Project Status

As of April 1, 2020 Log4Net is a dormant project of Apache Logging Services. The dormant status means the project has been classified as inactive since it has had no recent development activity and there are no active volunteers to perform code reviews, commit code, or perform releases. Although it is possible volunteers might choose to participate in the future, it is best to assume there will be not future development or releases.

What is Apache log4net™

The Apache log4net library is a tool to help the programmer output log statements to a variety of output targets. log4net is a port of the excellent Apache log4j™ framework to the Microsoft® .NET runtime. We have kept the framework similar in spirit to the original log4j while taking advantage of new features in the .NET runtime. For more information on log4net see the features document.

The Apache log4net project

log4net is part of the Apache Logging Services project at the Apache Software Foundation. The Logging Services project is intended to provide cross-language logging services for purposes of application debugging and auditing.
