2.0.17

A big thanks to @FreeAndNil for doing all the hard work of collating changes.

Bug fixes

2.0.15

Attention: .NET 3.5 Client Profile is no longer supported. I'm really sorry, I've tried to keep as many of the legacy targets available as possible, but after spending another 4 or so hours trying to get net35-client to build on any machine, I've given up - as far as I'm aware, this should only affect Windows XP clients. I'm afraid 2.0.14 was the end of the road for you. Apache log4net 2.0.15 addresses reported issues:

Bug fixes

• Improper usage of xml namespacing for netfx targets after a netstandard update ( LOG4NET-685, related LOG4NET-683)
• Locking hashtables during write in RenderMap calls to make them thread-safe ( LOG4NET-646)
• An issue where RollingFilAppender would sometimes overwrite files instead of rolling them ( LOG4NET-672)

Enhancements

• Enforce TLS1.2 in the ps1 scripts provided for dev use
• Corrected links in README
• Open up the internals of LogEvent a bit for extension purposes
• Add information about FixFlags and performance to the BufferingAppender (and derivative) documentation
