    <p>SFL4J API now uses generics. This enhancement was contributed by
-   Otavio Garcia.</p>
+   Otavio Garcia. Due to erasure of generics in Java, the changes are
+   backward-compatible.</p>
 
    <p>The slf4j-migrator can now convert statements using the long deprecated 
-   <code>Category</code> class. The following statement 
-   </p>
-   <pre>Category cat = Category.getInstance(Foo.class);</pre>
-   <p>will be converted as</p>
-   <pre>Logger cat = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Foo.class);</pre>

+
+   <p>Added the <code>SimpleLayout</code> and
+   <code>FileAppender</code> classes to the log4j-over-slf4j
