[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-3753) Upgrade to SLF4J version 1.5.7

[Ceki Gulcu (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3753?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=33401#action_33401 ] 

Ceki Gulcu commented on HHH-3753:
---------------------------------

The latest SLF4J is now 1.5.8. (One of our users reported a minor bug introduced in 1.5.7).

Thank you for the information on JDK support in Hibernate. 

As for dropping support for JDK 1.4 in SLF4J, I keep forgetting that from a client's perspective, as long as the runtime environment is JDK 1.5 or later, the version of SLF4J requiring JDK 1.5 or later will be indistinguishable from current versions of SLF4J requiring JDK 1.3 or later. Anyway, that is the theory. Since reality somehow always manages to make things more complex, we'll probably wait until later this to make a move, so as to be on the safer side.

> 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.
