Version 1.5.0-beta1 contains **breaking API changes** and new API changes for Akka.NET.
Breaking Changes: Logging**
In [https://github.com/akkadotnet/akka.net/pull/6408](https://github.com/akkadotnet/akka.net/pull/6408) the entire `ILoggingAdapter` interface was rewritten in order to improve extensibility and performance (logging is now 30-40% faster in all cases and allocates ~50% fewer objects for large format strings).
All of the changes made here are _source compatible_, but not _binary compatible_ - meaning that users and package authors will need to do the following:
Add `using Akka.Event` in all files that used the `ILoggingAdapter` and
Recompile.
> NOTE: you can use a [`global using Akka.Event` directive](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/welcome-to-csharp-10/#global-using-directives) to do this solution / project-wide if your project supports C# 10 and / or .NET 6.
In addition to improving the performance of the `ILoggingAdapter` system, we've also made it more extensible - for instance, you can now globally configure the `ILogMessageFormatter` via the following HOCON:
```
akka {
loglevel=INFO,
loggers=["Akka.Logger.Serilog.SerilogLogger, Akka.Logger.Serilog"]
logger-formatter="Akka.Logger.Serilog.SerilogLogMessageFormatter, Akka.Logger.Serilog"
}
```
That will allow users to use the `SerilogLogMessageFormatter` globally throughout their applications - no more annoying calls like this inside individual actors that want to use semantic logging:
```csharp
private readonly ILoggingAdapter _logger = Context.GetLogger<SerilogLoggingAdapter>();
```
Breaking Changes: Akka.Persistence.Sql.Common**
This is a breaking change that should effect almost no users, but [we deleted some old, bad ideas from the API surface](https://github.com/akkadotnet/akka.net/pull/6412) and it might require all Akka.Persistence.Sql* plugins to be recompiled.
For what it's worth, [Akka.Persistence.Sql.Common's performance has been improved significantly](https://github.com/akkadotnet/akka.net/pull/6384) and we'll continue working on that with some additional API changes this week.
Other Changes and Additions**
[Akka.Actor: New API - `IActorRef.WatchAsync`](https://github.com/akkadotnet/akka.net/pull/6102) - adds a new extension method to `IActorRef` which allows users to subscribe to actor lifecycle notifications outside of the `ActorSystem`.
[Akka.Actor: Suppress `System.Object` warning for serializer configuration changes](https://github.com/akkadotnet/akka.net/issues/6377)
