1.5.60 February 9th, 2026

Akka.NET v1.5.60 is a maintenance release with a bug fix and a new feature for structured logging.

Bug Fixes

• Fix TestActor initialization race in parallel test startup - Fixes a race condition where TestActor could receive messages before its initialization was complete when tests were run in parallel, causing intermittent test failures.

New Features

• Add logging context enrichment and scopes - Fixes issue #7535. Adds WithContext() and BeginScope() extension methods to ILoggingAdapter for structured logging context enrichment. Context properties are automatically included in log output and forwarded to downstream logging providers like Serilog and NLog. See documentation.

  var log = Logging.GetLogger(Sys, "example");
  
  // Enrich a logger with additional structured context
  var enrichedLog = log
      .WithContext("Tenant", "foo")
      .WithContext("Partition", 12);
  
  enrichedLog.Info("Processing {Offset}", 42);
  // Output: [INFO][...][akka://sys/user/a][Tenant=foo][Partition=12] Processing 42
  
  // Create a temporary logging scope
  using (var scope = log.BeginScope("RequestId", "REQ-123"))
  {
      scope.Log.Info("Handling request {RequestId}", "REQ-123");
  }
