The Jakarta Commons team are pleased to announced that Jakarta Commons Logging (JCL) 1.1 has been released. JCL is a thin bridging API for logging with adapters for many common logging systems. Read more about JCL here.

JCL 1.1 is a maintenance release. A few new configuration features are provided but the focus has been on improving the discovery of logging implementations and in error handling whilst maintaining backwards compatibility. A number of problems that have troubled some users in past releases will hopefully be significantly reduced or cured. This is covered in more detail in the release notes.

Some changes have been made to the class-wise composition of the distributed jars. Some deprecated classes are no longer shipped. This is covered in more detail in the release notes.

The JCL documentation has also been improved. A Technology Guide offering an introduction to classloading issues and a Troubleshooting Guide complement an improved User Guide.

Binary and source distributions are available. The jars are available from the usual repositories with groupId: commons-logging and artifactId: commons-logging. Please remember to verify the signatures.
