1 and 2.3

2010-10-12 log4mongo-java 0.5.0 Released

Highlights:

  • Made BSONification code more easily reusable
        Base code for BSONifying objects was separated out into an abstract BsonAppender class, LoggingEventBsonifier interface and LoggingEventBsonifierImpl class
  • Appender now closes connections to MongoDB when the appender is closed
        You can force Log4J to close appenders from your code by calling LogManager.shutdown(). When deploying to a servlet engine, you should do this from your webapp when the context is destroyed.
  • Tested with MongoDB 1.6.3 and Mongo Java driver 2.1 and 2.2

2010-08-30 log4mongo-java 0.4.0 Released

  • Tested with MongoDB 1.6.0

2010-08-26 log4mongo-net 0.6 Released

  • Updated to Updated to MongoDB driver 0.90.0.1

2010-08-25 log4mongo-java 0.3.2 and MongoDB Java Driver 2.1 Binary Incompatibility

The released binary of log4mongo-java 0.3.2 is not compatible with MongoDB Java driver 2.1 due to a binary incompatible change made to the Java driver. You can work around this problem by compiling your own binary against the 2.1 driver. A new release of log4mongo-java will be available soon.

2010-07-23 log4mongo-java 0.3.2 Released

Highlights:

  • Code relicensed under Apache License version 2.0
