2025-12-11 Release of logback version 1.5.22
• In order to prevent involuntary information leakage, Logback will no longer output the value of a substituted variable, if the variable name contains any of the case-insensitive strings "password", "secret" or "confidential". This problem was reported by Chintan Rohila in issues/986.
• Logback now takes the overridden toString() method of Throwable subclasses into account when printing stack traces. This issue was reported in LOGBACK-543 by Alvin Chee, with a fix provided in PR 404 by Brett Kail.
• Instead of limit-counting guard, Logback now uses a tumbling-window guard to rate limit internal error messages.
• A bit-wise identical binary of this version can be reproduced by building from source code at commit 572379a associated with the tag v_1.5.22. Release built using Java "21" 2023-10-17 LTS build 21.0.1.+12-LTS-29 under Linux Debian 11.6.
