Re: Problems with DailyRollingFileAppender

DailyRollingFileAppender has been deprecated in log4j for quite a 
while.  The 0.9.7 implementation has problems and I have removed it 
from the CVS and will not appear in 0.9.8.  The recommended replacement 
is RollingFileAppender with a time-based strategy, however I have not 
confirmed that log4cxx is feature equivalent with the log4j 
implementation.

0.9.7 does not support java.text.SimpleDateFormat pattern strings 
instead it uses strftime format strings.  The current CVS supports 
SimpleDateFormat pattern strings and strftime format strings for 
compatibility.  The 0.9.8 implementation uses APR's strftime which 
doesn't support %Q for milliseconds.

I'm finally back home and hope can finish off the work for 0.9.8 in the 
next few days.
