Logback 1.6.4

2026-09-24 Release of logback version 1.6.4

• Variable substitution is again applied to the scan attribute of the <configuration> element. The scanning refactoring in version 1.5.27 had dropped substitution, so values such as ${logback.scan.enabled:-true} were no longer resolved. As before version 1.5.27, an unrecognized non-empty value turns scanning on. The same substitution now applies to the scan attribute of <propertiesConfigurator>. This regression was reported in issues/1065 by vaibhavjain2.

• OutputStreamAppender and FileAppender now handle stateful encoders. The Encoder interface has a new default method called isStateful(), which returns false. An encoder that keeps state between calls to encode() can return true. For such encoders, the appender holds its write lock while encoding and while writing, so the output of concurrent appends cannot interleave. Stateless encoders still encode outside the lock, so their performance does not change. Existing encoders need no changes.

• Several race conditions in OutputStreamAppender and FileAppender were fixed. The appender is now marked started and the encoder header is written while the same lock is held, so a concurrent append can no longer write an event before the header. After acquiring the lock, the appender checks again whether it has been stopped, so no event is written after the footer. In prudent mode, FileAppender now encodes and writes each event while holding the lock.

• Fixed a data race on the logger count in LoggerContext. Loggers are created under the lock of their parent logger, so loggers with different parents could be created at the same time and increments of the shared counter could be lost. As a result, LoggerContext.size() could return a value lower than the actual number of loggers. The counter is now an AtomicInteger. This issue was reported in issues/1038 by hcantunc. The fix was contributed in PR #1055 by seonwoo_jung.

• TimeBasedRollingPolicy now supports half-day periods. Date patterns with the AM/PM marker, for example %d{yyyy-MM-dd-a}, used to be detected as daily and rolled over only at midnight. They now roll over at both 00:00 and 12:00. This issue was reported in issues/976 by shakthifuture. The fix was contributed in PR #1051 by seonwoo_jung. See TimeBasedRollingPolicy.

• If org.jline.jansi.AnsiConsole cannot be found on the class path, JansiConsoleAppender now emits warnings that explain how to add org.jline:jansi-core and then writes to the plain console stream. See codes.html#missingJlineJansi.

• The unused ch.qos.logback.classic.util.LogbackMDCAdapterSimple class was removed. LogbackMDCAdapter remains the default MDC adapter.

• A bit-wise identical binary of this version can be reproduced by building from source code at commit 07d291ca0d280bc5da934ec9ff5f1da634fd7937 associated with the tag v_1.6.4. The release was built using Java "21" 2023-10-17 LTS build 21.0.1.+12-LTS-29 under Linux Debian 11.6.

Logback 1.6.3

2026-08-14 Release of logback version 1.6.3

• In response CVE-2026-19880, MDCBasedDiscriminator (used by SiftingAppender) now strips forward and backward slashes (/, \) from MDC values before they are used as discriminating keys. This prevents path segments from escaping into destinations controlled by an attacker. When sanitisation actually changes a value, a warning is emitted; the warning is rate-limited (a small batch, then a lull of about ten minutes).

• Colour console support is split out into a dedicated JansiConsoleAppender. It wraps stdout or stderr with Jansi so ANSI escape sequences (for example coloured patterns) render correctly on terminals that need it, notably Windows. Prefer this class over the older path described next. See the appenders documentation.

• The withJansi property on ConsoleAppender is deprecated. Existing configurations that still set <withJansi>true</withJansi> continue to work for compatibility, but new setups should use JansiConsoleAppender instead.

• ConsoleAppender no longer treats the process console as an exclusive resource: stopping it does not close System.out / System.err. JansiConsoleAppender pairs each AnsiConsole.systemInstall() with systemUninstall() on stop, so repeated start/stop cycles do not leave Jansi installed or tear down streams shared with the rest of the JVM. Related behavior is covered by tests for issues/1063.

• Invocation throttling helpers were reworked: SimpleInvocationGate is renamed FixedIntervalInvocationGate, and BatchedFixedIntervalInvocationGate allows a short burst of invocations before applying a fixed lull. The sanitisation warning above uses the batched gate.

• The JPMS module-info for logback-core now exports the ch.qos.logback.core.property package, which had been missing from the module descriptor.

• A bit-wise identical binary of this version can be reproduced by building from source code at commit e8e824dede022a6d7208b36cfa875b0d1b7772f3 associated with the tag v_1.6.3. The release was built using Java "21" 2023-10-17 LTS build 21.0.1.+12-LTS-29 under Linux Debian 11.6.

Logback 1.6.2

clean.full.1.6.2.mp4

2026-08-10 Release of logback version 1.6.2

• Configuration analysis now detects contradictory caller-data inclusion instructions. For example, an AsyncAppender, SocketAppender or SMTPAppender with includeCallerData left at the default false is incompatible with a layout or encoder pattern that uses a caller-data converter such as %C, %M, %L, %F, %l or %caller. At runtime those converters would print question marks and still incur extraction cost on a worker thread. Logback now emits a configuration-time warning when such instructions disagree. See codes.html#callerContradiction for details. This issue was reported in issues/1059 by leeychee. The initial analysis was contributed by seonwoo_jung.
