[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Closed: (HHH-3753) Upgrade to SLF4J version 1.5.8

Upgrade to SLF4J version 1.5.8 ------------------------------ Key: HHH-3753 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3753 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Reporter: Ceki Gulcu Assignee: Steve Ebersole Fix For: 3.3.x, 3.5 I would like to suggest that hibernate upgrade to SLF4J version 1.5.7 Several important bugs were fixed between 1.5.2 and 1.5.7. Just as importantly, 1.5.6 is more tolerant when there is a mismatch between the slf4j-api and its binding (e.g. slf4j-log4j12). The version mismatch problem (see [1]) seems to pose problems to several users. We are taking this issue seriously. SLF4J version 1.5.6 mitigates this problem by alerting the user about SLF4J version mismatches. (Thus, instead of a mysterious exception, the user gets an explanation pinpointing the problem.) We are also working on making slf4j-api and its bindings to mix and match independent of their versions. 1.5.7 fixed a major compatibility issue wrt JDK 1.4 support.
