Is log4net dead?

Question

I\'m looking for a logging framework and it seems log4net is or was very popular. The last release was over 2 years ago. It has not been updated for .net 3.0 or 3.5 or even

Answer 1

log4net is a port of something originally written in java. The port is more or less complete.

Additionally, the port targeted the .Net 2.0 runtime and .Net 3.0 and .Net 3.5 are also built on top of that same runtime. Therefore you can load log4net into Visual Studio 2008 and use it in a .Net 3.5 project if you want to. So as I understand it there's no real need to make a new version specifically for .Net 3.5 or Visual Studio 2008 at the moment. Visual Studio 2010 may of course change that (new runtime).
