Description

We are trying to migrate one of our product from log4j 1.x to log4j 2.x by using the Log4j 1.x bridge.

We are using custom FileAppender and ConsoleAppender in our product. However when we are trying to build the code using Log4j 1.x bridge, build fails with errors 'cannot find symbol'. We are trying to resolve this yet.

I have found a mention on web that "Version 2.17.2 will contain about 50 improvements in the Log4j 1.x bridge, among them some old classes like org.apache.log4j.FileAppender".

I expect that hopefully version 2.17.2 will ease the migration process.

I wanted to check does anyone knows the date or approximate date for the release of 2.17.2? 

Thanks!
