    Description

      Below is a list of minor issues found with the site during the review for the 2.0.1 release.

      Project Info > Dependency Convergence: logj2-perf uses disruptor-3.2.1, but log4j-core uses disruptor-3.3.0.
      (Not an issue since log4j-perf is not a distribution artifact.)

      Javadoc: many package docs mention "Log4j 2.0". E.g.
      http://people.apache.org/~mattsicker/log4j/2.0.1/log4j-api/apidocs/index.html
      Sometime in the future we will release version 2.1, 2.2, etc.
      Should we update all Javadoc pages to "Log4j 2" to future-proof them?

      Similarly, the FAQ page mentions "the Log4j 2.0 implementation" and "the Log4j 2.0 API". We should probably change this to "the Log4j 2 implementation" and "the Log4j 2 API".

      Manual > Introduction (index.html)
      "The latest log4j version, including full-source code, class files and
      documentation can be found at http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.0/index.html."
      -> We should change that link to http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/index.html
      (It looks like 2.0 and 2.x both work as URLs.)

      Manual > Log4j 1.x Migration also has a few mentions of "2.0".
      Manual > Configuration page has one mention of "2.0".
      Manual > JMX has six places where log4j-api-2.0.jar etc are mentioned.
      -> Can we make these variables to they change with the ${project.version}?
      Manual > Custom Log Levels has two places where log4j-core.2.0.jar is mentioned.
      -> Can we make these variables to they change with the ${project.version}?

      Manual > Layouts > PatternLayout, %d pattern examples:
      %d{HH:mm:ss}{GMT+0} 18:34:02,781 <- this does not look right? The result has millis instead of timezone...

      Manual > Architecture > LoggerConfig > Log Levels: (we may want to rewrite the text below)
      The set of possible levels includes TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR, and FATAL.
      Note that in Log4j 2, the Level is an Enum and cannot be sub-classed.
      Users who desire more granularity are encouraged to use Markers instead.

      Manual > Extending Log4j > ContextSelector: missing AsyncLoggerContextSelector
